Homebrew Windows on the New 3DS

[FIXMY3DS]

You'd have to make your own image or edit one through DOSBox on Windows to insert it.

Thanks for the information but I can't even find a .img for Windows 95!
I wish it was allowed to post links for .img files..

It's possible to find one through a google search with iDos. Failing that you can always try "Darktraveler Windows" to build your own. You'll still need Windows 95 OS installation to do this though.

What do you mean?

 

[Pandaxclone2]

It shouldn't be hard to understand... -_-" If you want to find one try googling iDos. If you want to build one try googling "Darktraveler Windows". We can't exactly just hand you an .img on a silver platter as it comes under illegal warez, so your best bet is Google.

Regardless you'll still need to do some digging if you choose to find it.

There's an image of 98lite.

There's an image of 98lite.

Did you find it on the same website as the .exe?

I'm pretty sure him giving you any hints would be a no no.
No sharing pirated content links/hints to links.
Generally this is talking about roms but Microsoft has never released their copyright for any version of Windows AFAIK.
It could be safely considered abandonware but in reality abandonware is basically piracy. Just because a publisher no longer supports/distributes something doesn't automagicly remove the copyright they had on it.

I know. I was just hoping maybe someone could help.

The D-pad for me isn't working for some reason, the start and select works. I don't know if it's the image i'm using or if it's the emulator causing the problem.

I've said this before and I'll say it again, ARM systems are not suitable for x86/x64 programs.
The highest end smartphone you can buy with the highly optimized BOCHS is going to struggle with x86/x64. The switch/3ds have no chance of flawlessly running x86/x64. You'd be better off trying to run an ARM linux distro.

When I open it from the homebrew launcher, the bottom screen is red and the top screen is basically fuzz. (Yes I'm running on N3ds)

Will there be a .cia version compatible with sighax?

There already is, .cia's are still compatible with Sighax nothing is going to change with CFW that will render .cia's useless

XXXTORTELLINI: Can you tell where? It may fix my problem at attemping to make run Windows 98.
PS: I found out you can play Minecraft in Windows 98 at , but I wonder if... I hope not...

You can use a DOSBOX Retroarch .cia

XXXTORTELLINI: I have that... everytime I try to play it in my New 3DS XL, it just makes it crash, forcing it to reset the whole system.
I guess I still have to find the image files, Am I right? If so, Where? I can´t just look up Windows 98 and then just paste it to my SD card, since it has to be in .iso format.

The windows boot image has to be in .img format. You can find it by looking for iDos zip files that will have several windows boot images. I suggest that you use a built of 98 Lite if you really want windows 98 due to boot times

You can not run the PC version of Minecraft on a 3DS, much less play it. In fact, Windows 98 barely runs at all, and when it does (possibly via Win98 Lite), it's excruciatingly slow. There is an RDP client for the 3DS, I believe, though the name of the program eludes me.
