I wasn't able to run it yet, I got a black screen after the Win95 logo, and the program hangs.

Please share your experience, maybe I need change some settings =P

i have tried both w3.1 and w95, but none of them work, i have tried both ways, but 3.1 does nothing, and 95 hangs at the windows logo

I just tried Windows 95

The first time, it ran Microsoft Scandisk and said a file was missing (Maybe I got a bad img)
I rebooted and tried again. now it's hanging at a black screen. I'll wait a little longer

EDIT:
lol, just got the BSOD

There's already info on gbatemp regarding this:

GBATemp DosBox topic

This topic title is very misleading!
You can run Windows 3.11, but the change you run Windows '95 descent, or at a speed fast enough to enjoy it, is almost 0.

I've also posted video of the Wii running Windows 95 in the thread that DjoeN mentions.
