Windows 98SE emulated on Pocket PC

Posted by timothy on from the and-then-run-pearpc dept.

David Horn writes "PocketGamer is carrying a story on the successful emulation of Windows 95 and Windows 98SE on the Pocket PC. This was made possible by a Pocket PC port of Bochs, a DOS emulator. If you're keen to try this yourself, you'll need a minimum of a 256MB memory card (or stream the image over a wireless network) and you'll need a program like Nyditot Virtual Display to increase your screen resolution. Oh, yes, and you'll also need the emulator. You can find more information and a selection of screenshots here. Following the porting of a full speed Playstation emulator and Pocket Quake, this really raises the bar for what the Pocket PC is capable of."

Maybe, next time, they should make a static HTML page without MySQL and use Apache rewrite to fake the PHP link? Poor website, maybe some mirrors could help!? freecache.org +1 funny
