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."

    News for Jews. Yiddish that matters.

    Gay schloffing, you facacta chaza!
    Oy vey!

    It is your duty, as devout Muslims, to eradicate all Jews from the face of the Earth. I call on you, in the name of martyrdom, to bring a DoS to these Jews the likes of which they have never seen! Allah is great!

    Much better than boring VGA text mode screenshots of DOS, which would not have gotten mention here at SlashDot.
    Good point. SlashDot is like double monster selective about the stories it accepts. It would never publish a story about, for example, some jap who's made a model aeroplane shaped like the Starship Enterprise. Not even once, and certainly not twice. I mean, as if /. would ever post any story twice! ROFLMAO!
