Hey does anyone had booted Win95 using dosbox? (the desktop edition)
If anyone knows how-to then please reply.
I need it for the future Win95-Niki booting.
go to development and hacking thread and do a search
i remember there was a thread for win 95 using bosch emulator
and yes it run very poorly and there is only enough mem to start stuff like paint and notepad
If you search on Google you will find about this, but I preffer to emulate a old 68k Macintosh with vMac
BUT Bochs (for PPC):
-is workin' slowly
-is buggy
-on mine Niki(WWE 6.1; R:1.58.16.27), when execute, nothing happens
if your looking to boot on pc i would try virtual pc.
unless you didnt want to use that?
Another very good VM is VirtualBox. And here is the link for Virtual PC.
But it must be DosBox, 'cuz it's avalaible for PPC
as are all the other suggestions people give

A WORD OF WARNING
you could use bochs to do it.
im trying to run win 95 on xda 2 but no luck yet.
so it might not work

Humm. flyboyovyick2k9 gave you a very nice tip

win95 on a ppc?? sorry but I don't think its worth the effort. Booting from a memory card on the machine would take too long, and the resolution of the screen is WAAYY too low. But mostly I think that you wouldn't have an interface to the hardware, likeusing the modem etc.
Its very cool, but its not something that one must have
just for show off
Does anyone have a bootable floppy disk-image for me so that I can install Windows 95 on my Alpine?
Well if you search for Bochs, you will find working step by step instructions.
It's not that bad, if you have lotsof free program memory it runs pretty quick. Double clicking My Computer and it opens in a second or two.
On my device I dedicate 64MB or ram for emulation of Win95. It doesn't even slow down the device when it's in background.
i think CPU and RAM on Himalaya aren´t far enough to
worthy Emulate an PC with Windows 95
lots of People tried this...on much stronger Devices-- Fun looks different,dood!
I did tried it myself on my good old Universal (R.I.P) 2 Years ago
....i just want to say...why not use the time for laundry or sort your Screws....then its better used !
Talk about Pocket PC becoming more powerful
This was made possible by a Pocket PC port of Bochs, by Mamaich, who has also ported DosBox, a "program similar to Bochs but it's a lot faster and only emulates DOS". Sadly, the author tried and failed to get WarLords II working on both these versions, but I'm sure time will tell!
If you're keen to try this on your own Pocket PC, 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.
According to Miracle, what we really need now is for another developer to "pick this up and optimize it to get more speed, since Mamaich stated that he will not continue to work on this, but instead focus more on DosBox."
Given that this shows that a Pocket PC is easily powerful enough to run Windows 95 and 98 in an emulator, do you think that attention might shift from developing new Pocket PC games to trying to get the original PC games to work in emulators? While I played a few games in Pocket DOS, the lack of decent controls made enjoying them nearly impossible. On the other hand, a predominantly mouse based game might run quite happily, and allow everyone to enjoy it on the move.

Another Informative Article about PPC/BOCHS and Emulation
Please note: I have not tried this myself. However i believe this to be true and working, since ppc are powerful these days. In saying so, i do not believe this emulator will run on my h6365...you probably need a descent processor speed, probably a minimum of something around 400mhz (i'm guessing)
This opens up a big portal to the ppc world, if win95 can be stable on ppc, all win95 programs can run within ppc...
I do not take any responsibility for damage to your ppc resulting from this post!
Procedure is complicated, you will need to have some knowledge of PPC to do it.
Please if anyone has manage to get it working tell us here! Any problems please post
Bochs for ppc emulator is attached at the bottom!

Dosbox...
Don't work under Windows Mobile 2005 version.
And may you install windows 98 or ( Someone had that tried )
But you will got:
Slow performance.
Hardware errors
No sound ( With some devices )
Video problem
more more.
This is an emulated and remaked Windows version, ( and only a rumour )
Becareful.
Thx.

That's Right
I have done this a long while ago back when I had an Asus A620. I got Win95 to boot in 4-5 minutes. No keyboard, no mouse, but it was interesting.
Really interesting, but only for Win98 retrò experience on my pda, not for other, this os (win98 or 95) is really unstable compared to today microsoft products...it is possible to run win nt or 2000 with same system or ntfs make trouble? just a little workstation, on the xda XD
Dos emulations doesn't support nt platforms.
DosBox a simple Msdos emulation system, like Virtual PC,
the emulation projects maded for simple operations with some hardware restrictions.
such as soundless or low graphics.
The FreeSCI project is one of them. That's amiga emulation platform, now it has been resembled for Windows Mobile based Pocket PC's,
but some games are running slow, someones don't work, soms goes error.
There is no stabilitation.
I suggest, don't try hardluck...
You may lose ur pda,
windows98 maybe run, but WindowsNT never can be.
PDA's are not as notebook and not much flexible.
If you have 800 mhz or higher mobile processor and 128 or 256 mb ddr ram. May you can try to (The pda's will use ddr technology nearly) play some basic windows games.
May be solitaire...
A good dream...
But we don't use miracle devices,
They're only PDA's...
And they have already OS's and games....
Am I wrong?
"DosBox will emulate Windows Vista in future..."
I wish that,
But that will never happen, like windows98 or NT.. (in short times, before 2080 )
THX.

lol.not you are not wrong.i think maybe in the future....vista and his rootkits will run on my old C64
Does anyone know of a way to......
Well let me tell you whats going on here.
I have a win98 that has some old software that I NEED and I dont have the disc for them. And is there a way to compile a iso for them and install on the new computer!
well yeah.
If you download all the programs you want and make an iso with magic iso
But they would install all at once you would have to install them seperatly
flyboy
If you mean compile an ISO for the software that's already installed? No, I don't think that's possible because of the registry changes that a lot of software makes upon installation. You can always download them from various sources (which we're not allowed to discuss).
You mean run programs off the disc?
Thats possible. It can be done from a pen drive. But they might not always work.
Ya I am trying to have some programs on windows 98 and put on my vista. Its an old DOS prgm. Didnt know if I just switched over there files if it would work. But this one computer is about to dine and I need them....
Ye just get the programs and burn them to a disc. Heres the difficult part. You could try and run them in vista or make a windows 98 virtual machine like i use.
If you need any help on that PM me.
flyboy
Is it your hdd thats dieing? or the rest of it?
Tho I'm a PC guy, I am still the family techie. So when my uncle called me and asked me to help him run windows programs, which he hasily defined as "work stuff", onto his Mac ( 15" 4:3 core 2 duo MacBook Pro w/ Lion) I said I'd help.
I knew of a couple different ways to do it - bootcamp, parallels, wine, vmware, ect- and after a little Googling, I called him back and asked him about dual booting Windows 7. He would really rather avoid having to power down his computer and boot it back up whenever he needed to run his software, but he wouldn't mind having to buy a seat of W7 if it would make it work hassle free after I set it up.
So, of the avalible options, what would give the best overall system performance? I may end up doing this on his i7 iMac as well, if he likes whatever I do.
I know there are Mac users here, so I hope you can help.
wine http://www.winehq.org/
Or parallels. It will run a windows environment on top of Mac OSX
thanks for the answers guys, but i know what the options are. I was wondering, from someone who has experience, which works best? Surely there's one that works easier or faster than the others?
I was travelling the youtube and i saw a video where you can actually install windows 8 on your android device.
It's an app that installs the windows via the usb which must be connected to the device.
The app it's called Change My Software 8 Edition
The big question is : Is it real or is it Fake ?
Also if it's real, can you actually run .exe files like windows do ?
Or is it just an emulator ?
Or what is it then ?
That's a good question that I am exploring as well, and I can tell you what I do know thus far. For those that say "you can't run windows on an Atom processor" Google Windows RT. This is the OS that is used by the Microsoft Surface devices. I have yet to find a source to download this OS. It isn't even available on the MSDN network (at least not with my license), so I have not tested this to verify.
To answer the other questions:
Is it real or is it Fake ? Probably fake. If it were real they would charge for it.
is it just an emulator ? From the video I saw it appeared to be a dual boot system, so not an emulator.
if it's real, can you actually run .exe files like windows do ? If real, yes! **EDIT** Do some looking into Windows RT and you will find that you can only run the applications available in the Windows Store. very sad indeed.
For those who may be interested as well, here is a link to the video I watched.
Well... it will not let me post a link so you will have to search "How to install WINDOWS 8 on ANDROID TABLET/PHONE?? [TUTORIAL]" on YouTube. Sorry!!
