Install Windows 98 On Bochs

admin 16.09.2019

Current Release: QEMU is a generic and open source processor emulator which achieves a good emulation speed by using dynamic translation. Vmware is a commercial virtual PC type system for Linux and Windows-based PC's. According to their FAQ, ' VMware Workstation runs multiple operating systems, including Microsoft Windows, Linux, and Novell NetWare.

many people buy a pocket pc to attempt to use it as a laptop replacement, and i don't own a laptop due to my pda usage. pda geeks who like to tinker with their device may want to follow the steps posted on pocketgamer.com to get window 95 or 98 running on a pocket pc. you will need to install the bochs emulator and a virtual display application like nyditot. the screenshots look great, but you should be aware that the author states it runs extremely slow at this time. now that he has it running, however, maybe someone else will pick up where he left off and see if it can be sped up to be more useful. even if it is sped up, though, i wonder if any applications can actually be run from the emulated operating system, or if this is just going to be a geeky thing to show off to people.

content ripoff(1:47am est fri sep 10 2004)
a simple google search using terms “windows 95 pocket pc” will reveal how the author of this blurb basically ripped off his text from other sites. how lame. at least change the order of the sentences or something, not just a couple of words. – by jamie

“windows has a lower cost of ownership that linux”

this is untrue and m$ have been banned from making this claim in the uk, after the advertising standards agency looked into the costs of both os's and discovered m$ claim was incorrect

rant over,
the emulator looks cool – by me

palm os??? hahaha!!!!!!!(5:06pm est sat jul 22 2006)
are you crazy jake6535?? palm-based devices are inferior to all pocket pcs!!! a high end palm-based device probably couldn't even emulate windows 3.1!!! besides… a smart programmer wouldn't even waste his time programming something for one of those pieces of crap…. do yourself a favor and go out and buy a pocket pc!!! you could probably find one on ebay for 10 bucks that could out perform a palm!!! – by matt graham

So i installed Win98 on a Win2k maching and although i managed to get it running, it took 20 to 30 minutes to boot up.

Well after tweaking the VGA and IPS the damn thing starts up in less than a minute! wow!

The applications within are slow coming up (oh well).

Next, I'm going to install Win98 on my XBOX-DEbian system and see what results i get.

I just need to figure out how to network windows 98 under bochs!??!? Anybody got links on how-to do this i'd appreciate it.
