Windows 95 Has Been Ported To Nintendo 3DS

This is something you probably never thought would happen, but Windows 95 has successfully been ported to the Nintendo 3DS. Yes, there’s also video footage available to back up the claim which first started on the GBA Temp forums. It is by no means complete and it is nowhere near as speedy as your desktop OS, but it is a start!

    1. Most of the video was just a loading screen. At about 1:10, Windows tried to access the C: drive and failed. It then reset to the loading screen for the rest of the video. It’s not a working port yet, but it’s better than nothing. I think that’s correct, anyway. I dropped I.T. after GCSE because it didn’t teach me anything.

    No.
    I will call this sucessful when the 3DS will reach the desktop.
    They’re getting close to, though… Keep going.

  2. Why not something that actually maters… Like Android? This is still funny tough, but it’s so irrelevant. AIt feels like Android could be so much easier and optimiseable for this.

    1. Android would run awfully on 3DS unless they ported one of the original versions of it. It probably wouldn’t fare much better on a New 3DS, either. Iirc there isn’t much RAM to go around, and as we all know, the 3DS doesn’t always handle its own OS smoothly. At least Windows 95 was used on utter dinosaurs XD

  4. Ported? Last time I checked, no one had either obtained the source code for Windows 95 or reverse engineered it. This is almost certainly being emulated by the 3DS using a port of QEMU.

    Booo! If your computer took that long to start up. Then I must say, you old bitches have quite the patience. I would thrown that shit out of a window waiting that fucking long for it to boot up

        The patience with human beings has never fucking existed. That’s we try to force ourselves to push whatever is so slow or outdated to the best of it potential. But since you old bitches were exposed to this “primitive” technology you wouldn’t no any better to fucking wait.

            Rigth….. sure this trifling Xbox sons of bitches need to died out. But the human race will never fucking die out. But wish away my good sire. I’m just telling you that you’ll be fucking crushed in the end.

                Oh I fucking understand. I Just Simply have different way of thinking.
                Yeah I still play it. It’s just that I’ve tried out fire emblem awakening for first time and so fucking addicting. Why?

                  >>>Otherwise I have 100% on all continents except Noctilum which is only Telethia missing but I have no chance at all right now against it>>>

                    Yeah I can tomorrow though. I still have a level 30 skell. I’ll try tonight to get to level 60 and a level 50 skell. It will benefit us greatly.

                      1. 💃I'm a Boss Ass Bitch💯

                        Damn fucking overachiever. The epuipment on the ares 90 is unchangeable due to the fact that it all build into the skell. Unless you’re talking about battle augments

                          >>>True but I’m thinking you can also add 4 more things to it using Miranium bought upgrades right?>>>

                          >>>If not, I require the best augments possible and at least one more Ares 90 too>>>

                          1. 💃I'm a Boss Ass Bitch💯

                            Why do you need of them? One Ares 901 is already fucking bad ass enough. I Know very little about the augments myself. But i know for sure that they have augments that work well on different types of enemies. For an example, on my lailah skell. I have augments on mechanical enemies hyper – blah – blah however you spell that fucking word. I have humanoid and I insects one on my ground gear. Whatever the hell type of monster the telethia and it’s brethren are, those type of augments should be used when going up against them.

                                Nice. Tell me how your research plays out. I would do it my self. But I just simply don’t have the fucking time anymore.

                                    Same. My first semester of college starts soon. My path to game developer being in fucking two months. Soon You bitches will grovel at my fucking feet.

                                        Who knows where I’ll end up though. My Target company is a division somewhere in nintendo. If that’s a failure than I’ll simply make my own fucking game development studio and try to get recruited by Nintendo.

                      3. I guess my question is: What’s the possible point in running 20 year old software on a 3D machine anyway? Why not just find an old computer and put 95 on it? I probably have 3 or 4 around here that could be used.

                      4. O_o Video evidence my ass.
                        It spent over half the video sitting on the title screen and then the one attempt that was shown to actually open Windows failed.
                        Yup, I’m convinced.

                        What purpose would Windows serve on a 3DS anyway?
                        I’m genuinely interested here but this tells squat.
