Its true, people have been installing Windows 95 on their Sony PSP's and also some people used linux

I have no idea why, if they wanted a PDA they could of bought one

[ShadowFox]

that's great... but why 95?

do they still support games?

[clarky3429]

i suppose because they either want a really small amount of space, the capabilities of the PSP (im not sure about the specs, these are only guesses)

[ShadowFox]

Yeah I can see that, but if you want to save space why not use Windows CE?

or Linux even... they have linux for iPaq/Palms, I'm sure It'd work on a psp if 95 runs on it!

This has been possible for quite a while now with the crude, quick port of the bochs x86 emulator to the psp. From what I know, it currently takes about 30-40 mins for Windows 95 to boot but isn't too bad when it is booted. It seems as tho the creator is looking to speed it up by using a hardware solution (using the full potential of the graphics card) to stretch the image to the full size of the screen as this software solution currently used creates a huge overhead.

So anyway.... hopefully that has enlightened you all

BTW, That's right, I am still alive.

SOme people have put Doom on their ipods. LOL, you use swipes around the wheel to do different moves...quite complicated really.

sad people lol,its jsut a game machine

[Neon]

OH i am stupid, i meant to mention that some folks stuck linux on it...but someone mentioned Windows C.E which is now Windows Mobile.

That would of ran really well i would think, people need to use their heads!

[ShadowFox]

No... they just need to ask for my opinion

[gamer_pro_2000]

Why would you want to install Windows on a PSP anyway? What in the world can you do with Windows 95? You can't even play games with it, because most don't support anything before Windows 98SE anymroe. PLus, 30-40 minutes to boot??!?!?!?!?!?!? What the heck! My old 100mhz machine would move faster than that!!!! PSP's can already surf the web, play music, play movies, play games, etc. What more could you want in a palm device? Word processing?

[ShadowFox]

LOL on a psp? I dunno if workd processing would even be worth having... considering... Is it touch screen? If not... it's pointless LOL

[Neon]

No idea why people would do it for one reason...ok as a small experiment, but how do you get it all back to normal

[ShadowFox]

REAL good question... I wouldn't try it personally... I'm not that dumb O.o

[Neon]

Just discovered, someone modded MSN messenger to run on a PSP and it works well *without windows or linux on the actual PSP software*

[ShadowFox]

Kudos to them then!!! Finally... someone with some sense!
