I have been trying to locate the bochs X86 emulator that was ported over to Pocket PC. It was located at mamaich.kasone.com but the site has been down. Can anyone point me to a download for this app? Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Hi
Try some p2p net.
You should get PocketDOS (which emulates 0x86) and then google for bochs 486 plugin.
have fun

I am wanting to try to get windows 95/98/98se as well as a fiew distros of linux running on my PPC. I was under the impression that only the bochs x86 emulator for PPC was the only one that has been able to do this. Is there another way?

Wow..
You expect much from your PPC :)
I don't think it's possible.
But you may try...
Dowload pocketDOS and then search for bochs 4x86 emulator plugin.
You'll have an intel 486 processor support but memory simulation is still crappy in pocketdos. You probably won't run anything more than DOS and simple DOS programs. (Even Windows 3.11 won't install because of 320x240 screen).
I don't think it's possible to run anything that uses CPU protected mode (windows / linux).
My best adventure with pocketdos :) was running norton commander and my x86 assembler programs.
Try it.
have fun :)

Guys and gals, don’t forget to check out my brand new, MS-DOS / x86 emulation-related article at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1276884
(Sorry for flooding – IMHO, this article certainly deserves attention because it answers ALL the questions a Windows Mobile user may want to EVER ask about emulating MS-DOS. Make sure you read it!)
