Microsoft Windows 3 on Xperia

[6600_best]

hey everyone
here's my 2nd post in XDA (best windows device site)

i manage to run Microsoft windows 3 on xperia ....with the help of Pocketdos
i have searched the forum but found the another way with Dosbox but its very tricky and this (with pocketdos) its easy....

there are 3 rar in attachment ..
1st- pocketdos full
2nd- windows
3rd-pocketdos mouse drivers

1st install pocketdos in memory card then place pocketdos mouse drivers in pocketdos folder (eg. D\program files\pocketdos\)

2nd copy the WIN folder to pocketdos folder (same as above)

run pocketdos and type the following cmd after it reaches command promt:

s: <enter>
cd win <enter>
win

and enjoy

Pics or video of it?

Eh?

Ok, so I got it installed, did as you say, executed "win" and the Windows 3.0 shows, then a black line over it showing thecmmand prompt again.

Is it not booting into win properly or do I need to do something else? I was about 7 years old last time I used Win 3 so I can't remember how the hell it works.

whats about win 3.11 ?

 

[Ethermind]

yess! it works!

you must do additional steps - add Extended memery, expanded memory, 486 emulation etc.

Can this app be used in landscape mode?

Is apps requiring a 486 running good? At least with the same performance as a 486SX/25?

I can't run anything.
The dll cpu is in pocketdos folder, but I can't see frof option...
I want to try XENON2!

Nice and funny

Any chance of running windows 95 / 98? the 800x480 resolution of the screen would make it pretty neat i guess

 

[leobox1]

nokia??? 95/98??

 

[Darth Sith]

Xenon2 doesn't work...

What about fallout 1 ? it works on dos/windows 95 and minimum cpu is 486 66mhz and needs 16/32 mb ram

(fallout 1 used to run on older ppc's with mips cpu's i saw some dead old forums dated of 2004 with info about how to install it)

Fallout for PPC was recently released, though I haven't gotten it to work with the x1 yet
