"A lot of quality console hacking goes on during the winter holidays, when enthusiasts have plenty of extra time to amuse themselves. Shutterbug2000 (via NeoGAF) spent that extra time utilizing a RetroArch DOSbox to get an ancient version of Microsoft’s operating system running on Nintendo’s latest hardware."



You know if you've ever wanted the technology of the 90's but in super portable form, I suppose this is the mod for you lol. I will say I'm Impressed by the ingenuity but im really not sure what you would use this for. What do you guys think?

Okay but can we get a 3DS working on Windows 95? Please?

so you can emulate a 3ds in windows running on a 3ds

Thats that. If you need to get in touch chances are you can find someone that knows me that can get in touch.

Honestly pretty awesome.  But its blackmagic an unholy matrimony between Microsoft and Nintendo. Wait for the fanboys to rage lol.

That's a possibility I just want to be able to play some 3DS games on my desktop though.
