Here's Windows 95 Running On A New Nintendo 3DS

ey2houncu8oxgrozp0xw.gif

 

        I remember myself having a 3ds, and playing with it a few years back. Although the functionality is quite limited, it's still quite impressive that someone managed to put it onto the device. Although I don't really play with mine, I still see people in public play with their every then and now, some a few years older than people. But i'm not judging haha  :P , some of the games on the nintendo platform do bring nostalgia.

 

Here's a video of it booting up.

Well, wehn people do these sorts of things they aren't really doing it with functionality in mind, they just want to crack the puzzle.

I know. If they just did to unlock more functionality, this would be utter useless.

 

But then again, people (including me) find it cool when we figure ways we can do stuff that is unintended. After all, who needs warranties, right?

It's more of a proof of concept project, not a practical project.

Windows 95 is just an MS DOS shell....so its more like MS DOS running on a 3DS.

No, even the New 3DS is too underpowered to run XP. It MIGHT be able to run Linux with a lightweight window manager, though.

I think the fad for me went away a long time ago.
