I haven't got the means of uploading another video but i'll tell you, it's quite usable and not too slow if you configure your dosbox .config (search this site if you need more info on that). I'm not sure about installing any programs, i haven't tried.

Do you have links/pointers to make the win95.img - I have an official Win95 CD.

Cheers,
Check your PMs.


As for Windows 98, i'm trying to get that working now, yeah.

I am not finding emelFM2 in the app manager. I have testing and devel enabled.

What setting did you change in the dosbox.conf to make yours so fast. W95 is incredible slow on my n900 and how did you make it fit on your screen?

Download that through the browser on your device and save it in the 'n900' folder.

open x terminal and type:
Code:
cd /home/user/MyDocs/
dpkg -i emelfm2_0.5.0-rev29-optified01.deb

Disable all the sound emulation. (I'm sure you can do that without my help)

fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=640x480

core=auto
cputype=auto
cycles=2800
cycleup=100
cycledown=100

These are the settings i use but they're not 100%; I can't seem to get the mouse to sync

ok now i havent tried win95 in dosbox (my install files are bad) but i did have win3.1 running, although very slow. something you may want to try is setup easy debian lxde and run win95 in dos box within that. i know it sounds a little crazy but it will execute faster. i had win3.1 running a good 4 times faster when executing this way as apose to running in dosbox within maemo. not sure why it works better but it just does. perhaps lxde is better optimized than maemo but even so considering maemo is still running while lxde is eating up some cpu time dosbox still works ALOT better.

oh and the mouse will sync better. its not spot on but is better especially if the first place you touch the screen is where the cursor is.
