Not that I would remove linux to put windows (even more this "updated" version of it). But still it is incredible...

Just compare that with iPhonie that barely supports Bluetooth...

Goodness that's slow. Not terribly surprising, since it has to emulate the x86 instructions.

Does DosBox internally support executing the HLT instruction? Windows 3.x didn't support it, causing the CPU to run at 100% all the time. I could see that causing the redraw sluggishness as it loaded down the processor.

Ah......3.11, the days of playing the original Command on Conquer on that on my Pentium 90. And the 9600 baud modem.

Now only my dream to see Windows ME on this needs to be realized. Reckon thatīll be possible?

Wow, that's significantly faster than on the N8x0. Almost usable!

That mouse problem has been around since the beginning. That has to be fixed before anything else...

I'd like to see Win95 before WinME.

ANYTHING is better than WinME.

I can only imagine suggesting WinME is because running old/slow Windows on the N900 makes about as much sense as running WinME.

Would have been cooler if they could get 2nd reality to play in a dosbox w/ sound.

Hi, i'm the author of that Youtube video this thread started about I've since then tweaked Dosbox settings somewhat, adding some frameskip makes it go smoother. Now I'm trying to set up a bluetooth mouse of which I'm posting a question in a separate thread at the same time as writing this...

I like the way people joke about using Windoze.

Oh...you're serious? You really do use Windoze?
