Keepin’ it Old School; Windows 98 on the Nokia N900

   

 

Ha this thing just keeps getting better and better. As if being able to dual-boot Android wasnt good enough, the guys over at maemoworld.ru have managed to get Windows 98 working on the Nokia N900.

The forum’s in Russian, but here’s a Google Translated Version of the post by “pasaranax” :

Just say that it is a useless idea and carry it stands only for Lulzim
1. Set dosbox from repositories
2. Download the image section with vindom
3. Create a folder / home / user / MyDocs / dosbox and extract there W98Lite.img
4. Edit config dosboksa / home/user/.dosbox/dosbox-0.73.conf as follows:
somewhere at the top looking fullscreen option and make it true
? at the end of the file in section [autoexec] appends the string:
imgmount c /home/user/MyDocs/dosbox/w98lite.img -t hdd -fs fat imgmount c / home/user/MyDocs/dosbox/w98lite.img-t hdd-fs fat
boot -lc boot-lc
5. Run dosboks and wait for the download

Get the brakes lightly Windu with inadequate working myshoy

Wow... I wonder the next generation mobile phone can run dual boot Windows 7. Perhaps Snapdragon 1.5ghz dual core has the potential.
