Windows on iphone - m4n1Ac - Jun 29, 2010

You’ll need a few things before hand:

A jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch.
MobileTerminal installed on the device.
A copy of “bochs.deb”, which you can download from http://www.#/?d=6M1PN3B6

Once you have those things, follow these instructions:

Transfer “bochs.deb” to /private/var/mobile.
Run MobileTerminal on your iPhone.
Type in the following:
su
alpine
dpkg -i bochs.deb
It will then install everything for you. Do this command to exit out of Terminal:
killall Terminal
Do a respring and you should notice “Bochs” on your homescreen. Start it up.
Enjoy Windows 3.1 & Windows 95 on your iPhone or iPod Touch, despite how slow it may be!

Is this super slow on a 3Gs? Because I know 3G sure would fail trying to run this application from what I've heard.

It might be faster on some of the newer models.

Windows is a pretty good OS but your allowed to have your own opinion on it.

GTFO, I love Windows but then again what other OS allows you to really play video games on them? :P


* - SWS - Jun 30, 2010

I know this is probably a stupid question, but would I download this on my pc then sync to my ipod, or download on my ipod?


* - Whitе - Jun 30, 2010

* - SWS - Jun 30, 2010

Well, any other OS is probably to big..


* - m4n1Ac - Jul 1, 2010

Yeah, windows 95 is probably the only one that will work on iphone.
