How to make Windows apps on your iDevice
by VladHQ

Introduction
First of all, I would like to say that yes, this is real. The .exe files would be 16 bit so they wouldn't be able to run on a modern computer, but with an emulator.

Explanation
This is very simple. We install DosPad, we grab a Windows 3.11 copy, and we install Visual Basic 3 on it.
Yes, Visual Basic on your device is pretty exciting.

Speed
I have two iPods. Both being the fourth generation, one was running iOS 5 and the second one was running iOS 6. The one with iOS 5 ran a lot better. It is still completely usable and I was able to make some cool stuff while doing this trick. Speed is about 5/7 of the original real old computer.

Pre-requisites

• A jailbroken device
  


• iFile
  


• Visual Basic 3 knowledge (it's easy to learn it)
  

Installing DosPad
First, view this thread with your iDevice. Second, download this.
Second, go to iFile and find the file you downloaded.
Click on the file and then Installer.

Restart your device and click on the app.

You have now installed the main tool we need. M$DOS Emulator.
We need to edit settings now, so click on the little gear icon in DosBox and click customize settings.

Delete everything and paste this in:

Setting up WIN3.1
I assume you have purchased a Windows before. Download this and extract it to /var/mobile/Documents/.

Setting Up Visual Basic 3
Download this. Extract it in /var/mobile/Documents/.

Developing Apps
Go to DosPad and type in win.
When you are at a loading screen, follow my video.

And that's it, guys. There are a bunch of VB3 tutorials and its really cool to run full Windows on your device. Don't think that just because its 3.1, there is no software for it. There is and there is a lot of it. I hope you all enjoyed this tutorial and stay tuned for more.

These are more along the lines of DOS applications than actual Windows applications. Nowadays you'll need alternative software to run DOS games/programs.

Well, technically yes since Windows 3.11/9*/ME required DOS to run, but you would have to have Windows installed along with DOS in order to run the built apps.
