Windows 98SE emulated on Pocket PC

David Horn writes "PocketGamer is carrying a story on the successful emulation of Windows 95 and Windows 98SE on the Pocket PC. This was made possible by a Pocket PC port of Bochs, a DOS emulator. If you're keen to try this yourself, you'll need a minimum of a 256MB memory card (or stream the image over a wireless network) and you'll need a program like Nyditot Virtual Display to increase your screen resolution. Oh, yes, and you'll also need the emulator. You can find more information and a selection of screenshots here. Following the porting of a full speed Playstation emulator and Pocket Quake, this really raises the bar for what the Pocket PC is capable of."

I'll stick to emulating Windows XP on my full size laptop, thanks.

I feel sorry for the technical staff. I thought we were supposed to be against spamming?

Exactly, today while watching the FA Cup final in England I mentally emulated a professional soccer player. In a dazzling 10 minute spell I scored a record six goals, 5 were wonder strikes and 1 was a simple tap in. Unfortuately my emulation ultimately proved to be worthless as the manc scum won 3-0 anyway.

What the pocketPC is capable of...

Speaking as one of the PocketGamer webmasters...

Are you kidding?

You get the stability of Windows 98 combined with the speed and power of a Pocket PC... Sweet!!

I've never understood how the slashdot effect works: virtually nobody seems to rtfa, so the web traffic generated should be virtually null...

Unless, of course, people open the site on general principle -- and then close it?
