Filed under the “just because” file, some gents with the iSoft team have successfully installed Windows 95 onto an iPhone.
Their hack works by running a basic Windows 95 image and the Bochs emulator. However, there are some very noticeable performance issues in the use of the OS. Still though, what matters is that they got it running!
Now they’re working on Windows XP. But, until then you can see the Windows 95 powered iPhone in action here.

I installed Mac OS 5 on my Nintendo DS. I'm still working out some of the bugs of getting some apps to work, but it uses full touch screen integration. I'll post some pics if you want. Here is the link for the guy who made it:

He is also working on porting Wolfenstein 3D.

But can it run Doom? (I think we can all agree it won't run Crysis.)

Any player that can run Rockbox can run Doom. Works pretty good on my Sansa e250.

Why do people waste time and energy on stuff like this? Why don't they channel that energy into something original?

So what? I ran it on my PSP. Now THATS impressive. It has much less processing power.

Netbook vs Computer Tower. A matter of Atom vs Corei7. Hint: think a little before you post.

and 2x older. If you take it apart though, most of the space comes from the umd drive and guess what? Real Buttons.

LOL failed to suceeed? Sony has sold 50 million! Way more than the iphone. Of course the DS has sold twice that but targets a different audience.
