but rather people going to the store and purchasing the OS).
With the lack of anything other then a screen shot it is all speculation, but it would not surprise me to hear that someone inside IBM might have looked at this.Īt the time of Windows 95's release I suspect there was a lot of discussion within IBM about OS/2 - while Lou Gerstner may have already made up his mind, there was also momentum behind OS/2 - the Just Add Warp marketing campaign - aimed at home users - was released in the fall of '95, resulting in December 1995 with OS/2 having more sales then Windows 95 had to home users (ie, I'm not talking about pre-installed on new PCs. It is anyone's guess if this was actually done inside IBM or if it was someone who just decided to have some fun. There was speculation at the time that this "IBM emulator" was simply a screen shot of BOCHS with Windows 95 running which someone had tweaked a bit.
#DOSBOX WINDOWS 95 EMULATOR INSTALL#
It was slow and painful to run even on the fastest processors available at the time, but you could install (if you were patient enough) a full copy of Windows 95 on it similar to how you can install Win95 on Virtualbox today. If by some miracle the market react in a different way, maybe the product can revive, but that is not the common path.Īs I recall at around the same time that this so-called "screen shot" turned up, an OS/2 port of the BOCHS 386 emulator turned up around the same time.
#DOSBOX WINDOWS 95 EMULATOR SOFTWARE#
I had seen that business strategy many times, instead of going to announce the abrupt discontinuation of a software product, they minimize the dev team to only offer support, do not offer any new innovation on the product, offer only bug fixing and patches, and wait until the market just fall off so at that moment they can announce the discontinuation without a bigger impact. WSfeB, Warp 4.52 and Server 4.52 was only to continue the legacy support and to support a migration path to Java apps. So anyone inside IBM that wanted to do something more aggressive with the OS was stopped. (remember that at that time there was not Facebook or twitter. While many people was exited about Warp 4 release, some other with internal information knew that OS/2 was not going to get more investment. The reason this does not run on O3DS has nothing to do with available RAM, and people are already looking into fixing this.For what I known (maybe it is just a personal opinion), IBM's Lou Gerstner pulled the plug on OS/2 even before Warp 4 was released.
#DOSBOX WINDOWS 95 EMULATOR PSP#
update: the DOS emulator running on the PSP was actually Bochs, thanks to everyone who corrected me on this) with its 24MB of Ram, and the minimum RAM requirements for Windows 95 is 4MB. Windows 95 used to run on the PSP ( through dosbox again. Some people have claimed this could be because of lack of RAM on the O3DS: these claims are complete BS. People have mentioned that the Dosbox port used here does not run on the O3DS, only on he N3DS. Nonetheless, this is great to see such boiling activity on the 3DS scene. It’s also likely that the layers of emulation involved here could mean no game will ever be playable through this. Anybody who’s old enough to have used windows 95 though will remember that most games from this era actually ran on DOS itself rather than Windows 95. But once things are shaping up and a proper on-screen-keyboard is added to the build, this could be used to run old windows 95 games.
The port takes a while to start for now and doesn’t do let you do much for now.
