Windows 95 And Linux On PSP

- A coder by the name of Matan has released a Bochs PSP x86 Emulator. Using this both Windows 95 and Linux can be run on your PSP!
- It should be obvious, but this is not going to be running fast. Reports are that Win95 takes about 10 minutes to boot up.
- There is also no keyboard support and the mouse is tricky to move, but it is possible to run games and applications. DOS games, of which there are many now available for free, may have some better performance.
- Bochs is a sourceforge project to emulate the x86 architecture on many platforms. It should be capable of running most Operating Systems, including Linux, DOS and Windows 95/98/NT/2000. Hey, maybe even the new x86 Mac OSX if someone is feeling brave.
