Windows 95/Linux running on PSP

Win95PSPScreen shots show Windows 95 running on a PSP using Boch x86 emulator. I am not sure if I believe this one, I need to see it in action first. But this guy claims to be running Windows 95 on his PSP.

Yes, it’s true. I’ve managed to run Windows 95 and Linux on the PSP. I’ve done it by porting the excellent open source x86 emulator Bochs.

Windows 95 actually runs quite well but don’t expect it to be a speed demon. It takes about 10 minutes to boot but afterwards it’s pretty usable. I was able to do things like: open “My computer” and browse the virtual hard drive, complete a whole game of Minesweeper and run various other applications. Now you too can get your Minesweeper fix on the go :)

Site includes instructions for getting Windows 95 and DLX Linux running on your PSP.
