Use it EXACTLY as you used Matan's original one, only difference is this one boots on newer firmware with access to the slim's ram. You can set any amount of ram in the bxrc file up to 40 (all i have tested, maybe more) but you may be able to go further. You can even see a mouse in the centre of the screen so it is starting to work.=Pīochs 2.2.1 is ported to the psp slim(by me with some help from *** ) (newer kernel). It starts to run (console output over PSPLink) but then dies.

I'm having to fix loads of errors and am currently stumped as to how to fix the next one. It's called a Proof of Concept.ĭecided to make a separate thread because people cant find the stuff in the large one.Ģ.4.5 is being a pain. img file but it is possible to run Windows XP on a PSP (Fat not yet). Maybe it's because I installed it virtually.Download Link Now you can run Windows XP.

I got the RTM Vista to install on 586 processors. And for the 586 situation, I just don't know. I didn't know that you could use another bios other than seabios. The board emulated here is a Chaintech 6ITM, and the CPU was set to bx_generic. I know, the visuals (the EPA logo and that little guy in the corner) are quite screwed, but I can't do anything about that. Here's a photo of Award BIOS running in Bochs. I guess that if you can match the chipset for any motherboard (assuming Bochs x86 supports other chipsets than the usual i430TX and i440FX), you can use any Award (or AMI, but I haven't tested that yet) BIOS image on Bochs.

For example, the Android version I'm running on my phone is set to use a Pentium II CPU, about 64MB of RAM and a Cirrus Logic 5446 PCI GPU, and the BIOS image is from a Soyo SY-6KA motherboard. The last build that can run on a 586 class machine is 5384.įor BOCHS, I'd suggest using Award BIOS, depending on what chipset you use. Ran fine, just without Aero since the GPU didn't support it (Radeon Mobility 7000, 16MB RAM) but otherwise worked fine.Īs for running Vista on a 586 class machine, only if you have ACPI and modify the installer to work with 586 class CPUs. I know this as I have used Vista on a Pentium 3 1.2GHz Dell Inspiron 4100 with 512MB of RAM (mind you it was upgraded from the stock 256MB it originally had). Vista will work relatively fine with a P3 and 512MB RAM on a physical machine too. Interesting, Im currently trying to run Windows Vista on a Pentium 3 with 512MB RAM on Bochs. But seriously, no joke, with both PCem and Bochs, I got the real Windows Vista to work with the Pentium and Pentium MMX. But I tried the same thing on Bochs, and it worked, but I couldn't really rate the system either. Or maybe it's a mistake to do it on a virtual machine, and it doesn't really represent a real Intel Pentium 200 MHz. Maybe that's what people mean by 'Windows Vista only works on 686 CPUs', maybe the 586 CPUs literally cannot run Windows Vista without crashing constantly. And the system always crashed and rebooted.

I tried to rate the system with windows experience index, but it'd crash when trying to work. I wonder what is the last build that supports the original Pentium.īelieve it or not, I actually tried Windows Vista RTM on a Intel Pentium 200 MHz and it ran horrible. 5048 is the first build that requires ACPI, so maybe give that a try too. I wonder how some of the post-reset builds will go. Prior to v15, the farthest you could go was Longhorn 4093 (which I managed to install long ago), and build 3790.1232.
