Hi thanks, for your reply,

I use second link of the first post (sdlapps aka qemu i think?), bochs don't run on my netbook (memory problem iirc)

so i don't have and need bochsrc.txt

I read somewhere that it exist a conf file for it, if anybody can show me an exemple that should help, thanks.

To get more than 16 color and higher resolution, install a video card driver, think that I used this one:

http://download.cnet.com/Cirrus-Log...VPM-v1-12/3000-2108_4-154505.html?tag=mncol;7

Download and put it in the HDD folder, you may need to unzip it or get an old winzip for your Win95 to unzip it inside of windows, which I did.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
I think I might put together a ZIP of drivers etc for 95/98 for this.

i am trying to do this on my Motorola xoom 4G, running android 3.2.6, I downloaded and installed all the files, including the modified bocs.txt, and am trying to boot a Linux rom from the bocs site, when I open the app per step 4, the app flashes on screen for a fraction of a second, then closes. A.) Any idea how to fix it, and b.) Although not stated, do i need root access to run this?

Edit: also tried Windows XP iso... same thing. i had to create a SDL folder manually, and i do not have an HDD folder.

xoom

i am xoom user too, i use ics. and i see the prog running.

i'm very excited seeing this running on other android.

i will try this and hope winxp will work on my xoom.

is there any tutorial about winxp on what page.

should i install bochs on windows? and make the image right there?

i have installed windows xp professional (without service pack) and openoffice 3. it's slow but work :).
[Android Software Development] ArthurIn3D:
Do you have gsm or cdma? and also, how exactly did you do it. ok, i have a folder called sdl with all of the files in it on the root of my sd card. i have c.iso(which is an image of a winxp professional disc) there, and i changed it in the bochsrc.txt from c.img to c.iso. i run the app. it says a little bit of info, what bios are available, and then says press f12 for boot menu. and then it crashes.
[Android Software Development] Kevin Kimo:
I don't know why, but it keeps on turning itself off without any error message at the moment i turn it on...I'm trying to run Windows95. I do have a image file and I also put it in the SDL folder, as I am told.

What's the reason for this problem? I'm using bochs
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Try and find a bootable img on the internet or DM 'someone' ;) and ask for it ;)

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:17 PM ----------

It's because you are using an install disk, which won't work, you need a bootable img. Ask 'someone' in a DM for an image ;)

---------- Post added at 03:18 PM ---------- Previous post was at 03:18 PM ----------

It could be the img, what device?
[Android Software Development] Kevin Kimo:
well, it works fine on libSDL, that means it's bootable img file. the only thing is that i cannot make the keyboard to pops up on my screen. I just want it to be run on bochs, so i can use the keyboard. Anyway, my device is called Vega n5.
[Android Software Development] mnomaanw:
Hold the touch sensitive "Menu" key to make the keyboard pop-up, it works in any app :D

do i require root

hello all i am new to xda so plz help me i was unable to understand that put in u r sd card root folder

do i requre root? for this

i have my self made sld folder and conveeted iso to img

now when i open app it just go black and then come back to my menu

i am using galaxy s 2 i have internal memory too

so whare should i put those files in my sd card or in my usb srotage

plz replyy......

as i am new so i dont know how stuff works

plz guys help me doing this plz

itz req....
[Android Software Development] ArthurIn3D:
im a noob too,

but i dont write so that my eyes hurt either. please use better spelling and grammar. but basically you download sdl.zip and then unzip it to your root on the sdcard. make sure your img is bootable, i made that mistake too. if you have a good img then it will work. but you have to download the sdl.zip attached in the original post. which os are you trying to use?
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
No root is required, yes please use better Grammar. SD card is the same as USB storage. I use bochs, but the sdl seems to work too, but I can't confirm it. So do what he said.
[Android Software Development] pooja.sharama:
not works

thanks guys u did resppnd.

now next is that

i downloaded sld.zip file

and unpacked it in sld folder made by me

now it not works i have also put c.img

no work can any on tell how will it work

batter chat ..
[Android Software Development] Kevin Kimo:
Thank you for your reply. Now, I'm trying to make a folder named 'HDD' so I can use it as a drive. However, I don't get the part where it says "Use the attached bochsrc.txt to use a folder called "HDD" on your sdcard as a drive in windows".

How do I use bochsrc.txt to use the HDD folder as a drive? I cannot find it anywhere on windows explorer...

By the way, could you please tell me how to connect to the internet with windows in android?
[Android Software Development] mnomaanw:
In the OP I have attached the SDL folder whch already contains a bochsrc.txt, but that text file does not allow you to use your own files, so i attached a slightly modified bochsrc.txt too , if you replace your current bochsrc.txt with the one attached , you can use your files/softwares by putting them in HDD folder on root of SDcard.When you boot Windows, then in "My Computer" you will see "d" drive which will have those files that you kept in HDD folder.

Hope this helps.....

NOTE: HDD folder have to be created manually.

You have to use bochs emulator to get bochsrc.txt working, it doesnot work with QEMU.

EDIT: OP updated , check again.
[Android Software Development] Kevin Kimo:
Thanks, it helped a lot.
[Android Software Development] Kevin Kimo:
Can anyone please help me with turnning on the application bochs?

It still keeps on turning itself off at the moment I turn it on.

I tested on the phone model vega n5 and galaxy s2...

Right before it turns itself off, the black screen with some letters appears just for a few sec and it returns to my applications screen...

I just want to inform you that the version of my android is 2.3.3.
[Android Software Development] ArthurIn3D:
Ok, so you need to have the sdl.zip folder extracted to the root of your sd. Then put in a bootable .img file(it has to be bootable!!!) And then it should work. If it. Says some info and then crashes your file is not bootable. Which os are you trying to use? If its xp or 95 you can pm me.
[Android Software Development] Kevin Kimo:
I did follow all steps correctly. I extracted the SDL.zip file to sdcard/SDL. And I also checked that my img file is bootable.What else do I have to do? I'm trying to run win95
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Sorry, no internet yet, I might have time this weekend to try to work on it again.
[Android Software Development] Kevin Kimo:
Hello, I still cannot find a way to run bochs. I was told by someone to put SDL folder into the root of my phone memory. Where do I find root of my phone memory? Also, I have an img file that works properly on Qemu, but I want it to run on bochs too, since bochs allows me to access drive D.

Lastly, can bluetooth keyboard and mouse work on both Qemu and Bochs?
[Android Software Development] bmaggot:
I get .iso file (one that should be later renamed to c.img) sized at 1.37 megabytes while saving winxp vhd by clicking Create ISO image file.

What the hell?

win95 makes realistic size img file, but still it does not load on bochs.
[Android Software Development] ArthurIn3D:
when is there going to be internet and sound? the only thing i see with any practical use at all is office, and only 95 is a useable speed.

---------- Post added at 04:59 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:26 PM ----------

Ok just put sdl on the root of the sd ok? Good. Did you mean a bluetooth keyboard and mouse for a cimputer or special for android? Computer no, android maybe. Hope it helped.

---------- Post added at 05:04 PM ---------- Previous post was at 04:59 PM ----------

Use better grammar please, i can barely understand you. 1.3 mb for wincp or 95 is too small that is not a real file. Pm for a winxp or win95 img ok? Your welcome.

Also, im in my phone and accidently thanked him, how do i remove thanks?

[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
I think that it is a bochs problem, but are you sure starcraft supports Win 95? If not I put instructions somewhere in this thread on how to find a Win98SE. You could also, depending on what phone you have, run ubuntu and use wine.

[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
I'd assume so, you'd just need a bootable image for your OS of choice. ARM is the type of processor that all Android runs on (besides the Intel ones coming out soon), so you won't have any issues.

How do I edit the bochsrc.txt for xp?...what do I edit or do you have a bochsrc.txt that you'll upload?

Thanks
[Android Software Development] mnomaanw:
It depends on how mch ram do you want to provide to the virtual machine.

edit "# how much memory the emulated machine will have

megs: 128" to any other number to provide more ram.

you can edit "#ata1-master: type=disk, mode=vvfat, path=/sdcard/HDD" line to "ara0-slave: <rest is same>" (dont forget to remove #) to make the "my computer" in windows to show your sdcard/HDD/ folder as a drive.

Note: Not every diskimage works. My XP SP2.img is 395mb only. Also XP lags as hell. Try windows 95.img made for QEMU or BOCHS and rename it c.img and pt it in SDL directory on sdcard.

Win 95 works super smooth. Other images might lag. Win 98 lags a lil bit.

there are videos on youtube also. search "win xp on android" or something

I am using Android 3.2 on a Motorola Xoom.

I used the SDLapp.apk and the Windows 95 c.img that came with the package. Works perfectly. But how do I add a new Windows program inside the img file? I tried opening it with Winiso and others but I can't see what's inside.

What I want to do is install a Portable windows program that I can't live without! doesn't need to be installed - just added inside a folder - no other system files required. So basically I want to do is add a new folder inside the Windows 95 img. Is that possible?
