Damn, that's like 550MB smaller than the IMG file I got from the FreeBSD website :P

Thanks man, I'll give that one a shot right now!
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Make sure you change your bochsrc.txt back to img. Have you been using images from the links in the OP?
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
Yep. I've changed it from img to iso depending on what I'm trying to install. I got Debian from the OP installed, but it was just a shell command interface, bawring. I got Red Hat installed, but it wanted a user/pass and everything I tried didn't work. The other ones seemed like they weren't going to have much of a user interface like Ubuntu, so I skipped them.

I tried Android x86 ISOs and Windows ISOs, all of which failed to install with kernel errors or just crashed on startup.

The only successful one I've done is Debian which didn't have much going on. So I'm gonna try this version of FreeBSD now.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Wait, you know what freeBSD is, right?
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
Never used it, but I'm about to find out. I'm assuming it's a linux distro.

Yeah lol, this brought me to a "You have new mail. #" command terminal. I don't know what to do from here, as the only Linux I've used is Xubuntu. I want to get an OS installed with a desktop :(
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Well, it's UNIX based, and it's just kind of a command line, so if you want more, you'll have to do some work, or choose something different.
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
Yeah I'm basically ready to give up. I've tried like 20+ ISO/IMG's now from Windows to Linux to Android. The only two I got working are Debian and the FreeBSD you linked. But I want to get a desktop action, like Ubuntu or Windows. None of them are working so I'm calling it a night :X
[Android Software Development] Juanito216:
Can anyone show me exactly which parts of the bochsrc.txt file to change to .iso?
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
ata0-master: type=disk, path="c.img"

Change c.img to c.iso, depending on what you are trying to install.
[Android Software Development] junoty:
Hey- can someone plz pm me a c.img either windows 98 or xp? Would be greatly appreciated
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Same here.
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
Me also please.
[Android Software Development] imperiallight:
Excellent, found a 191mb image on the bochs 4pda thread that worked.

Loaded in about 10 mins and its pretty zippy IMO compared to what I expected.

I replaced the bochs text with:

NB After XP loads...

Change mouse pointer speed and double click to maximum

Change windows setting to performance

Using higher RAM values seems to make the system more unstable
[Android Software Development] junoty:
Hey- got it up and running but the mouse is misaligned. Wherever i click it shows the mouse at a different point. Even when i connect a mouse to my tablet and i click the mouse goes to a different place. any idea?
[Android Software Development] imperiallight:
You can try the control panel but its perfectly aligned on my Xperia play.
[Android Software Development] Juanito216:
Thanks, couldn't get an iso(Puppy Linux) to work but I did get a Debian image working on my Nexus S 4G. If I could get a Distro working with a full desktop.
[Android Software Development] Alexsandra:
I have a question for guys who have already run win9x os on your smartphone. What you can do on such a small screen(4.3 inch 16:9)??? Or you guys just think this is funny.......
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
If I could get it running, I have a 9.7" Tablet that's running Debian and FreeBSD. So Windows would look quite nice on it I'd think :)

EDIT: Got WinXP running thanks to Imperial, you rock man. Just need to figure out how to install programs, because this version I have is massively stripped down but it runs on the tab, bahaha this is funny as hell!

I found a website that explains how to make a disk IMG. I have used this on an installation of windows XP in VBox and tried booting this on my kindle fire via bochs but it BSOD and rebooted (windows not the kindle it self)

w w w (dot) howtogeek.com/howto/19446/make-a-drive-image-using-an-ubuntu-live-cd/
[Android Software Development] acb123:
Next time I will try it on a Onda tablet to see if this work, no more small screen problem :p

---------- Post added at 07:52 AM ---------- Previous post was at 07:51 AM ----------

Just use Qemu and it's OK, here is the only command line to make a IMG.

http://en.wikibooks.org/wiki/QEMU/Images#Creating_an_image
[Android Software Development] JhunH:
have 2 questions, tryied on my motorola xoom with android 4.0.3

Bochs close when i try to run it.

is it need to be a rooted device?

is it work on icecream sandwich?

thanks
[Android Software Development] robreefer:
I can't seem to get this to work right with win XP. I followed all the steps, and when I run Bosch, it gets to where it should start to boot the image, then the app just closes. I made both an XP IMG and ISO from my own CD.

Any thoughts?

I'm running a Hp Touchpad with AOKP ICS
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Do you have an iso or an img? Did you change the bochsrc if it's an iso?
[Android Software Development] robreefer:
I tried both a .img and a .iso that i made from an sp2 cd I have. And yes, when I used the ISO, I changed the bochsrc to iso.

Edit: I tried a downloaded copy and it works!
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
DM me for an image (from imperial) and change your bochsrc to what is above.
[Android Software Development] robreefer:
I got it to work bud, thank you for your help!
[Android Software Development] HDD_x8:
If size is your problem, the EVO 3d supports hdmi out, both bochs and qemu worked on my 50 inch TV. Big enough for you? ;)
[Android Software Development] awwilson21:
I can't get this to work, I have everything in the proper folders, but as soon as I start bochs it hangs for a second, then closes.

I used the win95.img. Any help would be appreciated? Maybe, my image is no good.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Where did you get your img from?
[Android Software Development] awwilson21:
I searched w95.img and dl'ed the first one. It said it was posted by a mobile forum... When I used my own win95 VM from my PC it made it to the "Booting from j" or whatever text, but seemed to hang forever, the win95.img seems to boot me instantly.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Well that img might just be the boot, and nothing else, I got one of those and it would not work. Do you want 95, or would you like xp?
[Android Software Development] awwilson21:
I need 95 in my life. LOL.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Hmm, see if you can get an iso, then change the bochsrc.txt to

megs: 384
cpu: count=1, ips=6000000, reset_on_triple_fault=1, ignore_bad_msrs=1
# filename of ROM images
romimage: file=BIOS-bochs-latest
vgaromimage: file=VGABIOS-lgpl-latest

ata0-master: type=disk, path="c.img"
#ata0-slave: type=disk, path="d.img"
#ata1-master: type=disk, mode=vvfat, path=/sdcard/HDD, journal=vvfat.redolog
#type=cdrom, path="CD.ISO", status=inserted

log: bochsout.txt
sb16: enabled=1
mouse: enabled=1
sb16: wavemode=1, dmatimer=500000
clock: sync=none, time0=1

and see if you could get it to work. (Also, if it works, send me the link to the win95 img/iso, I'd really enjoy having 95 :P)
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
Anyone manage to get any of the Android x86 ISO's to load up?
[Android Software Development] awwilson21:
Works perfect dude, thanks!!!!
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Oooh, where'd you get the image? (I've spent lots of time searching, with no luck)

---------- Post added at 01:00 PM ---------- Previous post was at 12:17 PM ----------

It says "This kernel requires the following features not present on the CPU: cmov" that's all I can get.

And with Win95 I need to install disk to actually do anything, like "the internet"

Edit: I found this website which has old versions of many different things, and it's legitimate (so far) http://winworldpc.com/
[Android Software Development] Hichter:
Excelent! Runs pretty smooth on atrix vivo branded Brasil, alas I have no sound, trying to figure it out.

In the meantime, installing a fresh XP on bochs pc to try on phone later.

Nice work, many thx!
[Android Software Development] daybis13:
I'm stuck on "Booting for Hard Disk" and it shows me an A: floppy disk blinking at the top of the screen. It's stuck on this screen for a while. Maybe I got the code wrong or something? I'm trying to boot up XP ISO file. I tried changing the text to reflect it, but maybe somewhere I got it wrong. I've been looking for somewhere in the thread to see if anyone else had this problem, but I couldn't find anything.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
I DM'd you.
[Android Software Development] daybis13:
Thanks! That was fast
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
What do I name a file that I want to be seen as a CD in the OS?
[Android Software Development] maraca:
work on ISC 4?, anyone . in my xoom force close app
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Yes ICS 4.0.3 on Galaxy Nexus.
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
Works fine on my phone running 4.0.3/CM9 beta.

Are you sure you have your files in the correct places and a working img/iso? If not the application will force close automatically.
[Android Software Development] ycavan:
Does anyone have issues w/ the Escape key? I'm running fdisk on 512 meg disk image but whenever i press ESC, bochs pauses and when I resume, it reboots the system.

I guess I'm asking if there's some way to prevent bochs from pausing when ESC is pressed.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
What OS are you using?
[Android Software Development] ycavan:
Running win95 osr2. Everything else works... ips 7000000, video update 30, sb16 dma 100000. Runs win95 really quickly w/ audio.

Was trying to see if we could just use dd to make a new disk image, mount it and partition it in the guest os.

Fdisk finds the unpartitioned flat file fine, but when I press esc, bochs quits/pauses. Using hacker's keyboard for a more pc like keyboard.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Spent all night working on networking for windows 95, I think I can do it, but it will take time. I need to find every single driver file for it, and for anything else.
[Android Software Development] maraca:
Hi dbay, all files is in SDCARD, need put en .txt /sdcard/c.img ???
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
Should be:

SDCARD/SDL/bochstxt.

SDCARD/SDL/c.img/iso

The other two files go into the SDL folder too :)
[Android Software Development] milestone97:
It would be very helpful if it was native...
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Two questions 1. Do you have internet working? 2. Why are you trying to partition an img? If you need storage, uncomment

#ata1-master: type=disk, mode=vvfat, path=/sdcard/HDD, journal=vvfat.redolog

and then you should be able to put anything in there.
[Android Software Development] ycavan:
I already use vvfat for storage. :) I'm trying to see how well the guest os runs w/ bochs. Right now, I'm kinda dumbfounded that pressing ESC on hacker's kb takes you out of the emulator.

RE: Networking

Haven't done much w/ it yet. It should be pretty simple, actually. According to the bochs docs, we should just be able to add ne2k to the list of pci devices and match the ne2k device to the real network interface. ie, when you type in $ifconfig on the atrix, you should get something like:

lo ( localhost ) & ppp0.

typing $route, you would see the default gateway is through ppp0, so ppp0 would be the network interface.

so.. the bochsrc entries would be like:

pci: enabled=1, chipset=i440fx, slot1=cirrus, slot2=ne2k

ne2k: ioaddr=0x300, irq=9, mac=b0:c4:20:00:00:00, ethmod=linux, ethdev=ppp0

the mac address MUST not match any other mac address on the internet. Pretty much make stuff up there starting w/ b0:c4:20 to be safe.

I'll try this in a bit, actually. :)
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
I'm working on it for windows 95, which seems to require more work with drivers etc.
[Android Software Development] jongjong:
This is great! could anyone please confirm if internet data plan or wi-fi working using windows xp? thanks very much!
[Android Software Development] ycavan:
I wonder if networking was not compiled into this version of bochs. Whenever I put in ethmod, for the way bochs interacts with the host, bochs just crashes without making a bochsout file for debugging.

I do see that linux required root to connect to the ethernet device... Mebbe bochs should have root privs?
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
No, sorry. I'm working on it though.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
I'll see if there's a way to force root privileges.
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
I'm still hoping someone can figure out how to get one of the Android x86 Ice Cream Sandwich ISOs working :(

That or figure out how to get 95/98/XP with working internet.
[Android Software Development] :
...

how to create a .img file out of a .vhd file...?
[Android Software Development] ycavan:
I would make a new disk image for bochs. Format /s to make it boot.

Get winimage.

Open up vhd in winimage. Copy all files to a temp folder. Delete command.com from the temp folder. (new bochs image will already have command.com). Close vhd.

Open bochs image with winimage. Copy files from temp folder into bochs image.

See if that works for you.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Get winiso - http://www.winiso.com/ mount the VHD (if on windows 7) right click on computer in the start menu, and go to manage. Click on 'Disk Management' on the left. On the right, click 'More Actions' then 'Attach VHD'. Go to Windows Explorer and right click on the drive it mounted as, then 'Create ISO Image File' go to wherever you want to save it, and save as c.img.

Edit: Do you think I should make a separate post for instructions how to do this, and any work that I do with the internet?
[Android Software Development] HDD_x8:
Would be nice if you could PM mnomaanw and if he updates the first post with your details.

If he does not respond and you decide to start a new thread, please include the basic instructions as well, not just the addon info.
[Android Software Development] razgriz8426:
Alright I searched for this, just to make sure I wasn't missing something, but why can't windows 7 work on this? or even the developers preview if Win 8? is it just too cumbersome? I'm on my Prime and wouldn't mind trying it, if I'm not missing something here.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
You could try, but a stripped down version of XP runs horrendously slow on my Galaxy Nexus, I don't think it has the power, through an app.
[Android Software Development] mnomaanw:
OP updated......and instruction posted on second post. All credits to chessmaster W/nook for PMing me those instructions.
[Android Software Development] Cogentjin:
This is very awesome. I have a question for anyone who gets the HDD mount to work. ...How did you do it? I admit I'm not the fastest when it came to figuring out how to get XP to run but it never read my HDD folder. I replaced the txt file in the OP, even tried doing a different folder altogether. Whenever everything matches up in my 'txt file/SD card folders' and I load Windows (any windows, 95, 98, or XP) it never shows up under My Computer. It did one time for XP, but then went away by the next restart. Do I need drivers or something like that?

...By the way thanks to everyone giving out some info in this whole thread, it's very helpful, so thanks!
[Android Software Development] mnomaanw:
Download the bochsrc.txt again and replace your current one. Then create a folder called"HDD" on root of sdcard. Then put ant file in the HDD folder...then boot windows. Open my computer. Try to open different drives until you see the file that you placed in HDD folder.

that drive is nothing but HDD folder which us mounted .

hope this helps.......
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
I had to uncomment the line in the bochsrc.txt file for the HDD folder.
[Android Software Development] ycavan:
Still no networking on my part. I did install the old jaunty armel bochs 2.37 and that starts up fine with ethmod = linux when I run it as root. The only problem is that build crashes when booting win95.

On another note, I was able to start up broodwars. Copied the starcraft folder to my HDD directory and loaded my broodwars.iso @ boot. Downside? It loads very slowly. I didn't have the patience to get into any campaigns, but I was able to select a campaign race. :)

Anyone have any clues on a good port of qemu?
[Android Software Development] mnomaanw:
The bochsrc.txt in OP should now work.

Replace it with current one and Put files in sdcard/HDD. It shhould appear as a new drive in My Computer
[Android Software Development] chraso:
hi there

can u please teach me how to run a live cd and set diff resolutions?
[Android Software Development] Cogentjin:
Unfortunately I have done everything asked. Here's 3 pictures if anyone cares to look for my setup. Seems like the HDD folder just does not want to show up. I've also tried switching from 95 to XP, then from XP to 98 and the folder never shows up. I've deleted everything in the folder and put brand new files back in. But nope. Anyway, http://imgur.com/a/D2kN9 I bet I'm missing something that will make me look totally stupid but I don't mind because I'd like this to work, lol.
[Android Software Development] mnomaanw:
Are you using bochs apk or QEMU?

You should use this to get bochsrc.txt working

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=814993&d=1323778011
[Android Software Development] Cogentjin:
Oh yes I use bochs, the only reason Qemu stuff is in there is because I tried both, just in case. Neither worked and thanks for the link and everything to the 2.5.1, but that's what I was using (the apk, I mean).
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Resolution is inside the OS. What type of live CD are you trying to run?
[Android Software Development] chraso:
fedora lxde live cd

can't i fix a the resolution from bios?
[Android Software Development] itsthafame:
Cam ANYONE PM me know a Windows XP img that works with this please??
[Android Software Development] chraso:
u can build ur own by using virtualbox & a vhd image:)
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
If anyone is interested, I found a Win 98SE image, just Google 'Windows 95 bochs' choose the filecrop link (a few down) and it's on that page.

Edit: Also, I'd recommend defragmenting your C drive.
[Android Software Development] hrhgilby:
98 works great on the Xoom.

Not sure how to use an ISO file though.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Edit the bochsrc.txt file to c.iso instead of c.img.
[Android Software Development] hrhgilby:
Tried that with an xp.ISO but didn't work.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Where did you get the iso? If it's just an image of the install disk than I don't think it will work.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Also, for anyone on Win95/98 (not sure about xp) you have to delete 'recycled' and the cfg file off of /HDD to make it boot, not sure why.
[Android Software Development] hrhgilby:
Its an ISO of a live CD version of xp I found

Thanks for the advice about deleting recycled, was wondering why my 95 wouldn't boot after 98 was working.
[Android Software Development] dbaybay:
I've fallen behind on this thread a bit, can anyone tell me if -

1) Anyone has figured out internet access on one of the IMGs/ISOs? If so, how?

2) Anyone get the Android x86 ISOs working yet?

Thanks :D
[Android Software Development] w0rdOo:
I followed all instructions on creating an iso from a VHD. I made it to where the VHD is mounted as a hard drive, but there is no option for "create iso image file." Also, the free version of winiso seems pretty limited, do we need to pay $30 for the full version to be able to create an iso from a VHD?
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
No, you just need the free version. I think I forgot to include, right click on the drive?
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Still trying and nope.
[Android Software Development] Hichter:
A great addition to use with bochs is the hacker's keyboard disponible on market.

For those like me that misses arrows and function keys.
[Android Software Development] Marche90:
As the guy a few post above me said, the option in the Windows Explorer to "Create an ISO" from the attached VHD doesn't come, even after installing the full version of WinISO. Do you need to manually activate the Explorer integration or are we missing another program to create it?

Any other way to create the ISO or IMG from the VHD, in the worst case scenario? Tried using ImgBurn but the resulting c.img wasn't bootable.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Sorry, I forgot to include that you have to right click on the drive, that's the important part :P
[Android Software Development] Marche90:
Right-clicking the VHD drive, G: in this case, after it has been attached in the windows explorer.

I'm guessing that the option to convert to iso should be in there, right? I wonder what am I doing wrong...
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
I'm not sure, I clicked from the bar on the side (laziness :P) and it worked. If not, see if you can copy all of that to a folder, then convert to iso should be there.

Edit: Seems to work for me - http://dl.dropbox.com/u/45211804/ISOfile.png - Do you have 'Create ISO image file' anywhere else?

Edit2: Interesting, I had some other program installed on my computer (I have no recollection of ever installing it) and it seems to be what you need instead, sorry! http://alexfeinman.com/isorecorder.htm You don't *need* winiso anymore, but it's still a goodish program to have.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
For network, and other stuff, here's info on the bochrc, that may help with it. http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook/user/bochsrc.html
[Android Software Development] Coccijoe:
Hi, new here, first thanks for this nice app, i succefully install it and run win95 and 98 on my netbook 7" wm8650. Since i don't have touchscreen i use an external usb mouse, but on win95 and 98 i need to hold mouse button to move the cursor mouse (i don't know if it's understable sorry english is not my native language). Any idea to help to fix this? Thanks
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Hi, welcome! I'm not sure how that netbook takes mouse input as, because this is set up to use the volume buttons you would have to edit the bochsrc.txt file (I think) to take that input as the mouse.
[Android Software Development] chessmaster W/nook:
Many if you might remember that I was working on getting the Internet working in Bochs. My work has hit a slow point, but as you can see, minesweeper is a good waste of time when you think that you have an idea to get it to work.
[Android Software Development] breakingspell:
I want to report my success in getting this to run on my HP Touchpad running CM9 Alpha 0.6. It seems to crash whenever i define a CD-ROM in bochsrc.txt, but oh well, i made myself a 95 image using my dad's old OEM disc and Bochs for PC.

Of course, network and sound do not work, and it seems to only be able to display in 16 colors, but i'm satisfied just having it run.
