Works Great Win 98 Se.... on PPC

so i have a speedy usabale version of 98 on my ppc... 2-4 minutes to load. Just booted up on 24 megs of ram, no vga virtual display *qvga. My device is HP rw6815, WM5, os modded bi me (The original last update of hp rom from site and tuned, reged and otimised by me).

This is my bochsrc.txt (From root)

megs: 24

display_library: rawout, options="divtwo"

romimage: file="\Storage Card\Bochs\BIOS-bochs-latest"

vgaromimage: file="\Storage Card\Bochs\VGABIOS-lgpl-latest"

ata0-master: type=disk, path="\Storage Card\Bochs\ microwindows.img"

mouse:enabled=0

boot:disk

If u get the low memory changhe the megs (representig emu ram to a lower value EX: 16)

Use the microwindows.img , win 98 posted somewhere here in the forum.

For muose emulation use key mouse install it on the disk image.... (Serch fr bochs comands (make a flopyimage or somthing)) an run it.... (not tested yet).

And use the vga key.

Yeaahh of course ppc brother¡¡¡ Prophet Power¡¡¡

I only runned w98 but think than w95 is similar only bochsrc text file and windows image are diferent...

I used:

Bochs 2.3.5

MSconsole

Windows98 image

Bochsrc text file(write for w98)

Nyditot

Vgakey

You can some files here:

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] lyndel4:
Translation of that site

Its from the http://www.ce4you.cz/forums/view_topic.asp?t=28351

I recommend to have set any hardware button to display the keyboard!

http://www.4shared.com/dir/4570212/fe2ec730/sharing.html

1. Download bochs235.zip, expand the tab to the directory (card) \ Bochs

2. bochsrc.txt download, save to the root directory of the PDA "\"

3. Download nekifajlovi.tgz, expand to the directory (card) \ Bochs (to image Windows)

4. If you have Windows Mobile 2003 and earlier, download pocketconsole.cab, in this case WM5/WM6 download:

http://rapidshare.com/files/92039214/MSCONSOLE.zip.html

in both cases the install to internal memory (not on card)

5. If you have a VGA display, download se_vga_ppc.exe (program to enlarge the work area on the PDA, so the resulting image quality is as QVGA)

If you have a QVGA, download and install Nydot_virtual_display.cab

6. Vgakey.cab Download and install into internal memory

7. Edit the file and change the bochsrc.txt in rows vgaromimage and ata0-master name of your memory card (actually just change the path to the files, but each card pda Names otherwise)

8. Now you increase the resolution (using the VGA se_vga_ppc to QVGA nyditot using virtual display), you need to landscape, 640 × 480

9. Start bochs.exe from the (card) \ Bochs

10. The console write 6 and press enter

11. Turn on the keyboard vgakey if you do not see keys F1 - F12, double click on the button Fn.

12. Click F5 - to stretch the image to full screen

13. Click F12 - switch on the mouse support

14. Wait until the system nabootuje ... (this should take max 5 minutes)

15. The mouse is controlled on the display like the touchpad on the laptop, clicks the middle button on the d-November (right mouse button I nezprovoznil)

16. Remember windows classic start off - off, otherwise you will be after the next startup scandisk bother;)

This is not my upload. Everything is 100% functional tested on FSC PocketLOOX N520. Windows going slow, unusable for normal work, but it is the well machrovat;)

if someone can get the (visual studio?) project of a program like: vmware workstation or virtual machine, or can make a program like that.

he or an other can transform it to windows mobile.

so i want to explane it like: if you can get a project file of vmware workstation you can open it in visual studio and change the platform.

then you can open a win98 image on it.

ISO can be used for mapping as virtual CD drive.

Mouse starts working after pressing (as far as I remember) F5 or F11

For out of memory error: I remembers I was usimg: megs=64

AND I was enabling SWAP in console before actually starting bochs. Set swap to On or Enable and specify some file to be used. This made Out of mem error go away.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amb9800:
I took out the ata0-ata3 lines in my bochsrc.txt (see above), and that got rid of the memory error. But now it loads whatever it needs to and then just pops up a black window that I can move around but which contains nothing-- nothing seems to be happening.
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] N33D FOR SPEED:
Please help??

On my X1 it boots and starts:D but i cant move the mouse!!:confused:

Any help would be appreciated
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] amb9800:
Did you press F12 (to enable the mouse) and F5 (to enable full-screen) once you start (meaning after you press 6 + enter)? (you'll need to install VGAKEY and assign a hardware button to make the keyboard show, then press Fn twice and you'll get the top row of function keys)

What settings (bochsrc.txt, etc.) did you use? Theoretically whatever you did to get it working on an X1 should work on my TP2 as well (they're pretty much identical internally). Right now, I'm just getting a black window that pops up with a title of "Bochs for WinCE."
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schriss:
I think you disabled Hard Disk by doing that :D

EDIT: actually I also don't have any ATA0-3: lines.... just the one that says ata0-master: type=disk and so on
[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] N33D FOR SPEED:
I did press F12 And F5 but to no avail.

And in my bochsrc.txt i edited it so instead of

display_library: win32

romimage: file="\Karta pamiêci\Bochs\BIOS-bochs-latest"

megs: 16

vgaromimage: "\Karta pamiêci\Bochs\VGABIOS-lgpl-latest"

ata0-master: type=disk, path="\Karta pamiêci\Bochs\Win95.img", mode=flat, cylinders=203, heads=16, spt=63

boot: disk

I changed it to display_library: win32

i

megs: 16

[Windows Mobile Apps and Games] schriss:
This happens, you can fix it by using swapfile in Bochs

enable SWAP in console before actually starting bochs. Set swap to On or Enable and specify some file to be used. This made Out of mem error go away. Can put this in bochs.txt so don't have to do that each time.

I think Bochs is most functional but slower.

QEMU is said to be much faster, but I had some problems controlling windows with it, it was faster but not user friendly. (need to be easily possible to single click, doubleclick, tap-hold-and-drag, press ENTER)

What about using ReactOS? It is still Alpha but leagel because it is freeware. As it is open source maybe someone tries to port ReactOS to Xscale instead of using Bochs.

had great fun playing with some stuff

So far I tryed qemu and Bochs on my HD2

on Qemu, with the cirrus driver, Starcraft Bloodwar, Theme Hospital ,Civil 2 are playable, as I wrote in another post the interface is more a problem than the speed,Qemu seems to have some issues accesing the HD file, it does stall while moving and coping files

Bochs works fine again if you setup as cirrus and install the drivers for the virtual card in windows, then I havent manage to get more than 12 mb of ram, so cant compare speed with starcraft, civil 2 is fully playable with the virtual keyboard, speed is good

Im gonna try to make the memory work, i will download the console and try the swap method but dont have a clue of howw to do it to be honest.. then i will run starcraft and see which is faster.

It would be amazing if someone took the time to develop the emus a bit further,even just a more friendly interface for mouse and keyboard would do it,

a bit like how FPSECE is heading

QEMU on PPC

Hi!,

In QEMU's documentation (for windows, not PPC) it can be read that it is 30 times faster than BOCHS.

A developer by the name of Mamaich has worked on QEMU for PPC

Here is the pointer of his website:

h$$$p: // mamaich.uni.cc/fr_pocket.htm

I have not try anything on the website, (no time for fun ... :( these days)

.... by the way, my reason for looking into this is that I have some programs for old windows 3.1 and MSDOS that I would like to carry around in my pocket.

Keep the good work !

Yes, theorically, but it would take ages to boot and you would need a windows xp .img file, not .iso tried to make one, no luck :(. Also, without cirrus drivers, even Prince of Persia won't work! I have tried both Bochs and Qemu, Qemu is way better and faster, but controls are really wacky, we definately need some touchscreen drivers for it not to act as a trackpad. Specially designed qemu version for Heroes of Might and Magic 2 works perfectly, controls are great, all drivers in place, but I can't seem to find a way to put them to normal win95/98.

With today's hardware environment, I thought this thread would be old news. I still dont see why we shouldnt port a tablet OS, its optimised for touchscreen anyway. The harddrives are big enough, the CPUs are fast enough, I dont get it.

On the other hand, HTC always had the Athena, which was basically a tablet with a keyboard, in today's terms. We should be porting the Athena ROM.
