Win95 Emulator?

[1magus]

I remember a while back someone wrote a emulator of Windows 95 that ran on the PSP. It was slow and practically useless but still, I was wondering if it would be possible to write one to run on Pandora to play games that require Win95? Somehow I doubt the answer will be yes but still thought I'd ask.
Example: Windows 95

But can they be used to run games on Pandora Hardware?

Yes, if you don't mind them being unplayably slow.

Even low end 2D games like Magic the Gathering?

 

[Vlynndar]

Magic the Gathering. Are you going to use the Pandora to emulate a card game?

 

[Mr B]

Why not. Magic: The gathering is a very addictive card game, even on the computer.
B!

I imagine the interface will just be so choppy and unresponsive and each turn would take an unbelievable amount of time. Probably would not be fun.

for MTG why not just get someone to write a "look alike" version for Pandora, card games are pretty easy to code for, something not unlike MTG wouldn't take long, maybe put out a request?, I realise the actual MTG is copyright Wizards of the coast, but similar games could be made easily, maybe with a card editor to encourage a community to grow around it?

in fact, if it wasn't for all the other irons I have in the fire, I would consider making a collectible cards battle game myself, I can see all types of possibilities, especially with online play/card verification/upgrade etc.

 

[1magus]

MTG MicroProse was a very interesting game, all though the AI can cheat due to some bugs it also had a cool campaign for the time where you can defeat other wizards and earn cards on you're own, rather than building the deck from scratch with a list of ALL available cards.
It would be awesome to write a Shandalar clone for Pandora but that would be quite a bit of work.

I remember this game, it spawned the stupid side quests in Japanese RPGs.

I'm the chosen hero that is out to save the world, one born out of a billion people in the last 100 years. I fight monsters that have returned to the planet that are 100 times my size and must protect some ancient tree or all existence will collapse and on top of this I have to save the kings daughter. And look, I collect kids cards along the way!!!!

Or marbles, or child porn, or whatever the game had.

I had friends that played this game that really liked it but I had the physical cards so I never got into it. It was made in 1997 and is pretty simple as far as graphics go. You'll just have to wait and see but I wouldn't pre-order the Pandora in hopes that this will be emulated though.

Why not play the PSX one? I found a link, but it has a ROM download on it on it so I'll copy the pics instead of breaking the forum rules.

not sure if this is anything like the win95 one, or the real card game, but it will definitely run on the Pandora!

PLEASE PLEASE Tell me you are joking if not seek medical attention HURRY!
You actually think that this game spawned side quests in JRPGs that MTG from MicroProse was the beginning of side quests? I know for a Fact JRPGs had Side quests before this. And whats wrong with Sidequests?
Come to think of it..... WHATS WRONG WITH ANYTHING!

Down, Tyler. He was just making an observation.

I wouldn't mind a Win95 emulator myself, actually.

 

[DutchMojo]

I just have to post now, I'm a big magic nerd. Any magic software on the pandora would be awesome.
There is a program that i know of that could be ported without the need for win95 emulation.

It's opensource, written in Qt and would be super sweet if playable on the pandora.

Huh! I came here to post about Apprentice, but this looks even better! Can't believe I've never heard of it.

Re the Sidequests: exodus may just mean the card-game-related ones, like in FFIX.

Wow, I had no idea that the Wizards of the Coast were Timelords.
