That being said, it won't.

with bochs running win95 is possible, but it was very very very slow on the gp2x.

 

[frozenflame108]

Ok.

Grim could be possible with a port of Residual (the GrimE ScummVM project)

though I think it still has issues

slow on the gp2x.

gp2x.

 

[Pickle]

is that directed at me or the author?

I know he asking about the Pandora. I guess my point is that its possible to run on Pandora, but probally will be too slow to do much. I just didnt say it.

 

[Cervante]

Ok.

I did a google search on it and yes its still in early development, it needs opengl to run more succesfully then software rendering (which is a good thing) & theres a linux build for it.

[Game_over]

Yeah, at this point "Emualtion" and "Slow" should go hand and hand.

Minimum requirements: Intel Pentium 133 MHz

Not happening.

 

[javaJake]

I know you can't compare processors, but the Pandora's CPU must be at least greater than a 133 MHz x86 processor? Tell me if I'm wrong.

 

[Joshsux]

Wouldn't Win 95 Emulators just be a DOS Emulator? To play stuff that requires Win 95 means it requires Dos, Just use Dosbox?

Porting software that requires a 133Mhz Pentium, or emulating a PC containing a 133Mhz Pentium to run the software? That later isn't going to happen.

 

[javaJake]

Oh, I get it now. Thanks Squidge.

Well maybe if we ask Lucas Arts to release the source ? We'd have to be very persuasive tho.

Please Lucas Arts ? Pretty please ? Pretty please with a sugar on the top ?

 

[conso]

i once ran win95 on a 486 at 50 Mhz, that's not the problem, but what games would run? It wouldn't be worth the effort

grim fandango, Sam and max, Day of the tentacle, Full throttle, all still being sold. I don't think a source of these games will ever be released to be honest with you. Just got that feeling.

 

[Clad]

Hence the need for a pretty please with a sugar on the top.

 

[trooper]

IF windows 95 could be gotten to work, We could boot into windows, Open a dos prompt and run the games from there.

Sorted. :rolleyes:

@ Clad and Josheh, Sam and max, Day of the tentacle, Full throttle and loads of others except Grim fandango are supported in ScummVM. All we need is to ask that great guy DJWills if he is willing to have a go at porting his GP2x port of ScummVM to the pandora.

I hope he is. I need something that can play Sam and Max without speech lag. My Sony clie TH55 is not quite up to the job although it's fine for the other talkies. Loom, Monkey Island 2 etc

 

[JakeK]

Works fine on the F200

I asked about it and they said only if a ScummVM devs gets a hand on a Pandora. Most likely DJWillis.
