ami1 237 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 But I thought that win 95 etc can't run on ARM or other non x86 processors ? Only Win CE etc can run on ARM or non x86. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted November 30, 2009 ^^^ for your info Dosbox is an x86 emulator 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ami1 237 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 Ok, missed the dosbox bit. Amazing that they are able to run a virtualized os on such small CPUs. I tried booting linux once on the palm treo 755p with cocoboot but it took a lot of tinkering to just start booting and never really finished booting even after 15 minutes -so i gave up !

::Hitesh:: 1,763 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 I have seen this kind of experiment for 755p on net, some said they are successful. Can u share more info about it so we can give a try, some build dump located here:- http://sleepwalker.hackndev.com/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ami1 237 Report post Posted December 1, 2009 I remember that there was a rootfs image & kernel which i had to copy on my sd card after formatting it and install cocoboot.prc by usual method. Then on clicking on cocoboot in palm apps the phone would reset and restart at which point we had to stop the process and enter a number to specify memory on the boot cmd line. After this the palm continued booting and after some screens of kernel text the screen was blank but flickering at times so i could make out some new text everytime so i guessed boot is progressing. This continued for a long time and i reset the phone 2-3 times and searched some more on the net and essentially gave up. Radio anyway did not seem to be supported, at least at that time (around 6-8months back) so i didn't try any alternative kernels or patches etc. I'll search and upload the kernel/rootfs/cocoboot.prc etc. if there still in my home pc.
