[How-To] Run Windows 3.1 or Windows 95 on iPhone/iTouch

March 22nd, 2010 admin

Not only will you be able to run Windows 95, but also Windows 3.1. The whole emulator uses the Bochs cross platform IA-32 emulator. It was ported over to the iPhone by the guys over at GooDiPhone.com. Be advised that the emulator is quite slow. While Windows 3.1 will boot up considerably faster than Windows 95 (and is faster than Windows 95), it is also rather slow. Wanna try it out? Let’s get started!

You’ll need a few things before hand:

  1. A jailbroken iPhone/iPod Touch.
  2. MobileTerminal installed on the device.
  3. A copy of “bochs.deb”, which you can download from the following mirrors:

MultiUpload (Direct)

Rapidshare

MegaUpload

Deposit Files

Hotfile

zshare

Uploading

Once you have those things, follow these instructions:

  1. Transfer “bochs.deb” to /private/var/mobile.
  2. Run MobileTerminal on your iPhone.
  3. Type in the following:
  4. su
  5. alpine
  6. dpkg -i bochs.deb
  7. It will then install everything for you. Do this command to exit out of Terminal:
  8. killall Terminal
  9. Do a respring and you should notice “Bochs” on your homescreen. Start it up.

Enjoy Windows 3.1 & Windows 95 on your iPhone or iPod Touch, despite how slow it may be!

    it doesn't seem to work.
    I get the following error:

    dpkg: error processing bochs.deb (–install):
    cannot access archive. No such file or directory.
    Errors were encountered while processing: bochs.deb

    I followed all the steps to a T.
