Windows 95 on the HTC HD2

A bit more real than our last video, the above demo shows a pretty functional Windows 95 running in VGA mode on the Qemu processor emulator.

The 1 Ghz processor clearly makes quite a difference, with the desktop OS running fast enough to even play games such as Starcraft on.

Read more on the process of getting this emulator to run on your HTC HD2 in this XDA-Dev thread here.

    That video was really annoying to watch because the person kept trying to make the mouse click while they were tapping on the onscreen keyboard! arrrrgh! how stupid can you be? Then they move the keyboard and they keep trying to make the mouse click by tapping the keyboard….didn't they realize the keyboard is responding to their taps because they are on the keyboard.
