    Question Windows on PSP

    I heard about running Linux or Windows on a PSP. I was wondering if anyone has
    ever heard about that.

    You can run windows 95 and 98 on the PSP using an emulator called BOCHS. This has been ported from the computer and is very slow to load. Seting up windows 95 or 98 to run takes alot of effort and knowledge. Its takes around 40 minutes to get windows 98 to load, and once loaded is very slow.

    There a couple of video of bochs running windows 95 on the psp here and here

    As for linux, there is someone working on running linux on the psp. You can find out about that here.

    I think there is way to run old version of Mac OS 7 on the psp, but its likely to be just as slow as running Windows 95 and 98.

    Do you ever think you might be taking things just a little bit too seriously?

    It works but you there is very little you can do with it. You can play minesweepers (Just about), and I doubt you'd be able to get any other programs to run.
