[wraggster]

A french quartet of young coders (http://gamefirst.tk/) have released WintenDos, heres the translated info:


WintenDoS is a Homebrew for Nintendo DS developed by 4 enthusiasts 14-15 years. It incorporates the principles of windows XP on DS, and will allow guests to use as Internet Explorer logitiel for DS, or PC.Attention games, it is not possible to run simple programs. Exe edited to windows. The programs will come from WintenDoS updates from us after we have some software adapted to the capabilities of the Nintendo DS.

THE DS HOMEBREW SCENE IS ALIVE!!!!!!!!!!! MWAHAHAHAHA!!!!!!!

ummm... im done now..... <_< >_>
i hope nobody saw me do that.....

this looks pretty cool! im not going to try it out right now, but i definately will later! :thumbup::thumbup:

i will post how well it worked on my m3 when i try it out later.

Well, except for the fact that it appears to be in french it seems to kind of work... Left/right click for the mouse did nothing, start menu wouldn't open, and the time didn't come up.

Its got a buttload of potential! Can't wait to see where it goes.

[masterchief929]

yeah... the french thing kinda needs to be translated! but it looks really good. i had the same problems as Cevius...

[KuroSaru]

well on R4, no clock, l/r mouse buttons dont work, but otherwise seams ok, and hell if this is ever really finished it could be cool :)

There is some idea, but they won't likely be able to run .exe files natively from it. Windows XP usually run on an x86 platform. The Nintendo DS works on an ARM platform, and it will require a lot of processing power to interpret x86 assembly into ARM assembly.

I don't want to discourage them, but they are more likely to achieve something by looking for porting [url=http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_CE]Windows CE [/b], as it was coded specifically for low power/low CPU devices. If I'm not wrong, Windows CE already exist in ARM assembly. Disassembling it and adapt its code to the Nintendo DS platform would be an awesome achievement.

cool but I think I'll sick to this (http://tinyurl.com/274g9p) for now but mabee I can use this browser to complete some adds :thumbup:

[crookedmouth]

Couldn't this just be fake? I hate to be the first to say something but...I don't know.

[m-p{3}]

I have no faith in what they are trying to attempt. The Windows XP kernel just doesn't fit on that kind of system, even if it's much lighter than Vista.

I would rather see Windows CE than a port of XP made by 15 y/o teenagers.

I don't understand what this does, but that's probably because I'm a Mac user. XD

*Agrees with m-p{3}*

Lol, this looks awfully fake, tried it with NO$GBA. :)
If they would really want this to attract people, they should first not make everything into JPG's, it looks horrible. :D

[Steely]

Well, I guess they got a concept.

I don't think they're trying to remake Windows XP, but rather make something that remotely ressembles XP.

Perhaps just a operating system that can play many kinds of files?

:thumbup:
I had the same idea but with Vista
It was called Viafa

viafa => Viafa Is A Fake Application :rofl:

[simonjhall]

I can't get it to do anything... I can move the mouse and bring up the keyb, but *that's it*.

What am I doing wrong? I can't even get it to click...

[mat88]

normal :thumbup: it's all you can do with this homebrew :D
