Windows is closed source, which mean's that only Microšoft has access to it. This is an emulator, that runs Windows (Slowly).

That wasn't emulating XP, it was (horribly) mislabeled. -_-

Anyway, there were two different things that did that, that I recall. One was a shell that could run homebrew apps, had a file browser, etc and was designed to look likw Windows XP. The other was just a bunch of HTML pages designed to look like XP and used javascript to load up different "apps".

there is one in a flash portal for psp 2.70+

You people really need to put some thought into what you are saying

Windows XP will most likely never run like you see it run on the PSP due to the current factors.

Lets think of everything running @ 100%
1) PSP does not have an X86 Processor - 50%
2) Windows XP takes forever to install, no matter what computer -10%
3) the PSP graphics adapter is not good enough for most windows games -20%
4) Windows XP doesnt have drivers to run on the PSP which makes it worse -20%

So that leaves us with nothing, XP will probably only run as a client.

The thought of running windows XP on a PSP, Priceless!

someone should port a linux os to run natively on the psp. no emulators. that would be a sweet project

2) Windows XP takes forever to install, no matter what computer -10%

o_O What is the relevance of XP taking a long time to install on a PC? That is absolutely, totally removed from whether or not it'd run on the PSP. It takes awhile to install on the PC and.. shock.. it RUNS on PCs. o_o Soooooo.. yeah. I agree that it won't ever run, work, or even come within 30 feet of the PSP, but I have no clue why the install time is even mentioned.

even if it could emulate the actual xp it would be useless for gaming. it would take up all the psp's memory just for running the emu leaving games unplayable.

Actually there has been at least one attempt.. im surprised that no one has had any success by now though.

[Video_freak]

Yeah, me too 1x. They ported it to iPod for God's sake! :P

[Tomppa]

I think that XP is way far off.. 95, closer. Just that I could have a proper internet browser (dude, not IE, Firefox/opera), IM's, etc. Games? Never.

Oh, and yes, the psplinux or what was it called, it did look promising. But it seems like it's dead, for now. If the psp could run natively kernel, porting programs and stuff could be easier (not that I know anything about it, just a guess..).

Windows 3.1, anyone? :D

[Wally]

Windows 3.11 should run in dosbox quite easily..

However dosbox doesnt run commander keen 4 (which sucks)
