Windows 98 on PS3

[19main89]

how can i get it i need it for someone please tell

[OCSmoke8]

why does XP run slow is it cause u have to choose a low ram in qemu? if u choose like 256 mb 512 mb or 1gb will it break ur ps3? or will it just run very slow when qemu is running??

[xan1242]

It is slow because 98 (and older than 2000) is 9X based on dos(Except NT).

[grandmastgarth]

the Ps3 has only 256 ram inside.

[SONGOKU02]

@grandmastgarth why you give him a -. Its right what he says.. but its better than the 360 in all other ways. But i like both..(( ps3 way more..))

[grandmastgarth]

..what..? xbox 360 is better, sorry.

[SONGOKU02]

@grandmastgarth aww.. really?.. then check the real points. The 360 is only better in the ram. :) sry dude. Btw.. i play both but like the ps3 better.. btw.. all these dumb things about: whats better " and all the dumb arguments... dude.. only look on the real fackts.. btw.. i am a nintedo sony gamer.. but play 360 because halo and DoA... .. so... what the fuck? ^^

[KhooksWrestlefan0315]

So this means that I can play all the old SIM's games and SimCity games on here.That's sweet.Lol.

[dnniwa485]

lol .. i installed Win98 and played games like:

- starcraft

- red alert 1

- recoil

- final fantasy VII pc version

and runs normal ^_^

[renefak]

@dnniwa485 can you play red alert 2?

[AirProdigy]

Hey the tutorial link isn't working help please! i'd really aprecciate it.

[33trolli33]

how did you install the game?

i`ve got win98 o my ps3,too. but it doesn`t find any CD!!!!!

[60spaure]

Yeah, sony disables their drive under linux to prevent game copying

[Kin632]

buttttttt,,, there is a workaround, just find a way to mount and unmount isos

[kc70]

Can you run a n64 emulator doing this?

[JaxxBunny]

This is actually cool. But while this is a really cool thing..

Personally I think it's pointless.

This is just my opinion, k? So chill..

Most people have a perfectly fine, working computer, and a perfectly fine, working games console.. So why try to merge them? Unless it's for those who don't actually have their own computer..

I just see it as a lot of pissing about, for nothing really lol..

Good work though nonetheless! XD

[Appule69]

@JaxxBunny Yeah, I agree lol

[StevenBergstrom]

Empires FTW

[simteknemesis]

And the last Version of linux PS3 , offer more RAm, that can be Faster now n_n

[ShinCefca]

If I understand correctly:

-You can install YDL on PS3

-You can install QEMU

-You can install 95

-You can play any infinity engin games

Am I wrong?

When GemRB will be complete=no need for:

-Qemu

-Windows 95

[gtaellisn]

what games could you run on it ?

[manutd36]

as long as the cd drive works you should be able to run most games that support 98

[superearthbender]

what are the benefits? speed or accomplishment?

[superearthbender]

does installing win 98 make emulators easier and faster to install and run as compared to ydl 6?

[gamemasta771]

so you can't straight up install win 98? do you have to use yellow dog?

[spamsnake]

if by straight up install you mean install it on to the hard drive directly then no. You have to emulate it through Linux.

[gumby23601]

@spamsnake i know your post is old but now there is ps3 dosbox.

[MarioAnimalCrossing]

@spamsnake The PS3 has a PowerPC processor, and Microsoft made a PowerPC version of Windows NT 4.0, so could the PowerPC version of NT 4.0 work better?

[crazyfilms101]

how do you make the games into an iso?

[spamsnake]

I have recently discovered that you can mount the CD Drive directly, and you don't have to make ISOs. So instead of typing "-cdrom path/to/iso" you would type something like "-cdrom /dev/sr0" (where "sr0" is the node point of my CD Drive, it may be different on your system). So this makes things a lot easier. =D

[JP4560]

The PS3 is an Incredible Machine isnt it. I wish i could do this all i have have is the Yellow dof Linux install DVD, but i havent installed it caus ei have to USB keyboard or mouse

[nagravison]

whwre did you find win 98 ISO and age of empires ISO? please send me the link

[spamsnake]

I own the "Windows 98" Install CD, and "Age of Empires". So i just made ISO's of them. So I'm afraid i can't give you a link to them, and even if i did get them off the internet i wouldn't put a link here as it would be sort of illegal. just google it, I'm sure you'll find something ;)

[renefak]

@spamsnake how it works on ps3 ? like normal ? can i play red alert 2?

[Nicelson]

Tutorial Please !!!

[spamsnake]

I've added it to the description :D

[kingofkrunk16]

is there a tutorial?

[spamsnake]

Compared to XP on the PS3 it's pretty fast.

I've heard that 95 runs pretty well.

[kilolora]

Thats pretty slow

[daveexfusion]

Thats pretty awesome!
