Windows 95 running on a Wii part 1

I used DosBox Wii build v44, HBC 1.0.1, and the Windows 95 Upgrade version for this video. The odd read coloring is because I'm using the EGA311.exe driver in Win95 in order for the video to generate right on the Wii.
Sorry it's so painfully long, I did cut out 5 minutes of the boot process in between to two video parts. It took about 12 1/2 minutesjust to boot into windows, so don't expect to see the Start bar until about the second half of this video. Basically unusable as you can see from how fast Solitaire comes up, not to mention its increadably unstable. But I did it and now I can move on to more productive things.
I'll have a walk through on my site in a few days in how I did it, but really it's a waste of time until DosBox gets faster and stabler on the Wii.

if i install homebrew channel will it or could it damage my wii?

If i did install it will i be able to uninstall it?

THanks

No it couldn't damage your Wii and yes you could uninstall it.

TheJankyJungle is actually right, but as long as you're just referring to the Homebrew Channel I think the odds are better that you get hit by lighting then damage your Wii.

great but my pentium 1 pc with 66mhz is faster than the wii with windows 95 :P

what can i do with this?

[MrLokification]

@ShadowChaosControl lol, a linux os could run on a mac os

[TheRealDutchOwner]

@ftwelve, It's indeed VERY hard to brick a Wii, because patches are made, and the new Letterbomb exploit doesn't use games anymore, so the moon would explode faster then a Wii getting bricked by Letterbomb.
