Run Windows 98 on the Xbox using Qemu on Xdsl
>> From 'm.e' on psphacker.com:
[QUOTE]
There are other ways to get Windows 98 working on Xbox but they use Bochs(info) to get Windows working. This tutorial uses Qemu which is many times faster than Bochs. This makes it fast enough to be useable.
* Qemu isn’t new so why hasn’t anyone run Windows this way before?
Because before Xdsl(info) was ported, all available Linux distributions where big memory hungry things that could barely run them self.
* How fast is it then?
I used to have a 233 MHz computer with 32 MB RAM. This runs a little slower than that but not much.
* Why would I want to run Windows on my Xbox?
Because you can!
* Is it legal?
All software used is free except Windows 98 which most people have an old copy of. So yes it should be legal.
* Do I need to know Linux to be able to follow the tutorial?
No
* What do I need to get this working?
-A modded Xbox
-A Windows 98 CD (preferably Windows98 SE as its supposable more stable and boots from CD)
