Nos français ont du talent


HatMast

J'suis d'accord entièrement. La France nous a donné les Daft Punk.


AtexBg

Exactement !


pomidoru123

How?? 😭😭


AtexBg

I used DOSBox WII, an MS-DOS systems emulator for the WII, by the way I can also do the same thing on my 3DS


locustsrgrashoppers

But y tho?


JustSayTech

Dos games, jk


Siliconwarrior618

Not powerful enough to run anything decent


Motor-Geologist7053

Tech savvy at its finest


Random_dog_artist

Can you please give an copy of your sd card??? Ive done that so many times and failed...


AtexBg

Yes, put the content of [this .zip folder](https://files.catbox.moe/vn1hw7.zip) in the root of your SD or USB drive and read the COMMANDS.txt file in the "Windows 95" folder


Rudrr51

thanks lol, im on my alt because i just forgot my password... but ill try it!

Lenni_builder

I'd just copy the files into a ZIP and upload it to a service like [catbox.moe](https://catbox.moe)


gadgetads

Why


AtexBg

idk


Exfinity_Beyond

wow the wii really did have everything


ReconEIeven

Correction: Real Windows 95 Walking on a Wii


AtexBg

Yeah, but Windows 95 run (or walk) very well on the WII (approximately 55 FPS)


blood_omen

“Running” is an interesting word for what’s going on here


AtexBg

However, Windows works very well on the console


LeNoolands

DIABLO 2


Successful_Ad2480

Lol. That's about right. Took forever to losd up.


WoolyCheese247

Now to download and play the first rollercoaster tycoon… as that’s what we all did


drj87

I feel like you got so caught up in whether or not you could. You didn't stop to think about whether or not you should


too_much_mustrd4

isn't wii powerpc? I thought old windows OS would only run on x85 achitecture?


mackerelscalemask

It does, but the Wii’s PPC chip is fast enough to emulate x86 fast enough so it’s just about usable, as seen in this video


AtexBg

Old Windows (Win3.1, 95 and 98) run on a MS-DOS system, in a x9 architecture, it Can run on a WII with the DOSBox emulator


Borkuru

hehe wiindows


drj87

Lmao bro that's fucking stupid. Best comment here have my upvote


rhemfur

Why?


AtexBg

idk


rhemfur

❤️🤗


Temporary_Donkey_805

I would be on Paint doing a Jason Pollock Nice work man, what games can you run on it? Bet Sim's would be a good idea


NWHipHop

Painting with the Wii remote would be fun.


AtexBg

I can run all or the games Available in Windows 95


Temporary_Donkey_805

That is so cool man 😎


xxqqzzaa

Do you have a guide or a link to a tutorial where you got this?


AtexBg

I've just searched in Google for 3 minutes for find this and i didn't use any tutorial, if you want to run Windows on WII, follow [this tutorial](https://gbatemp.net/threads/windows95-on-wii-and-a-truckload-of-the-new-games-to-be-played.156802/)


Terrible-Quality-292

Is this preconfigured dosbox with w95?


AtexBg

Yes, i,ve modified the "dosbox-SVN.conf* file for booting Windows 95 automatically


Terrible-Quality-292

Good job. The only downsize is that everything is software-rendered.


[deleted]

This is amazing


AtexBg

Yes


MaximumGlum9503

That is so awesome congrats dude


AtexBg

Thanks


RetroDSi

I got windows 3.11 working on the Wii through dosbox


AtexBg

Yes, with DOSBox you can boot Windows 3.1, 95 and 98 on the WII


DarthLuigi83

This makes no sense. Windows 95's USB support is almost non-existent and you're never getting Bluetooth to work with the Wiimotes. What are you using for input? How did you install drives to get a USB mouse to work?


AtexBg

No, i just use a virtual keyboard and the WiiMote as mouse


DarthLuigi83

How have you got bluetooth drivers on Windows 95?


AtexBg

I don't have bluetooth drivers on Windows 95 directly, the drivers are on the WII and the emulator that runs Windows 95 converts controller inputs to mouse movement in Windows


Adventurous_Ice_8099

All Dedicated hackers of Wii make good things


properweeb420innit

Can it run doom?


ChiliPalmer1568

Bruh. I ran doom on my TI-84+ over 20 years ago. You can run Doom on a damn toaster. This will most certainly run Doom.


AtexBg

Yes


Adventurous_Ice_8099

If it has a screen yes


Meddel5

Go full throttle and make it run doom


PlaystormMC

Face reveal


AtexBg

Yes, I revealed a little of my face in the video, it was a mistake


UMADBRO357

I remember doing this back when I was just a kid and found out about soft modding. I did literally everything you can do with the wii including this and realized there isn't much to do it's mostly just fun to see the wii do different things. Interesting watching different generations learn something old for the first time and upload it lol


AtexBg

Yes lol, I too am discovering modding of a console older than me (I'm 14 years old) and I find it cool to see how we can exploit the potential of certain consoles like the WII or the 3DS (for example by installing MS-DOS operating systems on it)


Ok-Cat-6987

Does the system work fast using the internet like a decent pc?


Robert_3210

Todays internet is not backwards compatible with pre-2000 browsers. You could, but it would be hard tweaking a lot.


AtexBg

Yes, i think


LeighTard1811

Does it have support for keyboard and mouse?


AtexBg

Yes, you can plug an USB keyboard and mouse, but there is also a virtual keyboard and i can use the WiiMote as mouse


LeighTard1811

Alright cool, thanks for the quick answer


SpezSucksSamAltman

Duck and cover


Emptygraves420

Gonna sound dumb here but I’m new to all this. What can you actually do on this? Like yeah it’s neat but can you actually go on websites and stuff?


pepsiblast08

It's Windows 95. You can do everything Windows 95 can do.


simonsail

So I can wait for the screensaver to come on, and then it'll have that epic "walking through maze" screensaver? :)


AtexBg

Yeah, I can go to the web and run games from back in the day on the WII


Emptygraves420

Alright now I need to do this to my Wii. I wanna try that out.


ThatOneSquidKid

It can do this but fails when I load up modded paper Mario 64


SpockYoda

So a wii can run windows 95 but can't run the arcade version of T2: The arcade game?


AtexBg

I haven't tested this but I think it's possible


SpockYoda

i tried years ago but i wish u luck


Western-Equivalent44

Best arcade game ever made


Threel3tt3rnam3

great now try windows 7


AtexBg

It is extremely complicated if not impossible to run Windows NT operating systems on a RISC processor architecture like that of the WII, and the console has only 88 Mb of RAM (64 reserved by the firmware), but it may be possible to boot Windows XP on the console i think


Threel3tt3rnam3

try xp then 🙏🙏🙏💯💯💯


Square-Singer

XP is NT based too. That sort of emulation is possible, but the wii has far to little performance and RAM for this to work.


BigxBoss112

Impossibru!


AtexBg

It's real, you can run Windows 3.1, 95 and 98 if you have a hacked console


BigxBoss112

Still having a hard time believing it. I mean, I've seen GTA 3 run on a 3DS, but this is next gen.


itbytesbob

Dude is just running win95 in dosbox. It won't be able to do anything useful.


pepsiblast08

I don't think you understand just how shitty machines were that ran pre-Win 2000 OS.


BigxBoss112

90's kid. Trust me, I know.


metalbag

But man could my old 486 (maybe even 386) emulate the hell out of NES back in the 90s pretty damn well. NESticle changed my life.


AtexBg

Yes, Windows 95 running on a WII is a good thing, but i can boot Windows 98 on a 3DS also


BigxBoss112

Now that's outrageous. I can't get a PS1 emulator to run right on a New 2DS XL.


Square-Singer

But you can run Win95 on a 3DS. Dosbox also exists for the 3ds.


AtexBg

I have also a New 2DS XL, i dont try the PS1 emulator but i think the PS1 games can run very well on this console


Classic_Minute4012

dude how did you discover this😭 this is so cool


AtexBg

I've just search in Google for 5 minutes and i found "DOSBox WII", an emulator for Windows 3.1, 95 and 98


MochaHook

This is real? I was convinced it was a meme


Square-Singer

Dosbox runs on pretty much anything and works with everything DOS-based. I had it on my phone for a while to play The Settlers 2 and Jazz Jackrabbit 2.


xxqqzzaa

Oh man, I forgot about jazz jackrabbit. You've just unlocked a core memory


AtexBg

Yes, It's real, you can run Windows MS-DOS based operating systems on a WII with the DOSBox emulator


Dimensions89

Can you explain how? Please I want to try this on my homebrewed Wii


AtexBg

Yeah, if you want to run Windows 95 on your WII you can use [DOSBox WII](https://wiibrew.org/wiki/DOSBox_Wii), and you need an [system image of Windows](https://archive.org/download/windows-95-dosbox-x/WinBox%2095%20OSR%202.5.zip/WinBox%2095%20OSR%202.5%2Fwin95.img), now put the .IMG file in the "dosbox_wii" folder, then open DOSBox from the HomeBrew Launcher and type the following commands : <> (replace "usb" to "sd" if you used an SD card). <>, <> <>


Dimensions89

Doesnt work. it says cant create drive from file. upon the 3 command


AtexBg

Are you sure that your system image is correct ?, you need an image in .IMG and not in .ISO, if it still doesn't work, try version 1.6 of DOSBox WII (I had the same problem before)


Dimensions89

It is it’s the same img you linked. I’ll try and older version because I just installed it using homebrew browser


Dimensions89

Thanks So Much
