  • Welcome to a series of many more videos to come. Can the Nintendo 3ds run Windows 95? Possibly. Can I install an early version of Ableton and try to make music on it? We will find out.
    In one of my next videos, I want to install Windows on my TV, so stick around to see that as well.
    Music used in this video is made by me: linktr.ee/jace...

I'm assuming the issue here is that the CPU emulated is either too weak, or the 3DS is too weak to emulate it well. (Probably the latter.)

      Then you have to create a blank .img file and extract the windows 95 install iso to it. Mount dos in dosbox, mount the img file you created with the windows 95 files on there.

    Why did you had to do all these steps? I have Windows 95 on the exact same 3DS as yours and I just had to install dosbox as a CIA file, put a w95 image file on the dosbox folder of my SD card as well as a w95.bat to do all the commands stuff for us and boot w95 and that's all I had to do. I then just have to run dosbox, select "load content" and run the .bat file :) (I just don't have the extra mouse and keyboard stuff you have on the bottom screen but that's alright)
