I got Windows 98 working in xdsl. It's considerably fast too! Couldn't take any images from inside xdsl as qemu froze when I did.

Will write a tutorial on how to get it to work tomorrow.

lol

What's so funny about it? <_<

Good job on that. I knew this could be done with qEMU (although Windows 98 is probably a bit unstable), but never had the time to check it out.

If you use the accelerator-module, try to disable it once. Yes, it will be slower for sure, but will it be more stable?

Well done.

Pretty cool, but may I ask, what is the point of running win98 on the Xbox?

What is the point of running Linux on the Xbox (when it first came out)?

That's right.. TO RUN IT! Doh. It IS possible, and that what makes it sweet!

Other reasons will include a user interface which many people will understand from the start (some people DO have 'problems' with Linux, ya know?) and maybe to play an old game or two. Also, what about the people who like MSN Messenger, Internet Explorer... OK, that last one is a lie.

Mmmm, I need to check this out. I'm going to try to install Windows 2000 (with the accelerator-module). After that, maybe Windows XP.

Side note for people who think XP will be too slow: yes, it probably will, but it can be stripped down as such that it even boots fast on a 400Mhz-machine with 32MB(!) of RAM.

It just goes to show that the Xbox is getting hacked day by day!
