Alright folks, PS3HaX member and Homebrew Dev Samson has released the final build of WinDOS for PS3. He has added many great things and a lot of needed finishing touches.

I eally hope this wont sound like a stupid question, but would i be able to instal a windows game on this, from a cd-rom?

[samson]

not stupid bud

yep just ftp the files from the cd into dev_hdd0/game/MINI91000/USRDIR/CD
its set up as a cdrom.. i did try to get the blu-ray to recognize cd's but it reads as 0 bite files..

I's like a fake mount i see, ok.

BTW to all those wondering it would appear this is Windows 3.1 (Calmira Explorer gave it away) so you'll only be able to use 16-bit apps. Note to the dev, not sure of how well it'd run on the PS3 port of DOSBox but you can run the first edition of Windows 95 (4.00.950) in DOSBox using a hard drive image rather than a folder. Nevertheless good job!

P.S: Surely there are some legality issues regarding releasing this with the Windows 3.1 files?

Like i have said before this is probably my favorite piece of homebrew for the PS3

sorry for asking without testing, does elder scrolls 1or 2 work on this?

i know we've been over this already .. but just so you know i have had no requests to take it down (if i do i will)

i do plan on starting open windows (16bit) and win32s does let you use some 32bit programs but it refuses to work on the ps3 same build runs win32s programs fine in dosbox portable on pc, i have also tried windows95.img but with the hdd size limitations its not really practical.

Yeah to be honest I don't see it being an issue; it's not as it 3.1 is used by anyone nowadays, or at least I hope not

As for the Wins32s issue hopefully it'll be fixed in a later build of DOSBox.
