Thanks goes to (Sixabal) for his pictures...

How to use:
Extract pdosbox on ur mmc (or internal memory)
Place the windows file in a folder named OS
Run dosbox and type mount c "\storage card\OS
Then type the following commands:
1-c:
2-cd\os\windows
3-win
and there it is u have win 3.11 with mouse support you drag the mouse using the touch screen
the bad:
mouse controll is difficult
onscreen keyboard disappears, it's better to have a horizontal keyboard

Winrar will not work...will work if you use 7zip...
here's the link to download:

Kareem...is there something missing in the release??

Try to decompress it with 7-Zip (freeware), that worked for me.
(but not with WinRar or the Xp built-in WinZip)

[Edit] I`m sorry, I were afk between reading and answering this topic, so I missed the answer above mine, maybe some mod can delete my post^^

....but why? what's the use?
Do you really need to run old (ancient) windows on your PPC? It might run, and if it did, it will run slow -real slow- with frequent crashes...just like the old desktops.

Thanks to emulators now, you can do practically anything with your ppc, it's like substituting your notebook with your ppc...cool ha?

I think some things are better left with what they're suppose to do.

How to use:
Extract pdosbox on ur mmc (or internal memory)

pdosbox isn't in the WINDOWS.rar (mediafire link) I downloaded. It would be handy if it was, thanks.

I downloaded the other package. After a lot of mucking about I got this *working*. It doesn't look good on my device I can't read the messages in the windows error messages that pop up in win 3.11.

It does indeed emulate crashing of windows 3.1 very well.

Yeah you're right, as I said I did not try it....anyway, the dosbox can be found in the Farisi version, I uploaded them alone if you don't want to download that version...

I also uploaded them together (windows folder + dosbox) on rapidshare, tell me if it works ok.
