Yeah, me working in the field of marine automation systems doesn't even come close to W95 on N3DS.
And indeed, Windows 95 on ARM systems isn't even that new but one of the more trendy things in the scene right now. You basically only need to port and run aDosBox on the N3DS.
I work in neurology using vr for cancer research. I still find this impressive. Your epeen doesnt impress me, nor does your fake jadedness.
So again, show me your accomplishment.

If serious you need to take a step back and get some fresh air. You comparing a want with actual accomplishments in human history.
Anyway.. I guess this is big. I don't get it just yet but I'll follow just to see the big deal.

You lost it.
This is a nice personal archivement not some stunning piece of software engineering or even close to the moon landing.
And as expert for neurology and VR technolgy you should know it that porting aDosBox to the N3DS isn't that stunning.

i mean, they had dosbox running windows 95 on the psp. this isn't exactly groundbreaking lmao
...the person mandating the mission compared going to the moon to two college football teams playing.
Its the most apt comparison because the very terminology used points out that people do a variety of "hard things" all for the same reason - personal accomplishment.
Gonna show off your accomplishments anytime soon?

why should he have to justify and validate his points to you by posting proof of where he works/what he's done

He wasn't comparing this to landing on the moon, he was using the quote from JFK as a reply to someone who asked "why would someone do this".
Because if you make a post talking bad about someone else's accomplishments without justifying it, you're merely shit posting.
Nobody is calling this groundbreaking, "lmao"

To be fair we had to go to the moon to make sure neither the aliens or the Russians were planning to invade from there
Because sitting on your perch saying "psh I could do that" is easy
Talk is cheap. He's doing the exact opposite of what he is bragging about.
And im not asking him to post anything related to his job. I'm telling him to put up or shut up.

I mean getting such butthurt reaction for not sharing the view that this is a moon landing tier event is so fucking cringeworthy. I feel bad for all people involved here.
I'm sure you do.

Let me clarify... you can compare things on lots of levels. What I meant to say was he wasn't saying this was as big of an accomplishment as landing on the moon. He was using the JFK quote (Specifically "Not because it is easy, but because it is hard") as the reasoning for why someone would do this to begin with.

The immaturity in this thread is crazy.
Who cares what someone's job is and what they've done?
This isn't a revolutionary or mind boggling accomplishment. It's neat, yes. But people need to really chill out.

I asked a simple question and he answered with yes. There isn't really anything to discuss anymore.
How did this thread disintegrate into the petty stuff so quickly?
Anyway, super neat thingy, but I doubt it'll have much use outside of the novelty of running 98 on a 3DS. Nice little achievement regardless of that though, kudos for posting this, don't pay enough attention to that particular homebrew scene anymore, when I really should.
Makes me nostalgic for the days when PSP homebrew was massive.

It's a thread about homebrew/emulation on GAF.
They are always ruined without fail. It's why I just don't give a shit any more.
Stuff like this isnt meant to be used. The person behind this isnt expecting people to actually install and use windows 95 on their 3ds.

Alright! Finally space cadet pinball table lives!
It's very, very basic. No keyboard or mouse controls integrated at all. It's literally just a proof of concept.
You literally just paraphrased what I said.

If emulating Windows 95 is apparently, supposedly as big an accomplishment as the moon landing, I really wonder what Vista could be equated to.
The launch of STS-107

I think a lot if people have missed his point... He was comparing it to the drive and motivation of self accomplishments.

What sorcery is this? It almost me want a New 3DS...
It's almost as cool as running Quake 3 and Duke Nukem 3D on old symbian phones.

Please yes
I don't know but it's in Retroarch so basically it's there. I don't know how much of Retroarch already works on n3ds.
Windows on 3DS actually happened though

Man, the 3DS library really is leaps-and-bounds better than Vita.
