Windows xp for nintendo ds

What does it even do I couldnt quite figure that out what is the point is it worth it lol?

WTH are you talking about? The nearest thing to Windows on the DS is Win2DS, and that’s just an app that shows your desktop on your DS, not a full OS.

As for XP itself:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsxp/sysreqs/pro.mspx

•PC with 300 megahertz or higher processor clock speed recommended; 233 MHz minimum required (single or dual processor system);* Intel Pentium/Celeron family, or AMD K6/Athlon/Duron family, or compatible processor recommended
•128 megabytes (MB) of RAM or higher recommended (64 MB minimum supported; may limit performance and some features)
•1.5 gigabytes (GB) of available hard disk space*
•Super VGA (800 x 600) or higher-resolution video adapter and monitor
•CD-ROM or DVD drive
•Keyboard and Microsoft Mouse or compatible pointing device

We’ve got the pointing device, we can use our computer’s CD-ROM or DVD drive (for the install disk, I’d assume).
Nintendo intentionally kept the screen’s ppi low, because the higher-resolution screens are more expensive, and most humans seem half-blind. Also, older people WILL be using the system, so it would be unfair to them. 256×192 doesn’t even come close to 800×600, or even 640×480 (which some emergency modes seem to run on, and which I believe is also the iPhone’s screen).
How much RAM do we have? 4MB? I think that’s less than 64, by quite a margin.
300MHz is also out of reach.

I’ll check 98:
-66 MHz
-16 MB RAM
-vga
Much closer, and we could probably use a RAM extension, but it would still tax the system.
Still, I would have thought that we couldn’t get any more than 3.11, which needs:

-MS-DOS 3.1 or later
-IBM compatible 80286 or higher (386 recommended)
-640KB Conventional memory
-256KB extended memory (XMS v 2.0 or higher)
-1MB extended memory recommended on 80286
-2MB extended memory recommended on 80386
Sounds like it would run perfectly.

He’s probably talking about WintenDoS, which is basically a simulation of XP on the DS, including a start menu and a textpad, along with a couple other programs.

End of Topic.

Win 3.11 would be REALLY awesome to see.
But hey — where can I download my DS port of DOS?
Oh wait-

BTW, it’s open-source.

Impossible is nothing.

MAYBE if you had the sources of all the old games and the requirements were reasonable, you could play some DOS or Windows games on DS. But I really don’t see it happening. Who knows? I’d love to play some old games on my DS. For now, ScummVM will do.

As for the dual cores, I’d suppose the idea would be to run it on the one 66 MHz core, which alone could run Windows 98. It’s a 32-bit chip, but it’s different from a standard architecture, so I’m not sure what that implies.
At any rate, you’d have to wonder what the use would be.

Speaking of DSLinux, is there a GUI desktop on that?
