i suppose because they either want a really small amount of space, the capabilities of the PSP (im not sure about the specs, these are only guesses)

Yeah I can see that, but if you want to save space why not use Windows CE?

or Linux even... they have linux for iPaq/Palms, I'm sure It'd work on a psp if 95 runs on it!

This has been possible for quite a while now with the crude, quick port of the bochs x86 emulator to the psp. From what I know, it currently takes about 30-40 mins for Windows 95 to boot but isn't too bad when it is booted. It seems as tho the creator is looking to speed it up by using a hardware solution (using the full potential of the graphics card) to stretch the image to the full size of the screen as this software solution currently used creates a huge overhead.

So anyway.... hopefully that has enlightened you all :P

BTW, That's right, I am still alive.

OH i am stupid, i meant to mention that some folks stuck linux on it...but someone mentioned Windows C.E which is now Windows Mobile.

That would of ran really well i would think, people need to use their heads!

Why would you want to install Windows on a PSP anyway? What in the world can you do with Windows 95? You can't even play games with it, because most don't support anything before Windows 98SE anymroe. PLus, 30-40 minutes to boot??!?!?!?!?!?!? What the heck! My old 100mhz machine would move faster than that!!!! :P PSP's can already surf the web, play music, play movies, play games, etc. What more could you want in a palm device? Word processing?

LOL on a psp? I dunno if workd processing would even be worth having... considering... Is it touch screen? If not... it's pointless LOL
