[APP][2.2+] BOCHS for Android (Pentium PC emulator)

[APP][2.2+] BOCHS for Android (Pentium PC emulator) - Android Apps and Games

Description:
Emulates Pentium PC for Android. It can run x86 OS.
It was compiled from stable relese 2.5 (11/27/11) with modifications for Android and my own implementation of sound output via SDL. It uses SDL(from mamaich).
It is slower than QEMU, but is rather stable so is preferable in case low requirements for HW.
Requirements: Android 2.2+.
How to install:
1. Install apk (attached)
2. Extract content of SDL.zip to /sdcard/SDL folder on your phone
3. Put hdd image to /sdcard/SDL folder and rename it to c.img (or modify bochsrc.txt)
Possible issues: The programm exits right after start and there is no bochsout.txt in /sdcard/SDL - check bochsrc.txt for errors:
-wrong path to images (check cAsE)
-bad symbols were added to file
If you have bochsout.txt after start, then it should contain description for the issue. In most cases it is unsupported format of disk image
Control:
- It emulate touchpad on touchscreen and left/right mouse buttons on volume
You can also click touch screen to generate mouse left button click.
- Back = BackSpace, Menu = Enter, left-upper corner click generates TAB
- left-lower corner click popups keyboard
Additional features:
- (warning it is experimental so can damage you file system) direct access to NAND of your phone
modify bochsrc.txt the next way
ata0-slave: type=disk, mode=vvfat, path=/sdcard/HDD, journal=vvfat.redolog
where HDD - folder in /sdcard root
- Sound support via SDL
modify bochsrc.txt:
sb16: wavemode=1, dmatimer=500000
OS should have installed SB16 drivers
example of bochsrc.txt is attached

I've got a problem, cause when I wanna to start system i have No bootable media.
And there is a second problem, I can't mount cdrom.

Can u do a qemu app?

Windows XP SP3 Fundamentals
Dear geeks,
Finally, Windows XP SP3 Fundamentals is running under Android Bochs. It is very very stable. Works great with mouse and Windows XP On-screen Keyboard. The only problem on 500 Mhz processor in HTC - takes 1,5 hours to start. And very slow. Fast mobile required.

can you tell me how did you prepare .img file?

how to prepare img file
Not difficult actually. You need to use Bochs Disk Image Creation Tool. For XP SP3 at least 1500 Mb must be allocated. You need to install Fundamentals on real PC (otherwise you wount type ctrl+alt+del on first logon, and wount change display resolution to 640p), then transfer image file to android.

Yesterday tryed Microsoft Office 2003 - works extremely slow.

Can u post sp3 img?

Post image
The compressed image is 1.1 Gb. It includes bootable Windows XP Fundamendals Service Pack 3. I will attache also src text file with pc configuration. It is compatible for both PC and Android. Windows boots full color display 640*460 interlace drop till 320*240, 80 Mb RAM allocated, so it is still 40-50 avaliable for common Android applications. XP recognizes Pentium 4 processor operating at 7 Mhz. The forum limitations doesnt allow attaching that big files. If someone can give me an ftp or whatever like that and publish a link for everyone, i can provide files.

Sweet!! Contact the OP

Puppy or damn small linux could be worth a shot. They dont require much.

You don't have bootable disk images according to log. Did you place c.img to SDL folder?

psxpc to psx4droid

I'm trying to transfer some emulator save files from pc to android. My Pc is using "PSX" (save = .psv) emulator and my android device is using "PSX4DROID"(save = .mcr). I read online that if I changed the PSX save file name to the PSX4DROID's file name it would work and it doesn't. I also tried downloading a converter but it doesn't work with my machine which is running windows 7 64 bit edition.

someone help?

I'm willing to test this out on a Xoom. I'll update later on.

I'm getting my img, i'll update soon.
Edit1: I just managed to boot win7 .img. I editted bosch.txt and got this gem to work, also now I can use usb host to plug a mouse.
Edit2: April fool's
Edit3: Btw, no joke, managed to make a ".img" from a ".vhd" WinXP sp2 lite version, and made it run, you just need to edit bochs.txt to give more free ram. I always have 420~ free ram becouse im under ARHD, but with aosp you can manage to get more.
Lite version of windows is the best choice, no crap services (like printer) or unused programs (aka tools) runs pretty fast, keyboard works under .txt (PRETTY FAST! IF USING OC KERNEL)
Just download an iso, open virtual machine, install winxp and then backup the img as .vhd or .img
I'm trying to get the pad work, dunno if it's app limitation.
Can't post link, but if pm I can give winxp sp2 .vhd (no lite) so you can convert it to img under windows 7
-I'll try qemu, perhaps faster.
ALSO, win7 is impossible on tf101.
Wait for win8 that can run under ARM devices, with a boot manager we could simply boot under ubuntu, android or win8. Just be patient.
PS: For windows xp you must edit ips table to a value ~ 10000000
also, here you have cmds for the internal debugger
http://bochs.sourceforge.net/doc/docbook/user/internal-debugger.html

How fast is it? How long does it take to open any small program ?

Awww...bad joke man...I been messing with this all day could have PM'd me..anyways, what about Vista..is it possible?

I wonder if you can access internet or local file from inside android filesystem?
I am asking because i have small utility id like to run on WinXp so wonder how can i get it in there?
Tnx

Pretty cool, i wouldnt mind messing around with this and seeing what i can do.

Can you post the modified .txt file and xp img file please?
Or can you make a tutorial with all the steps?
I'm trying to run xp on the transformer since february.
Thanks
Mod Edit: No asking for img files of Microsoft OS' systems is allowed as this is warez

I've tried like 10 different .IMGs and i get the error "NO BOOT"

@ all,
Stop asking for images of WinXP. This is a copyrighted OS and as such, if you don't have it, you cannot have it (unless you buy if, of course) or share it.
There have been multiple people requesting this in this thread. Next one to ask will get a vacation.

[Emulator] Windows 95 on Android devices

Hi guys. In this days I put Windows 95 on Eee Pad Transformer (and other devices obliously) and I decide to do a guide for all user!
Now, let's begin with requirements:
- Every devices that have 1 GHz or more...
- Every devices with 1GB or more...
- Android obviously..
- 250MB free on your internal storage or in your SD..
- A screen with 480x800 resolution or more...
- A PC...
- 7-zip installed on your PC
- 150MB free on your PC (for the decompression)
- The package with SDL, c.img and Bochs2_5_1.apk
For english users I give this package (http://www.mediafire.com/?awzl27cymm21iif), and for italian user (I'm italian and I made an image in italian , or for someone that want to learn a new language ) (http://www.mediafire.com/?ixlehj2xo5ulcoj).
Download your package (113MB for english package; 120 for italian package);
So, decompress the package with 7zip;
Then install the emulator Bochs2_5_1.apk on your device;
copy in your SD or in your internal storage the folder "SDL";
DON'T EDIT RAM SETTINGS OR OTHER THING BOCHSRC.TXT, YOU MAY STOP THE APP, if this happens, copy the original file "bochsrc.txt" in the folder "SDL". You may change only the name of images in *.txt file.
Bugs:
2nd *.img image doesn't work (I don't know why but I'm working on it),
CD image (*.iso) doesn't work (same thing).
Floppy image (*.img) doesn't work (same thing).
In italian image, at the start, there is a RUNDLL error, it's normal, don't worry
Thanks for the apps and files from this guide (libSDL doesn't work) (http://forum.xda-developers.com/show....php?t=1459153) and for me
PS: Windows 95 isn't upgradeable (because of limited space). If I find a new method to create new inges, I say you it.
This guide is maded by me Domenico Verde.
Bye

Moderators, I put this post in wrong thread. Can you move it?

Cool I want to check this out!

Moving files from Chromebook to Mt4 on Linux

HI there,
I was able to install Metatrader 4 on my Chromebook using Linux. I am now attempting to move files downloaded on the book (custom indicators and templates) into the Metatrader 4 platform. I tried clicking the "share with Linux" tab, but I wasn't successful. Normally, on Windows, you would just copy and paste or drag over the file into the mt4 platform.
Anyone know of anyway to move a file from CB to mt4 platform on Linux?
Thanks,
Michael
