PDAs, Cellphones, Wireless In what can only be called "totally frakking awesome", someone installed Microsoft Windows 3.1 on a Nokia N95. By using DOSBox, Polish developer Marcin-PRV was able to install the ageing operating system on the Symbian-powered smartphone, allowing both operating systems to run side-by-side.

Back up a second...

This is great and all for the show-off value, but I'm more interested in the fact that you can get DOSBox on the N95. That opens up a whole world of retro gaming possibilities (better than all the demo shite on N-Gage for my money) if it works well.

Anyone know where to find this? There's no mention of it on the DOSBox site.
