Oops... Sorry, I misred all the PSP spec reports...

To clarify, the PSP has a MIPS R4000 32-bit core 128bit BUS running anywhere from 1-333MHz Processor.

What I meant about the Windows port was if it was possible to run Windows (95 and up) either straight forward or on some kind of emulator JUST TO SEE IF IT RUNS.

I'm probably not going to use it often unless there it runs at a reasonable speed and usuability.

I'm thinking someone should make a Bochs or quemu (or other emu) to run Windows on the 770 just to see the full extent of the Nokia 770.

NetBSD/OpenBSD would probably make most sense. I gather it would be very easy to get them to boot on the device, but you would have no input/output from the system :-) To make it usable you'd need to write a few drivers, for the display, the network interfaces... This could require some confidential specs from Nokia so it might not be too easy. But who knows...

If you like Windows the best idea is probably to run VNC and control your Windows box remotely. Or you could even run VNC/X remotely to a Linux box that's running Wine or Windows over VMWare

Windows Mobile 2003 already runs on the same TI chip in another handheld (check the TI press release from 2004), and I think it's possible that the Windows Mobile 2005 could work as well. The main thing you would need is the driver for the sound, the driver for the tablet, and the driver for display. mmc and flash support should be already built into the kernel. Also, this TI chip runs Palm OS 5.0 as well, it would take a bit of work porting it, but I don't doubt it would run faster than linux on it. Hell, if it was Palm OS, think of all the developers. Or imagine having Windows Mobile 2005 with IE and that movie player thingy..

I don't know what the hell you're smoking, but there is NO way msmobile could run on the n770 without an emulator of some sort...
(unless of course microsoft wrote it in the first place for nokia)

I'd definetely throw my Sony TH55 (yes, if it *would run* PalmOS... but it don't :-( )

Thanks for your comments...

So as of my understanding now... It's technically possible to run Windows 95 (or whatever) or Mobile or CE on it it's just going to require drivers and such?.. I don't know, the questions are unclear...

For the best bet, I would need some kind of emu to run it. I'll try look around one more time to see if this is possible. For my first project, I'll try look around to find something that can make me control my Windows PC via VNC (thankies to varis). I'll keep you posted on what's happening soon!~

Okay it works!~ Yippie! The VNC client I downloaded works pretty well despite the screen resolution and real-time image scaling. Anyway, like I said, I'm gonna try to find something that can run Windows on this device. If you guys have any info, please HELP!!!

A port of bochs or qemu would be the best bet. A nice demo (like the PSP one), but it's almost certainly going to be entirely useless due to its speed.

VNC or rdesktop to a remote box can give you the feel (and will be faster), but doesn't really "count" for running Windows or whatever due to its reliance on a network connection.

HTH,

I agree with Andrew that it is basically just a complete waste of time to try to get win 95 working on 770 (via bochs).

But: Could someone port the 68000 emulator (and along with it: sega megadrive emulator picodrive) http://uosis.mif.vu.lt/~grig2790/Cyclone/
And along with that, the picodrive http://notaz.atspace.com/

It is blazing fast on Nokia phones, so expect that it would perform at 100% speed on 770 (even in full screen).

Ok let's reclarify somethings here:

Windows was NOT ported to the MIPS processor. The image is still very much x86. The emulator was running it so it could switch the x86 code to MIPS.

Another thing: To get something like say Windows Mobile or Palm OS onto a Nokia 770 you would need a licensee agreement from Microsoft or Access which will run you a couple million dollars.

Or you could reverse engineer the entire OS which is illegal and could land you in jail.

In short what you want to do is nearly impossible and/or illegal. I for one think a simple emulator that would run on top of Maemo such as a Palm one (since Palm OS was built for really limited hardware say a 22mhz monochrome screen).
