# windows95
|
|
|
|
This is Windows 95, running in an Electron app. Yes, it's the full thing. I'm sorry. [Download it here](https://github.com/felixrieseberg/windows95/releases).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
## Does it work?
|
|
Yes! Quite well, actually.
|
|
|
|
## Should this have been a native app?
|
|
Absolutely.
|
|
|
|
## Does it run Doom (or my other favorite game)?
|
|
You'll likely be better off with an actual virtualization app, but the short answer is yes. [Thanks to
|
|
@DisplacedGamers](https://youtu.be/xDXqmdFxofM) I can recommend that you switch to a resolution of
|
|
640x480 @ 256 colors before starting DOS games - just like in the good ol' days.
|
|
|
|
## How's the code?
|
|
This only works well by accident and was mostly a joke. The code quality is accordingly.

## Credits

|
|
99.999% of the work was done over at [v86](https://github.com/copy/v86/) by Copy.

Before you can run this from source, you'll need the disk and state images. They're not part of the repo,
|
|
but [you can download them here](https://mega.nz/#!euxygQBT!i03vtE4kYTgrZ1rjZa1gT2F8hvhcwIAgGBsY4ECjs0w).
|
|
|
|
Unpack the `images` folder into the `src/renderer` folder, creating this layout:
|
|
|
|
```
|
|
./src/renderer/images/default-state.bin
|
|
./src/renderer/images/windows95.img
|
|
```
|
|
|
|
Once you've done so, run `npm install` and `npm start` to run your local build.
