porting of windows xp on s60v3
my friend has it but his system crashes after using it .
any idea to make it run on low ram
he has n96 Nam Rm-427

as far as i know only operating systems based on DOS can be run by dosbox ?

so win XP can't be run? It doesnt need DOS

u cant get xp to run on symbian. only up to 98. forgive me if im wrng but isnt it to do with xp not runnin on dos

I have tried it, and can confirm it not working with DosBox
I used a light version of XP.
However these are the problems:
-There is no NT emulator (NT uses a single file: ntldr, no .bat or .sys or like that)
-The processor architecture is not compatible (XP is only on x86, x64 and similar)
-No device has a constant 64Mb RAM (Decreases on Symbian, but Maemo has constant 256Mb, but doesnt really count in this case..)
-If it was running, you would be running slowly like if it was The Matrix in slow-mo. (There is no frameskip in XP)
-DosBox is made for DOS only, nothing else.

hmm slow ? maybe not
i ve seen windows XP running on a under 50 mhz CPU

but the problem as you metioned it is that dos thing

BUT MY FRIEND IS RUNING WINDOWS XP ON HIS NEW PHONE N97 .HOW IS IT POSSIBLE ??
HE IS NOT TELLING ME
IT NOT A FLASHLITE APP .
I THINK IT SOMETHING LIKE VIRUAL DRIVE

No i dont think it is possible to run xp or any newer system on symbian devices.
I think your friend is using win98 with xp theme (or even win3.11 with xp-look-alike system [cant figure that packages name out now, can be found in some else topic over here])

Only thing what could make it possible is to make whole system from begin and forgot symbian all way.. But that is so hard to get to work so i wont believe it could work..

But ofcourse i can be wrong.

Number 1: STOP POSTING IN CAPS! It's like shouting.
Number 2, he has probably skinned his phone to look a lot like XP
