Hacker gets Windows 95 running on a Nintendo 3DS

Windows 95 3DS

The Nintendo 3DS is now a PC, sort of, so please look forward to article after article about Monster Hunter 4. The 3DS is now a PC, sort of, because an enterprising individual by the name of shutterbug2000 has convinced it to run Windows 95. (That's my definition of a PC: can it run Windows?)

Does this mean we'll be able to play PC games on the 3DS? Or to use Word? It's a bit exciting. Follow this thread for more updates, or click here to learn how to install Windows on a New 3DS yourself. (Thanks, NeoGAF.)

Tom loves exploring in games, whether it’s going the wrong way in a platformer or burgling an apartment in Deus Ex. His favourite game worlds—Stalker, Dark Souls, Thief—have an atmosphere you could wallop with a blackjack. He enjoys horror, adventure, puzzle games and RPGs, and played the Japanese version of Final Fantasy VIII with a translated script he printed off from the internet. Tom has been writing about free games for PC Gamer since 2012. If he were packing for a desert island, he’d take his giant Columbo boxset and a laptop stuffed with PuzzleScript games.
