NOTICE: This is literally not even useful. It's just a cool little thing to do. So don't think you'll be playing minesweeper and shit on your phone's desktop LOL.
Okay so before we begin, you need to have a BOOTABLE WINDOWS XP ISO and MAKE SURE YOUR ANDROID DEVICE IS PLUGGED IN INTO YOUR PC!!
Now, I will be adding the link to each thing in order from what you need to do.
1.) Qemu Manager: You must login or register to view this content.
2.) Blank Disc Image: You must login or register to view this content.
3.) SDL Zip: You must login or register to view this content.
4.) Bochs.apk: You must login or register to view this content.
First part you need to do is download Blank Disc Image, then install "Qemu Manager". Once you have Qemu manager installed open it up. Now, at the top left, click on "VM" and choose "New Virtual Machine". Now, right under General. The first box type in whatever you would like to name it and then click Next. Now, allocate whatever RAM you would want. I suggest just putting 1024 MB, and then click on "Do Not Use An Virtual Disk Image". Finally, click on Next and Finish.
Second part, at the top, click on "Drives" and double click on "Hard Disk 0". Now go to browse which is the three dots " ... " Now, locate the Black_Disk image that you have downloaded. Make sure you have your search type on "Files of type" > "All Files". Now, on the search box type in "Blank_Disk" press Open and click ok. Then, double click on CD-ROM, and locate your Windows XP Bootable ISO. Click on your Windows XP and then click ok. Now, finally you can increase the number of CPU Cores for faster emulation. Double click on "No of CPUs" and increase the number of processors to 2. Then, go to the top left corner find where the Green Arrow is at and click on it. This will be the part where you have to go through to install Windows XP; this should take about 25 minutes.
Third part, download "SDL.ZIP" after the installation completes. Extract the SDL.ZIP, now go into the folder and where it says "Blank_Disk" Rename it to "c" and transfer it to SDL Folder. Afterwards, go into the SDL folder, and double click the text document called "bochsrc" find where it says path="c.img" Right there delete the .img so it should be renamed as path="c" then top left click file Save it and close it. From there, transfer the whole SDL folder to the root of your SD Card or Internal Storage in your android device.
Last and final step, Install the "Bochs.apk". On your android device, launch the BOCHS Application, and hopefully it will boot Windpws XP on your device. If it doesn't work, it's probably the ISO you used, so try another. So remember this isn't going to take fast. You might want to wait 5-10 minutes until you see Windows XP load up on your phone. Overall, the performance is slow. Even after the 10 minutes. Like I said, this is a very nice grou of concept, but has literally no use to it.
Hope you try this out guys! Pretty cool thing to try out.
