I have seen that ther is a java machine emu and i thought:"There are a lot of java game....and if GP32 could run a little win emu?" I mean if anyone could do an emu to run little win apps or little games? Yes i know that is really difficult but i think that's possible beacuse my old 486 could run win 3.1 so why our little treasure can't do that?
 
Windows 3.1 is a shell for MSDOS, and Windows 9x is a layer ontop of a special version of "MSDOS for Windows". You'd need something like dosbox ported.

I'm not sure what this has to do with Java, which uses a virtual machine designed to be platform independent (or at least highly portable). DOS is a platform in itself, not an interpreter...
 
what do u mean? I can't understand (sorry my english isn't perfect yet:( )
 
OK, lemme recap, and tell me if this is right...

Your Idea: A Windows 3.1 Emulator for the GP32

Problem: Windows 3.1 needs MS-DOS

Solution: Port an MS-DOS Emulator to the GP32 first

Problem: It will be difficult, and no one is working on it yet
