README
# windows95
This is Windows 95, running in an [Electron](https://electronjs.org/) app. Yes, it's the full thing. I'm sorry.

## Does it work?
Yes! Quite well, actually - on macOS, Windows, and Linux. Bear in mind that this is written entirely in JavaScript, so please adjust your expectations.
## 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.
## Credits
99% of the work was done over at [v86](https://github.com/copy/v86/) by Copy aka Fabian Hemmer and his contributors.

Before you can run this from source, you'll need the disk image. It's not part of the
repository, but you can grab it using the `Show Disk Image` button from the packaged
release, which does include the disk image. You can find that button in the
`Modify C: Drive` section.
Unpack the `images` folder into the `src` folder, creating this layout:
```
- /images/windows95.img
- /images/default-state.bin
- /assets/...
- /bios/...
- /docs/...
```
Once you've done so, run `npm install` and `npm start` to run your local build.
If you want to tinker with the image or make a new one, check out the [QEMU docs](./docs/qemu.md).
