Windows 95 on PS4; demo video shows Win95 games – Silent Steel, the submarine game and Pea Shootin’ Pete

It’s already settled that PS4 can double up as a PC, though not an extremely capable one. Taking it a step further, or rather back into the past, we have M7L MISOZ DEV working on what seems to be like a fully-functional Windows 95 native port for PS4.

Windows 95 on a relatively modern system like the PS4 might not excite everyone. But, such attempts demonstrate the various possibilities on the PS4, while inspiring further development. We will talk about this later.

Windows 95 on PS4: Demo Videos

The dev behind the project, M7L MISOZ DEV, has shared a few videos on X showing Windows 95 for PS4 in action.

Windows 95 booting on PS4

As you can see, he starts it by launching a package on the PS4 XMB. So, if or when it launches, it might be available as an FPKG for anyone with a jailbroken PS4 to try.

Windows 95 on PS4 includes the full suite of programs, and one of the best games is the submarine game. I am currently working on resolving a few remaining issues, having already achieved excellent results

Why is Windows 95 on PS4 interesting?

Let’s come back to that question. Windows OSes generally require a BIOS or UEFI to boot, both of which are not easily accessible on a PS4. PS4 Linux became a possibility because of a Unix program called kexec, which allows you to replace the kernel and initram images without rebooting. Since Orbis OS is just modified FreeBSD, kexec was available. And, that’s what the fail0verflow team utilised, to run Linux on the PS4.

But, kexec doesn’t work for Windows OSes, as there’s no kernel or initram image per se. That being said, it was never impossible to run a non-Linux OS on the PS4. But, it’s interesting to see that the dev here was able to package everything into a PS4 application. It still has to be seen how all of this was achieved. And, that’s what makes it interesting for me.

The dev does mention in a comment that he tried Windows 7, but, it was sluggish at the moment.

Conclusion

I’d like to add that I haven’t yet verified this personally and have no idea about when or if this would be made available to the public. But, anyways, as I said earlier, this is definitely interesting.
