This means that newer modern web browsers, firewalls, anti-virus solutions and many more key pieces of software probably won't run properly, if it all. Note the limitations of running Windows XP, which is a very dated piece of software that has reached it's end of life.Most things in the OS should operate normally, however you may run into compatibility problems with hardware due to emulated conditions.Virtualize Windows XP with a running version of QEMU and attach the video to the QEMU instance.This step requires research on your part. Compile QEMU with whatever requirements that Windows XP needs to emulate.Get a linux distribution of your choice to run on RPI, like Debian, Ubuntu, etc.To give you an idea of the steps that would be required, it would look something like this. However, it would be an interesting experiment to try. I don't know what kind of performance you could get and it might even prove to be unusable. Looking at the minimum system requirements of Windows XP and then comparing those to Raspberry Pi's specifications, at a glance I would say it's possible to virtualize XP. It should be noted that this guide was primarily written with an Android operating system in mind, however one with enough experience can get a minimal Linux OS running on the rPI, say Debian, Linux Mint or lubuntu and then attempt to get QEMU compiled.

Now you can have full desktop windows/linux experience on your Android smartphones.
There are also guides that have ported Windows 95, 98, XP and other x86 system to run on many ARM devices.įrom the guide: Now you can run x86 based operating systems on your ARM device. This setup requires that QEMU be compiled and running with a specific configuration.
#Raspbian windows xp skin mac os x
I have first hand experience with getting Mac OS X Mavericks running on an ARM HDMI stick, primarily aimed at running Android on a TV. That said, it IS entirely possible to run x86 systems on an ARM device if it meets the standard requirements.
In fact, it's generally never a good idea to claim something as impossible. Just because it hasn't been done yet (which it has), it's not appropriate to say it's impossible. TL DR Yes it is possible to virtualize Windows XP on an ARM device such as Raspberry Pi.įor anyone saying that this isn't possible needs to re-evaluate what "possible" means.
