TUTORIAL: Installing Linux and Windows XP on iPhone or iPad (Video)

If you have ever wondered how you can install Linux or Windows XP on your iPhone or iPad, two mobile terminals running the iOS operating system, well today you will find out all the details. In the video clips of this article, you have described in detail the procedures for installing Linux and Windows XP in iPhone and iPad, but only in terminals that have jailbreak already done

I told you in the past how to install Windows 95/98 on iPhone and iPad who have jailbreak, but today we are talking about how you can install Linux and Windows XP on iPhone and iPad, a utility called BOCHS helping you This utility is available in a repo of Cydia for us, but it must be used in tandem with programs such as iFunxbox or iExplorer to go through the process.

BOCHS is an emulator for iOS which allows running Linux and Windows XP on iPhone and iPad, so you will have a relatively good experience, but not extraordinary, so don't expect anything else. Considering that running this emulator requires considerable resources, you can imagine for yourself that new iDevices will run everything best, while old iDevices will have quite big performance problems.

The two video clips describe in detail the procedures you have to complete to do it installing Windows XP and Linux on iPhone and iPad and it would be good to follow them closely. Unfortunately, I cannot confirm that the procedures work without problems because I did not follow them because I do not have a jailbreak on any terminal, so you do everything at your own risk.

As you probably already know, you can jailbreak only on iOS 8.1.2 or an older version of the operating system, and here you can find the appropriate tutorial, but any newer version is not exploitable. It will have to be downloaded separately available here the Windows installation kit, available here the Linux installation kit, and available here the kit for installing iFunbox in terminals.

Finally, you need to add the Cydia repo: http://cydia.myrepospace.com/Jujul98/ for the BOCHS installation, and thus complete the circle of what is needed for the installation.
