You would have to be either a real masochist or a falling victim to nostalgia if all you can think of is getting Windows 95 onto your Sony PSP. Now there is a way to run Windows 95 and Linux on your (overclocked) PSP by using a port of the open-source x86 emulator Bochs:

Windows 95 actually runs quite well but don't expect it to be a speed demon. It takes about 10 minutes to boot but afterwards it's pretty usable. I was able to do things like: open "My computer" and browse the virtual hard drive, complete a whole game of Minesweeper and run various other applications. Now you too can get your Minesweeper fix on the go
