[PROJECT]My own windows(98) simulator in lua, not the usualy images...(NOT RELEASE)

[Xarro]

Hi,remember my Lua API? i recreated they like windows 98, now you are saying:

"Bha, always the same stupid portal..."

NO! this time isn't a portal,yes is made with lua but...
the best feature i want/i have created are:

1)Have real windows directory
2)The desktop is REAL not an image, it have real icon from(C/Document and setting/User0/desktop)(Notice the C/ and not C:/ becaose is a fake drive)
3)you can move icons on desktop! and open files on desktop (for now only folders but you can see what contain)
4)taskbar with clock created complety in the program, no images
5) window can be closed or moved (i'm workig on maximize and minimize)
6)Api for now only checkbox and scrollbar but is a start...
7)Error message (to finish)

Oh lawd, exactly what I was thinking.

Just a question to Xarro, what exactly is the point of this? Just having a fake Windows 98 on your PSP for.. fun?

[Xarro]

Yes but also because you got a file browser like win 98,clock and lot of thing i want add in windows style, you don't like it?

[chrisw92]

why would people want windows on there psp? if you change the images to linux people may have more intrest in it. still looks good

[Xarro]

can be an idea|

the PSP is meant for gaming not to be a desktop computer!

Realy how hard is this to understand?

I second that. We have great interfaces such as the XMB to provide us this stuff, rather then an interface that is extremly annoying to control, if you want Windows style, take a Windows XMB theme, instead of coding a completly new useless replacement.

Just to reitterate, these windows "simulators" are pretty much useless. If it doesn't run exe's I don't want to know. And this thread is pointless. Only make a thread once your work has been completed.
