It's incredibly slow and networking isn't working :feelsblobman:

>15 minutes
>only 2 min progress in installer
I know XP installer by heart. I've run it countless times on my ancient, now long dead, machine. If it runs THIS slow, it's probably not gonna be very usable. Although, there's still a chance the problem isn't the emulated processor speed, but rather phone storage speed.

@alyx I know. I don't expect good performance. It's the emulation speed. Modern phone storage is quite fast.

@alyx @matrix >using vnc viewer to access a shitty vm

shit fam give me 10 minutes
@alyx @matrix okay i didn't have xp iso on hand but you can run these natively almost in a full featured VM with passthrough even on mobile devices
@alyx @matrix first install of xp is 50% complete after 5 minutes this is on an iphone as well btw
@matrix @alyx to product key was another 5 minutes took me a minute to find the right product key but now its finishing in total install of windows xp professional on a mobile device is about 15 minutes
@matrix @alyx iphone 12 mini its jailbroken but this VM program runs without jailbreak as well its about to boot into the desktop

@mona @alyx I just checked and in 3D Mark the 12 mini is 2 times faster than my phone. Plus I have the Exynos version which sucks ass at emulation. So I guess your performance makes sense.

@matrix @alyx yeah the phone is pretty fast everyone loves to shit on apple but their SOC is top tier
@matrix @alyx they've made their own mobile chips since 2006 so their laptops are insane and their phones are top tier in performance as well
@matrix @alyx yes! as i said even without jailbreak it has native passthrough and can tap into the iphone or ipads gpu to play windows games

@mona @alyx Now I want an iPhone so I can install VMs on the go

@matrix @alyx as ive said for years a jailbroken iphone is the best smart phone you can buy but you dont even need a jailbreak anymore for a lot of crazy shit you can do

@mona @alyx Indeed, when I had an iPhone and iPad they were legit pleasure to use when jailbroken (unless I borked them)

@matrix @alyx what bugs me is that android VMs run in this weird ram loaded mode and also need VNC viewer to display desktop and sound doesn't work 90% of the time vs with UMT you can load a complete OS on any ios device with fully working everything they even have support for full windows 11 and most mainline linux
@matrix @alyx the app is called UTM if you are jailbroken a cydia install works but you can also side load with full features still they also have native support for the major linux distros but also any iso you wanna shove in it
