Successfully installed Windows XP on Nintendo Switch

Recently, an account on the social network Reddit called We1etu1n, has posted photos of a Nintendo Switch gaming machine running on Windows XP, causing many people to be amazed and excited. Although the version of Windows XP used to install is just a version that runs emulator via L4T Linux and QEMU, We1etu1n can still play 3D Pinball at maximum speed.

Regarding the method of installing Windows XP on the Nintendo Switch, We1etu1n said he installed QEMU to set up 10 GB of hard disk space and then installed Win XP on QEMU like a virtual machine. In addition, he uses the Cinnamon DE combination to use the Nintendo Switch as a desktop.

We1etu1n takes 6 hours to complete the entire installation process.
