Now it is possible that you can use Windows 98 on your Symbian S60 mobile phone. With a software named DOSBox, you can easily run Windows 98 successfully on Symbian smartphones such as N95 and Nokia 5800( 128MB RAM required).
How it Works
- First Download DOSBox latest release from here [link]
- Create a directory in your phone memory card e:\dos\windows\’
- Extract and copy all files of Windows 98 in this directory
- Now create a directory E:\data
- Install DOSBox in E:\data and set this path in dosbox.conf file
- Modify image mount path in dosbox.conf as ;
Imgmount c e:\cdos\win98\w98.img -t hdd -fs fat -size 512,63,16,518
Boot -l c
(you can modify or add image mount path by opening dosbox.conf file on Notepad)
- Run DOSBox and enjoy Windows 98 on your Symbian mobile
Note: It will not affect your Symbian OS because it is just an emulator and not an installed Windows 98

It installs 98lite professional which is a ripped version of 98. You can see here what you can do with it.
