is it possible to make a separate operating system like winows that can run exe files but is preloaded with scarscape and scar nothing else

sure, if you want to write at least 5 million lines- thats how much windows 95 was :)

No, he just wants to run those programs, you can steel the win32 api and write a simple os that can run exe files quite easily. For instance: http://www.jbox.dk/sanos/ is an operating system built to run just a jvm

So you could have an "Windows->Java-run" OS?

i just want an os that is small and barely uses any ram all it has is
-scar
-scarscape
-internet
-java

sure, assuming that all of the pre-existent basic operating instructions in the ROM, are in fact existent.

Benland, he wants to be able to run all exe

Rofl, that would be cool for a VM :D

Thats, pretty much, what Tiny XP.

not really tiny xp would take up more space than this

You might be able to convert SCAR and and Internet browser into machine code. Bu then you'd…. Forget it.

The real question is, wouldn't you just be converting from machine code to machine code? :) I think you're trying to convey taking scar out of exe form and putting it into raw form. But even then you would be lacking all of the crap that Windows so nicely makes avaliable. Like the mouse for instance, or the ability to run Runescape and Scar at the same time, or the standard C library. Without the C library you're high-and-dry :)

Thats what the "…Forget about it" was for Ben. I realized that :p.
