Bochs x86 PC emulator

vbt - Jun 24, 2006

			http://sourceforge.net/projects/bochs/... Who tried this ? It can emulate instructions that are not available on your PC. Does it mean I could run SSF on my Athlon XP ?

			I tried it ages ago and it was s.l.o.w. Props for the devs doing it, but even if it can do what you ask, SSF would probably render a frame every day or so.

Right, I tried it some month ago.

I succed to install win95 under GNU/Linux with Bochs but it takes ages to boot !

			Yeah, AFAIK Bochs is mainly used by operating system developers, although even many of them seem to be moving to QEMU nowadays.

Unfortunatly QEMU works only on Linux

			Where did you hear that? It runs on Windows, FreeBSD, NetBSD, MacOS X and Solaris as well...

I checked on sourceforge or there http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/index.html..., I noticed there was something to boost speed on PC CPU but nothing for Windows. I'll check again, I'm blind.

			There aren't pre-built binaries for anything other than Linux/i386 on the site.
