- Real-time emulator
- Posted by Uplink on March 19th, 2006
I need a Windows emulator that emulates in real-time. I mean not a
emulated CPU but using my real CPU. I'v tried VMWare Microsoft Virtual
PC. They are sluggish. Is there a real-time emulator or whatever it's
called.

timing of anything.
2) You did not say *what* you want to emulate; be X-rated and state
eXplicitly what you would like to do.
3) Why "real-time"; again specify the timing constraints and precision
desired.

Here are the emulators that I use.
1. Bochs (this was slow last time I tried - but I haven't tried the
latest version).
2. QEMU (this is easier to setup, but is command line based. It still
not that fast).
3. QEMU + KQEMU (this is probably what you are looking for. A
virtualisation software.)
QEMU with QEMU Accelerator (KQEMU) runs very well on my computer, but
you do need a powerful enough computer to expect it to run. Even with
the best virtualisation software if your computer has no power in the
first place you won't get very far!
I also use QEMU Manager to cut out all the command line loading. It is
much easier and quicker than using the command line.

KQEMU must be installed separately from the Official QEMU website
http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/
To ensure KQEMU is installed correctly, with QEMU running press
CTRL-ALT-2 and you will get the QEMU console. Into the console type
'info kqemu' (without the quotation marks). It will tell you the status
of KQEMU. Press CTRL-ALT-1 to get back to the emulator normal mode.
Hope this helps you, its extremely easy to do with QEMU Manager.

What I'm going to emulate: Windows 9x betas mostly (Chicago, Memphis).
It is mostly for early Win 9x line. Usually alphas and un released betas
