Trying to emulate a PC with BOCHS
Quite a regular
Quite a regular


See User information
Hi

My problem is from time ago and I don't have the patience
or basic skills to configure and run BOCHS to emulate
a PC or AMD Windows computer.
My main interest about this is to access the "new" possibilities that offers a PC today.You know Internet Explorer,e-mail,chat or games ar in the mouth of PC users
right now I think that is a beatiful oportunity for us to
make the world see that an Amiga computer can execute and
emulate a PC as it was a real PC.

So what are your experiences on BOCHS emulator?

Can anybody give a mini-guide to open a new world on my
Amiga One computer?

What's the best way to install Windows on this and what's the best supported or emulated version of Windows?

If any gives me a simple steps to make this happen I will be so grateful with you really.

Cheers

IMHO Bochs is way too slow to be of much use currently.

Yes, too slow for any serious use.

However I think it would be good for testing AROS stuff. I made some attempt to install AROS under BOCHS to test my Hollywood apps., but did not find a way to start it.

It complains about VGA features, and I am not able to set proper vga bios.

Is there anybody, who made it succefully boot AROSx86?

Bye!

OK too slow maybe better for a future 2.0 GHZ Amiga no?
But in the meantime is there too difficult to run Bochs?
Can anybody show me the basics to configure the emulator
on OS 4.0?

You could boot Win95, but network doesn't work and CirrusLogic/VESA emulation doesn't work very well.

Anyway it's too slow for serious use...

You'd better try to port QEmu as it should be way faster than Bochs
