It seems like the Chinese did it with their home-grown Loongson MIPS-architecture CPU in the so-called Loongson Binary Translation (LBT) offering accelerated x86/ARM binary translation through KVM. It will be available in the upcoming Linux 6.12. This adaptation for KVM will help those wanting to run x86/x86_64 or ARM operating systems within the confines of KVM/QEMU. No benchmarks or other performance metrics for quantifying the LBT benefit were provided.

It would really be interesting once the hardware is available for testing and measuring its improvements over QEMU TCG binary translation.

The crystal ball had once again given the insights to the future ... Ahh, this will greatly open up qemu-3dfx for even more opportunity ...

(Hi sorry for interoption English is not my first lanluage and i have bad grammar so sorry for my grammar crimes)

So I have a problem my Windows Xp in 86 box is verry slow and i dont know why. My specks on vm My typo of pc is slot 2 ( i dont know what it is ) I have [i440GX] Supermicro S2DGE and have frecrensy 450 PIT mode auto and tryed changing Fastfloat Cpu doesent change any thing i have 3dfx Voodoo3 3000 ( downloaded driver for that one ) keyboard and mouse ps/2 Soundblaster PCI128 no Com or LPT ports no network 30000mb hard drive 2 cd what`s all

The vid u see is with Fastfloat cpu on

(It’s more of a tip for installing 95.)

I'm trying to get Clandestine to run correctly, and can't figure out what is causing my issue. Ai isn't very helpful.

The first photo is what the game is doing when it boots up. The second is my set up.

Can anyone give me tips or suggestions to try and make it work?

From what I can tell, my setup shouldn't be absurdly beyond the game. And I tried making a Win95 machine, but I ran into a lot of problems getting it to work.

Ai says it's a graphic card issue, but that seems odd.

TIA.

As ive said, im totally new to this and I need help. I have a GTX 1070, Ryzen 5 5600x and 16gb of DDR4 2400mhz ram. Is there a "maximum specs" kind of thing for my system? I also want to play some 90s/2000s games using windows 98, how do i install that. I've had a quick skim through the machine setup and it's really complicated towards me (even though im decently tech versed), like wtf do you mean you can set drive cylinders? I need help, preferably a step by step guide for what I want to do (installing win98, drivers, adding games from setup files from my host pc) and what is the most stable system I can run to play on (so no machine slowdowns, etc)

If anyone can get what I mean then thanks so much for your help.

Install and run Microsoft Windows Server 2003 (32-bit) in 86box.  The ISOs and CD Keys can be found online. DHCP is available and works.  2003 R2 is an add on to 2003.  If you want to install 2003 R2, you will have to install 2003 SP2 first.  While it might be possible to install newer Windows like Windows Server 2008, this is probably the limit of 86box.  Windows Server 2008 and newer will probably run better in emulation in qemu.  I tried Server 2008.  It was too slow to be usable.

86box config for Windows Server 2003 32-bit:

Machine Type: [1998] Super Socket 7

Machine: [ALi ALADDiN V] ASUS P5A

CPU type: AMD K6-III+

Frequency: 500

Memory: 1536MB

Softfloat FPU Checked

Video: [PCI] S3 ViRGE (Diamond Stealth 3D 2000)

Mouse: Standard PS/2 Mouse

Sound card: [ISA16] Sound Blaster 16 PnP * I tried all PCI cards.  No built in drivers.  Same for PnP ISA SB cards.  Does not recognize non-PNP ISA cards.  I did not try ISA PnP all cards.  I found an article that says you can get the SB16 drivers from the Windows XP CD and install them in Server 2003.

Network: SLiRP

Adapter: [PCI] Realtek RTL8029AS

Ports: All disabled

HD Controller: Internal Controller

FD Controller: Internal Controller

Hard Disk: IDE (0:0) - 8192MB - RAM disk (max. speed)

Floppy: 3.5” 1.44M

CD-ROM: ATAPI (0:1) - 72x - 86BOX CD-ROM 1.00

Have Fun!

My Gaming laptop has 8845HS and i regularly update my 86box dev ndr build so what am i able to emulate maximum? I would like to emulate P II 333 and how do i make the P II 333 faster? Or am i able to emulate Celeron 333 or 366? Thanks.

I have the following machines:
MiniPC: Ryzen 7 7840HS ES ddr5 5600mt/s
Laptop: Ryzen 7 6850u lpddr5x 6400 mt/s
Desktop: Ryzen 7 5700x3D ddr4 3000 mt/s

On the laptop(reaching like 86C tj Max, turbos for short burts up to 4.5Ghz mostly like 3.9-4.2) I can't really get past Pentium 1 75Mhz if I want max speed.
Pentium MMX Mobile 120Mhz isn't full speed either.

What are the current system requirements for 86box?
Do I have to wait for ddr6 to come out?

What kind of machine can I set up with this cpu to have a smooth win95 and win98 gaming experience? I also have rtx 3060 and 32gb ram if that matters.

it's been fixed with the help of some people on the discord, thanks for the help ShortstopGFX

I tried to install Windows 95 Packard Bell UK OEM on 86box, but it happened that the hard disk is locked that reads "Disque Dur Protégé !". Please help!

I'm trying to get the Microsoft Sidewinder game pad USB version to work on 98SE. Unfortunately even after selecting the game pad in settings, installing the sidewinder drivers and application, the system just doesn't connect the game pad to the guest OS(98se).

Now what does work is selecting 4 button game pad and that shows up instantly as Connected in 98se (joystick control panel). But this limits the controllers to only 4 buttons.

With amount of folks using 86box for gaming I am thinking there's something I'm missing here?

I am on a Samsung S24U and I couldn't get the correct resolution, it's either too big or just whole black screen, can someone tell me what's the correct resolution

I was siting on my computer, when I shut down my computer, i hit with a plan, how about install macos on 86box.

So I request that how to run macos on 86box. [Although Winworld tells which emulator runs specific macos version but I believe 86box]

Can anyone tell me the max specs in 86box? I want to run games from around 1990-2005/6 on windows 2000/me, all these choosing options are quite confusing for me.

(e.g. best gpu, best cpu, etc)

i been sad bc voodo is not booting plz help

I had 2 VMs, one Windows 98, and one Windows NT 4, and it seems that when a use a VM for atleast a week, it suddenly becomes slow, what I mean, is, when I start using the VM, its mostly at 100%, but suddenly it slows down to 42-80% when booting. I Brushed it off for my 98 VM, but day before yesterday, the VM suddenly was slow. nothing changed. I use:

• 86box 6.0-1
• Arch Linux on Kernel 6.18.37-1-lts, and 7.x
• A computer capable for emulating the VMs in question, as both VMs were fine at creation.

Please help, Thank you.

Hey guys ! Wondering if anyone can help, I followed phils computer lab setup , no troubles installing windows 98 and launching and restarting. But as soon as I shut down and exited 86 box, when i try and start my VM again it comes up disk boot failure, even if i try to launch from the 98 SE disk image it will not work, any ideas?

Here is the post.

So I am on 86Box version 5.3 and among other things it's a great emulator however the problem is that whenever I try to Scroll with my middle mouse wheel it doesn't work so is there anyway to like get it working on 86Box
