Short: Bochs is an open source x86 emulator Author: Various, port by Vladimir Berezenko Uploader: polluks sdf lonestar org (Stefan Haubenthal) Type: misc/emu Version: 2.3.6 Requires: MorphOS Architecture: ppc-morphos Distribution: Aminet Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Currently, Bochs can be compiled to emulate a 386, 486, Pentium/PentiumII/PentiumIII/Pentium4 or x86-64 CPU, including optional MMX, SSEx and 3DNow! instructions. Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation, for example Linux, DOS, Windows 95/98/NT/2000/XP or Windows Vista. Bochs was written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by the Bochs project at "http://bochs.sourceforge.net". Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are still in development. The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. This allows you to run OS's and software within the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine inside of a machine. Bochs will allow you to run Windows applications on a Solaris machine with X11, for example.
