Bochs is a portable x86 emulator mostly written in C++ and distributed as free software under GNU Lesser General Public License. It supports emulation of the processor(s) (including protected mode), memory, disks, display, Ethernet, BIOS and common hardware peripherals of PCs.
Bochs is mostly used for operating system development (when an emulated operating system crashes, it does not crash the host operating system, so the emulated OS can be debugged) and to run other guest operating systems inside already running host operating systems. It can also be used to run older software – such as computer games – which will not run on non-compatible, or too fast, computers.
Currently supported operating systems: 1.Windows 98 2.Windows 95 3.Windows NT
