Description

86Box is an open-source PC emulator. It is designed to emulate old x86-based computers and operating systems, allowing users to run old software and games that may no longer be compatible with modern computers. It is also useful for running Windows operating systems such as Windows 3.1, Windows 95, and Windows 98 in a virtualized environment. The emulator utilizes a library of virtual hardware devices such as hard drives, network cards, and video cards that are all simulated. The user can configure the virtual hardware to match the requirements of the software or game being run. Additionally, 86Box supports a range of peripherals such as joysticks, mice, and keyboards. The emulator also supports debugging and tracing to help users identify and solve problems with the software or game being run.
