Several +emulation modes are available. In some modes, processors and +surrounding hardware components are emulated well enough to let +unmodified operating systems (e.g. NetBSD) run as if they were running +on a real machine. + +The emulator is written in C, does not depend on third-party +libraries, and should compile and run on most 64-bit and 32-bit +Unix-like systems, with few or no modifications. + +Devices and processors are not simulated with 100% accuracy. They are +only "faked" well enough to allow guest operating systems to run +without complaining too much. Still, the emulator could be of interest +for academic research and experiments, such as when learning how to +write operating system code. -- cgit v1.2.3
