![]() SoundBlaster is not detected by ReactOS at all. but, when you restart ReactOS, it again claims the sound drivers are not installed. Attempting to install HDA sound drivers leads to their successful installation. So, my guess would be that, even if I manage to run Windows 10 on it, it wouldn't be very useful after all.ġ) Attempting to install AC97 sound drivers on ReactOS leads to a BSOD. Enabling hardware acceleration such as KVM helps a little, but not much. It's annoying, I still haven't found a way to run Windows 10 in it.Ģ) Guest Additions fail to run on ReactOS.ģ) It runs significantly slower than VirtualBox, and it can be seen if you try to run multiple apps in ReactOS at the same time. So, it basically requires you to set up everything by yourself. At lest it's good enough for Prince of Persia 1 to run well.ġ) QEMU, unlike VirtualBox, has the same default settings for all operating systems. From what I've read, it appears that the ARM emulation is good enough to be useful.Ģ) No Invalid Opcode errors randomly popping up in FreeDOS and requiring you to reset the virtual machine.ģ) Emulates AdLib sound card, PC speaker and apparently correctly emulates SoundBlaster, so you can get the sound in DOS games. Though those bugs appear not affect the most useful programs, such as Microsoft Office or compilers, it can still be annoying.Ģ) There appears to be no way to get sound to work in FreeDOS, even if you enable SoundBlaster emulation.ġ) It claims to be able to emulate many processors that don't belong to the x86 family. On FreeDOS website, there are instructions about how to prevent that from happening during installation, but it doesn't happen just during installation. And in FreeDOS, you sometimes get inexplicable Invalid Opcode errors in the kernel (which require you to reset the VM), which don't happen in QEMU. Disabling hardware acceleration makes it possible to run Windows Media Player with visualizations, but the problems with Kodu and DosBox remain even if all hardware acceleration is disabled. ![]() If you run Windows 10 in VirtualBox, you'll run into BSOD after running DosBox for around half an hour, and after running Kodu for a few minutes, and immediately after running Windows Media Player with visualizations enabled. ReactOS appears not to have problems with those, but Windows 10 and FreeDOS do. ![]() It can also be done in QEMU, but not with default settings.ġ) Annoying emulation bugs that cause operating systems to crash. QEMU Guest Additions simply fail to install under ReactOS with "Entry Point Not Found" error.Ĥ) ReactOS can connect to the Internet with default settings. I can change which ISO image is mounted once I already started the virtual machine, and there is no obvious way to do that in QEMU.ģ) Usable Guest Additions. So, it's useful for running Windows Apps under Oracle Linux, since I get a BSOD if I try to install Windows 10 directly on my computer, and WINE also doesn't work well under Oracle Linux (and I get Kernel Panic when I try to install Ubuntu, probably because of the NVIDIA drivers).Ģ) Useful GUI. If you have something to comment, please do!ġ) Can run Windows 10 without much tweaking (I haven't even managed to run Windows 10 in QEMU). I am using virtualization software for running software that isn't runnable on Linux, including Microsoft Office and some programming tools (mostly for LOGO) for Windows, and including old DOS games, my favorite being Prince of Persia. So, I will try to summarize my experience with virtualization software here.
