Running emulators on v86

[hello-smile6]

@copy Would it be possible to run a 64-bit VM within v86?

Sure, why not?

@JaydenDev What's the equivalent to chrome://gpuclean on Ubuntu 10?

@copy How do I make v86 boot from a ReadableStream with async enabled?

Okay, I tried launch qemu 1.5 (x86_64) in ReactOS v.0.4.14 through v86. Unfortunately, I can't run any image. This works buggy and slowly, but it's works! :D

@SuperMaxusa Try running a 64-bit Floppy Bird build.

@Unzor Judging from the network activity, they didn't download it, so they put the exe on a hard disk image and booted from it with v86

You can easily run dosbox-svn and DOSBox-X.
Download and unpack the image prepared by me.
copy.sh-linux-dosbox.zip

Load vmlinuz as kernel image and initrd as dosbox.sqf or dosbox-x.sqf and hit start emulation.
After exiting dosbox(-x), if you want to login on the console, press enter or alt-f2.

Don't expect any extraordinary speed. Remember that this is an emulator running in the emulator. Considering this, both work tolerably.

x86 emulation under dosbox is slower than for example under qemu (tcg), but the DOS compatibility is amazing.

Minimal Linux 2.4.36 image with qemu-0.12.5 (static version) and Linux 4.19.254 x86_64.
qemu.copy.sh.img.zip

The x86_64 system loads very slowly but in an acceptable time. Although you have to be patient. Load the image as Hard drive disk image. After logging in, press the up arrow and enter.

The kernel has no acpi support, so poweroff doesn't work as it should. If you want to quit Qemu, switch to the other console (alt-f2) and type pkill -QUIT qemu (you won't do this in graphical mode).
Qemu is built with SDL1. In graphics mode it works only with framebuffer (fbcon). If you run on a system where gpm is not running you must export the SDL_NOMOUSE=1 environment variable or declare it when starting qemu.

Qemu itself.
qemu-0.12.5-i686-static.tar.xz.zip
It should work on most linux x86_32 (64) systems. It's a very old version, but runs much faster under copy.sh than the much newer versions.
