QEMU No One Lives Forever (2000, 2002) -- Virtualization Operative in H.A.R.M.'s Way
6"What does H.A.R.M. stand for? -- An END to the Accuracy **\*BS\*** in PC Emulation for Retro PC Gaming"
QEMU isn't accurate. So WHAT? Neither is any of the "Trash"Boxes nor the "JUNK_PC"em. Only the RETARDED would have believed it that way. Apparently the later has been DEAD. (as wished by none other than its Creator) Afterall, whoever picked up the trash don't seem to bother. While other "Trash"Boxes remain, their LAUGHABLE Voodoos performance and FOOLS' pretense in not delivering Virtualization and/or GPU Acceleration remain a BIG JOKE for being relevant in Retro PC Gaming.
"Any pass-through/virtualization evangelism would be massively missing the point and often introduce variables of stability and bloat that won't hold in the long term.(TM)" -- **\*PCem is 0xDEAD\*** 🤣. Well, other than QEMU featuring qemu-3dfx, SoftGPU also brings 3D acceleration for Windows 98 VMs on VMware and VirtualBox. VirtIO-GPU Gallium3D-based OpenGL and D3D10UMD are now heading for modern Windows guests. Google ChromeOS Crostini VM is based on all-VirtIO peripherals. Cycle-accurate 8086??! Cool, though **\*USELESS\*** for Games!!🤣🤣
"A dev-branch "Trash"Box can do Linux VFIO and pass-through Quadro FX GPU." -- For that kind of sluggish performance on CPU emulation in the name of Accuracy **\*BS\*** , isn't VFIO PCI pass-through yet another BIG JOKE?!!🤣🤣 Even a high-end Pentium III 1GHz with Geforce FX period-correct setup is no match for QEMU Windows 98 VMs. For those just want to play Good Old Games, building retro PCs just for that is getting nowhere near the BEST experience & performance on QEMU virtual machines. The "other camp" simply wish for the world to have never discovered such TRUTH. Dual/Triple Booting is just another lame modern-day's idea for any EOL'ed legacy Windows such as Windows 98/ME/XP. We had all paid for Virtualization hardware capabilities in modern CPUs.
QEMU virtual machines are versatile, deliver High-Availability of modern computing, peace-of-mind isolation and more retro gaming play-time, simply because there is just one machine for Work, Play and Retro Gaming. Have FUN!
