Has anyone tried the QEMU open source X86 emulator? http://www.qemu.org/ http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/ BTW it now appears to be called Q. http://www.kju-app.org/kju/ > Run Windows, Linux and a lot more Systems on your Mac. Q is a feature packed > cocoa port of QEMU: Switch fast between guest PCs. Save and restart guest PCs > at any stage. Easily exchange Files between Host and Guest. Q makes use of OS > X most advanced technologies like openGL, quartz and coreaudio to accelerate > your experience with your guest PC.

Yes, on a PPC Mac, QEMU is an alternative to VPC, but IMO, VPC is much more polished. > > Has anyone tried the QEMU open source X86 emulator? > > http://www.qemu.org/ [quoted text clipped - 8 lines] > Yes, on a PPC Mac, QEMU is an alternative to VPC, but IMO, VPC is much > more polished. There are a few different shareware / freeware PC emulators for the Mac, but they're all more difficult to set-up then Virtual PC becuase they're created by "geeks" for "geeks" so require playing with all sorts of settings. They also tend to be less compatible than Virtual PC, but can be marginally faster. Helpful Harry Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o) Well there are commercial products that use QEMU with nice GUI front ends. http://www.openosx.com/wintel/index.html http://www.iemulator.com/ I've not used OpenOSX since then went from BOCHS to QEMU. I have the latest iEmulator and it works pretty good. And for about $20 it's not that bad a price either.

IYO which is better? I have VPC 7 /XP Pro, but thought I'd try on of these out of interest. Well I posted a response similar to a this a week or two ago but don't know how to reference a link back to this with testing and possibly wasting a lot of bandwidth so here's my response from a little while back.

But having said that VPC 7.02 does the best job speed wise and is more polished all the way around.

I'm still using Mac OS 9, so I haven't used any of the newer software ... in fact I'm still using Virtual PC 3 quite happily. :o) Helpful Harry Hopefully helping harassed humans happily handle handiwork hardships ;o) Yes I agree of all the emulators out there VPC 7.02 is the best in almost all aspects.
