Welcome to the Bochs IA-32 Emulator Project
    Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in
C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel x86
CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Bochs can be compiled to emulate
many different x86 CPUs, from early 386 to the most recent x86-64 Intel and AMD
processors which may even not reached the market yet.
Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation
including Linux, DOS or Microsoft Windows. Bochs was originally written by Kevin
Lawton and is currently maintained by this project.
    Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are still
in development. The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC
emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. This
allows you to run OS's and software within the emulator on your workstation,
much like you have a machine inside of a machine. For instance, let's say your
workstation is a Unix/X11 workstation, but you want to run Win'95 applications.
Bochs will allow you to run Win 95 and associated software on your Unix/X11
workstation, displaying a window on your workstation, simulating a monitor on a
PC.

Bochs 2.8 released on March 10, 2024 !
The first Bochs release after transitioning from SVN to GIT on GitHub is now
available. You can download it from the Bochs project page on SourceForge. See
the CHANGES file for details on what has changed since release 2.7

Bochs at ISCA-35
Bochs was presented at ISCA-35 in Beijing, China at "The 1st Workshop on
Architectural and Microarchitectural Support for Binary Translation" by a paper
"Virtualization without direct execution - designing a portable VM".

Help Wanted
We currently need help with the following tasks:
 * Bug Reports: Mouse, interrupt controller, timer, IDE controller, network
   card, keyboard, VGA... Most of our bug reports and feature requests are due
   to incomplete C++ models of the various PC devices. To improve this, we need
   PC Hardware Gurus who know where to find the specs for this stuff and improve
   the hardware models for Bochs. Working on models is a fun way to learn how
   things work, and unlike designing a real hard disk, you can test out your
   changes on a real operating system immediately!
 * Disk Images: Our collection of disk images is getting out of date. It would
   be great to have small or large images of a variety of free operating
   systems.
 * Documentation: Adding installation help and other useful information into the
   docs.

To help with one of these tasks, please contact Volker Ruppert or Stanislav
Shwartsman.
