EmuCR: QEMUQEMU v8.1.0-rc4 is released. QEMU is a generic and open source machine emulator and virtualizer.When used as a machine emulator, QEMU can run OSes and programs made for one machine (e.g. an ARM board) on a different machine (e.g. your own PC). By using dynamic translation, it achieves very good performances.When used as a virtualizer, QEMU achieves near native performances by executing the guest code directly on the host CPU. A host driver called the QEMU accelerator (also known as KQEMU) is needed in this case. The virtualizer mode requires that both the host and guest machine use x86 compatible processors.

Every time I've tried to run the Windows version of QEMU on my PC, it hasn't really worked. That's down user error, I'm certain; but I wish there was a better GUI version available.

I have not tried Windows on QEMU But I am running Android x86 on it and it works better than on virtual box. I am using AQEMU as a gui on Linux, which makes things easier.
