Emulate PCs of the past with Bochs. It is not only games and operating systems that you can emulate but also various x86 CPUs with Bochs. This software makes it possible for you to run PC emulations including its processor, hardware devices and memory. It can emulate those from the early 386 up to the recent x86-64 Intel and AMD processors. Bochs is an Intel architecture PC emulator written and previously maintained by Kevin Lawton. Since Kevin began the project in 1994, much has happened in the virtualization space. Bochs does a very good job in emulating an x86 compatible computer, however, it does not (yet) include a full (100%) emulation of every possible instruction, (BIOS) function call or (hardware) device.

Bochs Laptops Refurbished
This is a comparison of the various emulators that you can use to test your operating system without having to reboot your computer or risk your hardware.

General
Bochs Laptops Windows 10
| Cost/License | Method | Debugging | Configuration | |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bochs | Free / LGPL | Full emulation (slow) | Yes, built-in | Command line, script file, interactive menus |
| QEMU | Free / GPL | Emulation/dynamic translation | Yes, via GDB stub | Command line (optional GUI) |
| VirtualBox | Free / mixed | Virtualization | Yes, built-in | GUI, command line (optional) |
| Microsoft Virtual PC | Free | Virtualization (on PC), Emulation (on Mac) | No | GUI, command line (optional) |
| VMWare Virtual Server 2 | Free | Virtualization | Yes, via GDB stub | Web interface, non-free Windows client (VI3) |
| Microsoft Hyper-V | Free | Virtualization, Emulation on legacy devices | Yes, via WinDBG | GUI, command line (PowerShell) |
Overall, VirtualBox offers the richest set of features, along with very fast performance. Bochs is by far the slowest, but that is because of its full emulation, which gives it the highest accuracy.
None of them are necessarily 'better' than the others. This comparison is just to point out their differences. It can't hurt to use more than one emulator (or several), in order to test your OS on a variety of platforms without using real hardware.

Supported Disk Image Formats
This chart shows the file formats for an emulated hard disk. The emulators usually support only a flat image for a floppy and an ISO image file for CD-ROMs.
| Flat | Concatenated | Sparse/Stackable | Journaling | Growing | VMWare format | |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| Bochs | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes | Yes |
| QEMU | Yes | No | Yes | No | No | Yes |
| VirtualBox | Yes | No | No | No | Yes | Yes |
| Microsoft Virtual PC | Yes | No | Yes | No | Yes | No |
- A flat image offers no special features and takes up the full amount of disk space that it emulates.
- The concatenated format allows several separate files to emulate one combined hard disk; useful for partitions.
- A sparse image does not store blank space, so you could emulate a 1 GB hard disk, but it would only take up 200 MB of space if it had 800 MB free space.
- Stackable images allow a 'base' read-only image. Any changes are stored in a new image that is layered on top. Useful if you want to remove any changes to a 'good' disk.
- Journaling images keep track of changes made by each session, and they can be undone/redone in order.
- Growing images are similar to sparse images. They start small when the emulated disk is empty and expand as more data is written.
- Apparently, the VMWare format for disks is popular because several emulators support it.
