+ What about the 3D acceleration capabilities of UTM, is it good? According to their website UTM currently lacks 3D acceleration for Windows due to no GPU emulation/virtualization support (like OpenGL or DirectX). So, software rendering seems like the only option.

: - I don't have a Mac so I can't test it. I think it technically qualifies but it's not developed for games [[User:Phredreeke|Phredreeke]] ([[User talk:Phredreeke|talk]]) 11:35, 26 June 2024 (UTC) | : - I don't have a Mac so I can't test it.

− | :: + I previously added UTM to the [[Hypervisors]] page because of its virtualization capabilities. However, I don't think UTM emulator belongs to this page '''at this moment'''. Perhaps we should wait for further development or news about the project before adding it here. | + | :: + I previously added UTM to the [[Hypervisors]] page because of its virtualization capabilities.

I could see two ways to go with this column. Either go with a Windows centered approach (since this is what would most likely be used) and list a range of Windows versions supported, ie Windows 1.0-Windows 98. Alternatively list every family of OS that is supported on the emulator (possibly with Win9x and Win NT as separate entries). However I think other OSes (such as OS/2, Linux and BSDs) are so niche that it would be better served with just a separate section at the bottom of the page.

− | :+ Well, there's already a [[ | + | |
+ | :+ Well, there's already a [[PC_Emulator_Comparisons#Operating_systems]] section that covers your suggestions. I think we just need to incorporate a concise summary of that information in the "Operating system support" column, but I'm unsure of the best way to achieve that.
