86Box has now introduced a new GUI on Windows. This GUI is much more reminiscent of something like Virtual PC 2007 or VMware than the PCem UI, so users of those bits of software should feel more at home now.

'''86Box''' is an open-source, [[High/Low level emulation|low-level]] [[Intel CPUs|PC emulator]]. It focuses on PC hardware from the 80s and 90s. A variety of operating systems can be installed in the emulator, which can then be used to launch programs. It is a fork of [[PCem]]. It took over from and is preceded by [[PCem-X]] after the latter was , which has been deprecatedsince December 2017.

==Overview==
To run any program, an operating system needs to be installed in 86Box first. It has a [[Dynamic_recompilation|dynamic recompiler]] that gives accurate Pentium/II support. It can also emulate numerous 2D and 3D cards.
