'''[[86Box''' ]] is an [[High/Low level emulation|LLE ]] PC emulator. It focuses on PC hardware from the 80's and 90's. 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]].

86Box is a PC emulator that emulates hardware from the 80's and mid-90's. It does not emulate the operating systems as well however. 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 support. It can also emulate numerous 2D and 3D cards, even the S3 ViRGE, which no other emulator supports.

It Voodoo support used to be extremely slow, relying on frame skipping to stay full speed. However, in recent builds, this has changed with the introduction of a [[Dynamic_recompilation|dynamic recompiler]] that gives accurate Pentium supportfor the Voodoo. It can also emulate numerous 2D and 3D cardsis supposedly at least twice as fast as before, even the S3 ViRGE, which no other emulator supportsthough some apps see up to a 4x increase in speed.
