86Box is an open-source, low-level 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 PCem-X after the latter was deprecated.

Overview

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

Image support

Floppy

  • .IMG / .FLP / .HDM / .BIN (Basic sector floppy images)
  • .IMD / .JSON / .TDO (Advanced sector floppy images)
  • .FDI (Flux floppy images)
  • .86F / .MFM (Surface floppy images)

Hard disk

  • .IMG (Raw hard disk images)
  • .HDI (Hard disk images used by emulators for NEC PC-98)
  • .VHD (Virtual hard disk images; Support fixed-size, dynamic-size or differencing VHDs)

CD-ROM

  • .ISO
  • .CUE
  • Mounting a real or virtual CD-ROM drive

Others

  • .ZDI / .IMG (Iomega ZIP drive images; Support both Zip 100 and Zip 250)
  • .MDI / .IMG (Magneto-optical drive images)
  • .A / .B / .JRC (IBM PCjr cartridge images)
  • .PCM / .RAW / .WAV / .CAS (Cassette images)

OS support

An incomplete list of operating systems that can be installed on it:

  • DOS
  • Microsoft Windows (up to Windows 7)
  • OS/2
  • Any Linux distros (which support Premium processors)
