==Overview==
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 recompiler for the Voodoo. It is supposedly at least twice as fast as before, though some apps see up to a 4x increase in speed.
 
==OS support==
An incomplete list of OS that can be installed on it:
 
* [[DOS emulators|DOS]]
* Windows 1/2
* Windows 3/3.11
* Windows 9x
* Select any IA-32 flavor of NT before Vista, it works.
* OS/2 up to at least Warp 3
* Any flavor of Linux that supports the original Pentium
* BeOS
