BochsBochs is a portable open source x86- and x86-64-architecture emulator mainly written in C++. It supports emulation of a processor, BIOS and common hardware peripherals.
Many operating systems can be run using the emulator including DOS, several versions of Windows, FreeBSD and Linux. Bochs can run on many operating systems, including Windows, Linux, and OS X on the Mac.
Bochs is mostly used for operating system development and to run other operating systems inside already running operating systems. Some people use it to run old computer games inside their non-compatible computers.
