Is qemu practical ?
In FreeBSD, i use VirtualBox+WindowXP to run some windows application. It seems VBox cannot run on OpenBSD ?
What i really want to know is whether or not qemu is practical compared with VBox or KVM ? Sincerely! |

I have used qemu for years; never had a problem with it. But I have been using qemu on linux and windows to emu erither linux or windows. I have never tried to run quem in OpenBSD running a win VM.
The problems I have had in the past have always been with USB devices/folder host client share. If you get WinXP running in qemu on OpenBSD; please report back. It would be neat to hear if it can be done. |

It's possible to get XP working in qemu on OpenBSD but, no, it is not practical. It is incredibly slow, in fact.

No one ported VBox to OpenBSD.
Only when some OS does not work/run under VBox/KVM (like MINIX3 sometimes), other then that, its way too slow (even with kqemu).

It is VERY regretful because wine is NOT working on openbsd too.

I get it. Although it is a bit slow without kqemu, it works. start XP which enables remote desktop $qemu -hda winxp.img -m 160 -soundhw es1370 -no-fd-bootchk \ -nographic -daemonize -redir tcp:3389::3389 -boot c connect it $rdesktop -u sw2wolf -p *** -g 1440x880 -D -K -r sound:remote localhost:3389 |

1. You can set the emulated CPU type.
Code:
qemu -cpu ? 2. Use the VNC option in qemu instead of remote desktop. Even though qemu is available as a package in most operating systems- read Linux and BSD here- you may be better of building it from source. The options are yours to choose. |

Why should i use VNC ? Sincerely! Last edited by sw2wolf; 3rd April 2012 at 02:34 AM. |
