Let's say I want to emulate my first SMP system, a dual p3 with windows 2000, well, without P3 (and smp) emulation, I can't.
If there was SMP P3 emulation, then I could (albeit at horrible speed, at the moment) but at some point, it'd become quite reasonable.
- AshamedCaptain 5y agoThere is SMP P3 emulation. qemu is an emulator, not a virtualizer. There is no cycle-accurate emulation, but again the question is: why would need cycle-accurate emulation to run win2k? It runs just fine on virtualizers, even.
- pornel 5y agoPerhaps for games with DRM?
- anthk 5y agoMost DRM ridded games were cracked.
- dusted 5y agoBut I don't want virtualization, I want cycle accurate emulation of my p3, actually, I want emulation of the underlying chip so that I can run the original Intel microcode on it. I want my bios chips and all that jazz. I want a ship in a bottle, complete with the seven seas and the world to travel. I want it described in software, so it can be emulated, on whatever the future brings, forever.
- Comevius 5y agoProbably no software was ever written specifically for the Pentium 3 (so that it would break on a Pentium 4, or different Pentium 3), so there isn't much reason to emulate it too accurately. What you are asking is FPGA territory anyway, maybe not even that, the Pentium 3 is too complex to accurately emulate.
