I boot FreeDOS on a Ryzen system so I can use a parallel port device whose program won't work correctly under 64-bit Dosemu2. it is an EPROM programmer whose timing requirements won't tolerate non-virtualized emulation.
- senko 4y agoThanks for providing an actual and relevant use case. TBH (and I'm wildly speculating here, I'm not involved in embedded dev at all), if there were no other options, I believe the SW emulation would rise to the challenge to make it workable. If people can faithfully reproduce behaviours of ages old consoles to make sure the old games' bugs are still preserved, and for free, I'm guessing someone would step up in case of x86 if there was a business need. But since you can still use actual HW to do that, there isn't any.
