On the other hand, emulating a machine of this complexity was beyond imagination when gameboy came out. On the other hand, Virtualbox can emulate much more complicate machines. On the other hand, this one lives entirely and safely inside your browser.
- exDM69 14y ago> Virtualbox can emulate much more complicate machines. Virtualbox does not emulate anything, it uses the CPU's virtualization extensions and the code runs natively on the CPU.
- mparlane 14y agoWhat did VMWare do prior to "virtualization extensions" ?
- gwillen 14y agoVirtualization without extensions is possible, but tricky on x86. VMWare has historically used binary translation to deal with the tricky bits. (I.e. go through the binary before you run it, look for instructions that don't virtualize properly, replace them with sequences that can be virtualized and either do the same thing, or trap into the virtual machine monitor.)
