| Dennis Richie (inventor of the C Programming Language) standing & Ken Thomson (Chief of the Unix Project) sitting at a PDP 11 (1972), as viewed in IrfanView, a freeware MS Windows program running in Wine, with no MS Windows at all! | Stonx Emulator: A complete Atari ST Virtual Machine! Here viewing the GEM environment. |

| Playing my favorite old
strategy game XCom -
Terror From The Deep on Dosbox 0.63, with sound &
music. Dosbox can run almost every Dos game-application
including ones that need the DOS/4G memory extender. |
The Dosbox shell implements the most
useful and needed command.com functions. DPMI,
upper,
expanded & extended memory is fully supported. For a
list of internal commands, click here. |

| Playing my old Lucasarts
Monkey Island II
game inside ScummVM
with sound effects and music under Linux. ScummVM changes to the appropriate resolution using the SDL library. |
Continuing the Norton
Commander Legacy: Dos Navigator running inside Dosbox. |

| Playing Starcraft through
Wine in Linux
with sound, music and Direct Draw implementation in
640*480 full screen. The screenshot here was taken via the
game interface, not Kde or X. Starcraft was never ported
to Linux but thanks to Wine I can still play it! |
Playing Fallout through Wine in Linux! The legendary Roleplaying games Fallout 1&2 were playable through Wine for a very long time. The screenshot here was taken via the game interface. | ||
| Running WindowsXP in Sun Microsystem's VirtualBox. USB filtering allows direct connection between the real machine and the virtual one! See the notes link on the top for additional information in VirtualBox. | |
Playing
Lucasart's Full Throttle in Dosbox. Using its Unix-like "mount" command, Dosbox can assign a cd to a specified DOS-like drive letter. Full Throttle can be played in ScummVM too. |

| An
early version of a real Windows 98 box of a friend transferred
to the VirtualBox.
Windows 98 had to adjust to the new environment. Some
incompatible to Windows
7 apps
are too costly to abandon. Besides
I have spent so much time troubleshooting the real
one, it would be a pity to throw it away. |
The adjustment wasn't that hard after all. Windows 98 behaved in a very smooth way. Sound and video are now ok. In fact everything is. Software on top of software rocks! | ||

Slackware Linux guest runs on a Windows7 host machine
through VirtualBox in "seamless mode", that is operating
solely on the host's desktop and presenting the
virtual apps as if they were native. Notice both Kde4
and Windows taskbars on top of each other! |
|
Playing Eve Online in Linux through Wine. No trouble running this Windows Native program, here in window mode. Full screen option gives no trouble either. | |
| Cygwin
is Wine's
counterpart:
It provides Linux Api support on Windows environments.
Here installed on Windows 7, featuring the Fortune
app, running on every login. Additional: See Midnight Commander on Cygwin here! |
|
Cooperative Linux doesn't need a VM. It's
only a kernel that can see partitions, directories, image
files, virtual device drivers network services etc. Here
running a Slackware
3.1 image. Gui needs XServer (here Xming). Currently checking a real
local linux partition that Windows7 provides access
to!!! |
