v86 VS daedalOS

Not a bad idea. Arch also comes to mind, and its support on https://copy.sh/v86/ is a testament to its flexibility.

import { useEffect } from 'react'; function App() { useEffect(function initializeEmulator(){ // See https://github.com/copy/v86/blob/master/src/browser/starter.js for options window.emulator = new window.V86({ wasm_path: '/v86.wasm', screen_container: document.getElementById("screen_container"), bios: { url: "/bios/seabios.bin", }, vga_bios: { url: "/bios/vgabios.bin", }, hda: { // Hard Disk url: "/images/fd12-base.img", async: true, size: 419430400, // Recommended to add size of the image in URL. see https://github.com/copy/v86/blob/master/src/browser/starter.js }, autostart: true, }); }, []); return (

> As a thought experiment, we're almost there! We could technically have `win95.img + bochs86vm.wasm + autorun.inf + msword.exe` wrapped in a "browser evaluator"

I looked into this and... holy crap! We are there. Not for modern programs quite yet, sure, but this is amazing. You can use Windows 2000 from your browser.

I've learned so much while making this project into my personal website (dustinbrett.com). It's made me a much better web developer as I have tried to emulate a desktop environment with pixel perfect accuracy using CSS, HTML & JavaScript.

I'm very happy to announce that my personal website has once again been nominated for a Webby Award!

This has also been ported to the web via Emscripten. I host it on my website if anyone wants to play. https://dustinbrett.com/?app=SpaceCadet
