QEMU Reloaded.

With the latest release of QEMU (0.5.4), it now boots Win2k perfectly.  I've fixed a small bug in the code preventing the Bochs VBE display driver from working and the full-color support looks awesome.  All but the first screenshot are running 1024x768x16bpp visuals.

Note that XP should boot full-color fine without the patch since, AFAIK, it has full VESA 2.0 support built-in.  You should be able to get 8-32 bpp visuals from the default Standard VGA driver.

Also, notice that QEMU runs Firefox flawlessly.  It's a good test for full-color screens.

   

VMWare has a new contender.  :)
