About Bochs

Bochs is a highly portable open source IA-32 (x86) PC emulator written in C++, that runs on most popular platforms. It includes emulation of the Intel x86 CPU, common I/O devices, and a custom BIOS. Bochs can be compiled to emulate many different x86 CPUs, from early 386 to the most recent x86-64 Intel and AMD processors which may even not reached the market yet.
Bochs is capable of running most Operating Systems inside the emulation including Linux, DOS or Microsoft Windows. Bochs was originally written by Kevin Lawton and is currently maintained by this project.
Bochs can be compiled and used in a variety of modes, some which are still in development. The 'typical' use of bochs is to provide complete x86 PC emulation, including the x86 processor, hardware devices, and memory. This allows you to run OS's and software within the emulator on your workstation, much like you have a machine inside of a machine. For instance, let's say your workstation is a Unix/X11 workstation, but you want to run Win'95 applications. Bochs will allow you to run Win 95 and associated software on your Unix/X11 workstation, displaying a window on your workstation, simulating a monitor on a PC.

Very bad for using its (limited capable) built-in keyboard and not allowing me to use my phone default keyboard such as "hacker keyboard". Also when running I don't know how to pause it or shut it down except by using my phone task switcher to close it (I can't go back to VM manager).

Can't use it without getting on my pc to create an hd. Panics every time I start the emulator without a bochsout.txt created. The app installation directory and files are installed on the sd card by default which the app also crashes if you attempt to browse external storage to load the bios or an ISO which should been located in the internal storage to begin with. I can't get it working with a bootable ISO and an empty c.img no matter what settings I use. The downloads crash the app and return a toast saying that it's not needed. There's clearly an issue related to the app's install path creating a set of directories on both internal and external storages, then not being able to locate the appropriate directory for its components. E.g.. Bios is created on the external storage in the appropriate directory however the application by default looks in the internal storage for the file which it wasn't created there despite it having all the same folders then any attempt to load any files from the external storage results in a crash. Basically, the app doesn't install itself properly. I really do hope this is being worked on though, seeing it in the store had me excited. Good luck.

Looks promising, BUT... keeps crashing when accessing /storage/emulated, and also when starting the emulator, it pops up the SDL splash screen, spits out "No need to download" then kicks back to the config. In fact, doesn't work.

It is fast now but when I modify the bochsrc.txt file in a text editor, it goes back to its non-modified state when I press the start button. Fix this and make it do that only when something in the menus is changed. And also add an option to make disk images.
