Emulators interpret every single instruction running in the virtual machine, which allows them to run on incompatible CPU architectures. Furthermore, 86Box emulates peripherals that have actually existed, which makes it possible to use drivers that are already available. On the other side, these components haven't been designed to work in virtual environment, therefore it is not possible to offer advanced features such as mouse pointer integration or shared folders without custom drivers. -[< Go back](index) \ No newline at end of file +> ### Why does 86Box not have a Linux version like PCem does? + +Even though 86Box is based on PCem, its development began before the cross-platform wxWidgets frontend was introduced to PCem.
