This project is to provide a (hopefully) easy-to-understand amd64 emulator, with the long-term goal of being a tool in understanding amd64's design choices
Boot some form of Linux, install DOOM, play DOOM
Get OVMF actually working
- Full support for base amd64 instruction set
- APIC timer
- RAM
- amd64 paging
- 32-bit mode, 64-bit mode, and switching between them
- The rarely-emulated segment register caching
- amd64 SIMD extensions like MMX, SSE, SSE2, AVX, etc
- Support for the VMWare SVGA virtual device
- Support for PCIe
- Support for AHCI
- Support for NVMe
- Support for Intel Graphics (maybe? Kind of far-fetched, tbh)
Q: Will there be a Windows port?
A: no
Q: Why not?
A: Because Windows is difficult to develop for, and it adds a level of difficulty to an already difficult project that I do not need
Q: Will it run (insert software name here)?
A: No.
