If you want to access XP remotely, you’ll need to change the User Interface setting from SDL to VNC to be able to use a VNC client like VNC Viewer on your PC to remotely access the emulator while it runs on your device.

You’ll need to remove the XP ISO from the Removable section to ensure that the ISO file doesn’t load the installer files, however. Once XP is installed, you can begin using it how it was designed to be used. Follow the instructions on-screen to do this.

Depending on your Android device version, Android will ask you for permission to install from unknown sources when you attempt to open the APK file.

You’ll need to allow Android APK installations from sources other than Google Play before you can do this.

You could install the app from your PC using ADB or, alternatively, you can access the Limbo download page from your Android device’s browser and download the latest APK release file (the android-x86-release to emulate PC hardware). The emulator isn’t available in the Google Play Store, so you’ll need to download and install it manually. Once you have the Windows XP installation files accessible on your Android device in the ISO file format, you’ll need to install the Limbo emulator app.

You could also use Bluetooth to transfer your files, but given the size of the ISO file, this could take some time to complete. Otherwise, use a direct PC-to-Android cabled connection to copy the file to your internal storage. If your device has a microSD card, remove and connect this to your PC first before transferring the ISO file to it, then return the card to your device. Once you have the ISO file, you’ll need to move this to your Android device. This is Microsoft’s own XP emulator, originally for Windows 7 PCs, and is a legitimate source for XP installation files.

For instance, you could use the files provided as part of the Windows XP mode software to create an ISO file. If you don’t have the old XP installation files to hand, you may be able to locate these online. Despite the age of the operating system, you’ll still need a legitimate Windows XP product key to activate Windows. If you have an old Windows XP installation CD to hand, you can create an ISO file using it. It's possible that the device CPU becomes stressed causing overheating.Before you begin installing your Windows XP emulator, you’ll first need the Windows XP installation files in the ISO image file format. Than the app may drain your battery quickly, but this depends on the configuration (emulated cpu cycles).

It's possible that in some cases you have to uninstall and reinstall the app to make it work again. It's possible that you have to reboot your Android device in some cases. The app seems quite stable to me, but it's easily possible to make it very unstable and it may crash immediately if the user plays too much with the configuration, or if the guest system is not managed well.

Then multiprocessor emulation has nothing to do with the number of cores in your device. In Bochs all emulated cores run in a single thread, so a multiprocessor emulation IS NOT faster than a single processor emulation. Version 2.0 introduces multiprocessor support. The app is still considered in a sort of beta/testing stage but is already quite usable. You need a quite fast phone/tablet because the emulator is slow.Ī virtual PC keyboard is provided, but you can use your own virtual keyboard if you like.Īll the settings are made through a popup menu with quite many options. Please note that this is a sort of nerd-oriented app, probably useless for the average android user. If you plan to put the virtual machines in the external SD card, be aware that Android>=4.4 grants write access to the app only under /Android/data/lb.myapp.lbochs/files. It's possible to set the emulator run on a specific cpu model (386/486/586/686/686X64), but the configuration must be chosen wisely or the app will crash badly.Ī smart way to use the app is to create the VM on PC and then copy it inside the android device. It's possible to create shortcuts for different systems (if the home launcher allows it). I provide also a virtual HD ready to use for OS installations. I provide a floppy with freedos just to make the emulator boot after app installation.

The modified bochs sources are included as a tgz archive stored in the internal SD card ( Android/data/lb.myapp.lbochs). LBochs is a port of the Bochs X86 emulator ().
