{{Warn|Using other hypervisors in CollabVM 1.2.x is ''highly'' discouraged. You will face stability issues, and no support will be given.}}

In CollabVM version 1.2.x and below, it is possible to run other hypervisors or even connect to a physical machine that is not running QEMU. This comes with a several limitations.
*Create a text document somewhere with the name "run.sh" (if using Windows, run.bat), or whatever you prefer.
*In the text document, add the following command:
'''Linux/BSD''': <code>qemu-system-i386 -m 4 -no-shutdown -qmp unix:/tmp/collab-vm-qmp-customvm,server -vnc 127.0.0.1:5nographic</code>
 
'''Windows''': <code>"C:\Program Files\qemu\qemu-system-i386.exe" -m 4 -no-shutdown -qmp tcp::5800,server,nodelay -vnc 127.0.0.1:5nographic</code>
**Replace "customvm" with whatever you set the "URL Name". For example, if you set the URL name to "vm1", then you would change the qmp command to "collab-vm-qmp-vm1,server".
*Make sure it is allowed to execute by running chmod +x run.sh.
*Start the VM.
 
If everything went well, you should have successfully connected. Most things will work in this - turns, homepage screenshots etc will work. Again, this is an unsupported method and we are not responsible for any instability it might cause. In CollabVM Server 2.0, you have raw access to the Guacamole parameters, so you can connect to any VNC server using it, and also passworded VNCs.
