==Starting up==
When that's done, start up QEMU with a command like the following:
'''If your ISO is 32-bit:'''
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -m 512M -hda winxp.img -device VGA,vgamem_mb=64 -cpu host -accel kvm -M pc -netdev user,id=lan -device rtl8139,netdev=lan -usb -device usb-tablet -rtc base=localtime -monitor stdio</pre>
'''If your ISO is 64-bit:'''
<pre>qemu-system-x86_64 -m 2G -hda winxp.img -device VGA,vgamem_mb=64 -cpu host -accel kvm -M pc -netdev user,id=lan -device rtl8139,netdev=lan -usb -device usb-tablet -rtc base=localtime -monitor stdio</pre>
This adds a VGA card (with 64 MB of VRAM, to allow high resolutions and color depth), KVM acceleration (allowing the OS to run at native speeds), an RTL8139 internet adapter, and a USB tablet for smooth mouse input.
We set the memory to 512 MB for 32-bit, and 2 GB for 64-bit, but it can technically run on as low as 96 MB of RAM.
If you use Integral Edition, you can get better performance by switching <code>-M pc</code> with <code>-M pc-q35-2.6</code>.
# Open Internet Explorer (or whatever browser you have installed)
# Navigate to <code>http://win32subsystem.live/supermium/legacy/</code>

# You will get a few options in the setup. All of them are optional but I recommend installing the Noto Emoji font and creating shortcuts for Supermium. Hit OK
# If all went well, Supermium should be working!
====MyPal====

# Download the MyPal ISO from Computernewb ([https://computernewb.com/isos/software/mypal68.iso
# Switch to the MyPal ISO by running a command similar to the following in the QEMU console: <pre>change ide1-cd0 /path/to/mypal68.iso</pre>
# Open the CD and extract the ZIP file anywhere
