This VM is meant to be compatible with older operating systems that cannot ~~run~~or don't work properly on VM7. The VM was announced on December 30th, 2021 by [[modeco80]]. The VM comes with a Pentium 4 CPU, 512 MB of RAM, ~~and 6~~12 GB of hard disk space, and a Cirrus Logic GD5446 graphics card. == OS Compatibility Reference Sheet for VM8 ==▼ ~~[[File:VM8_def.png\|thumb\|right\|VM8 when it is in its default state]]~~ === OSes confirmed to work on VM8 ===▼ ▲[[File:VM8Announcement.png\|thumb\|The announcement of VM8.]] * All Crustywindows bootlegs - All of them will work just fine, except Windows 8 and above of course ▲= OS Compatibility Reference Sheet for VM8 = ▲== OSes confirmed to work on VM8 == * Windows 8 build 8305 or earlier * Windows 7 - Runs sluggishly, recommended to use [[VM7]] instead for Windows 7 * Tiny7 * Windows Vista * TinyVista, Tiny7 * Windows XP - While it is perfectly normal (except when shutting down or rebooting), you should just use VM2. * Windows 2000 * Windows ~~95,~~ 98 ~~and ME~~ - ME[[Install ~~works~~QEMU ~~the~~Tablet ~~best somehow while~~Driver on ~~95 and~~Windows 98\|Don't ~~you have~~forget to doinstall ~~modifications to make~~the itproper ~~run~~mouse ~~good~~drivers]]. * Windows 95 - You may need to run <code>!cd Software/FIX95CPU.iso</code> to prevent a "Windows Protection Error". You will also need to use <code>qemutab.img</code> to get a working mouse. Other than that, the OS runs fine. * Windows 3.11 - Use qemumouse.img from Lily's ISO directory for working mouse.▼ * Windows NT 3.5, 3.51, 4.0 * Windows ME - ME works fairly well, surprisingly. ▲* Windows 3.11x - Use qemumouse.img from Lily's ISO directory for working mouse. * Windows 1.0 * MS-DOS * Minoca * GNU/Hurd * FreeBSD - You'll have to use the VM image on the FreeBSD FTP as installer doesn't work correctly * OpenBSD - Installation is slower than on VM7. * NetBSD * Xenix * Windows Vista betas (both pre-reset and post-reset, albeit setup will have graphical glitches) * Windows Neptune * Many hobbyist OSes although some don't have support for the RTL8139 or just doesn't support USB-tablet === OSes ~~that~~with ~~barely~~some ~~work~~issues === * Windows NT 3.1 - You will need to reboot into DOS and edit some setup files, see [https://virtuallyfun.com/wordpress/2016/10/26/installing-windows-nt-3-1-physical-computer/ this page] for more info, other than that it will work, though there are no networking drivers. * Windows Vista, 7 - Will work if you load a 32-bit slim ISO. 8.1/10 barely runs since it only has 512 MB of RAM. === OSes that barely work === * Windows 8.0 RTM - Technically runs but unusable since the VM only has 512 MB of RAM. You will have to create your own ISO that patches the SSE2/NX/PAE checks and enable auto logon since the login screen does not work without SSE2. Internet Explorer does not run. * SerenityOS - WindowServer fails to start * QNX 6 - Runs fine but non-functioning mouse despite USB stack and USB mouse module for all HCIs running. == OSes that do not work on VM8 == === Doesn't work properly === * Windows NT 3.1, 3.5, 3.51, 4.0 - BSODs on setup; Most likely due to early NT Kernel, You can install it manually using DOS. Another method is by using QEMU to install it directly to the hard drive. * JX, Ghost Kernel - Requires a PS/2 Mouse or you can't utilize the OS not even with keyboard shortcuts. * NewOS, ArcaOS - Locks up at booting due to KVM * OpenSolaris, UnixWare, OpenServer - Bootloops * Windows 8.1, 10, 11 - ~~Will~~Windows ~~not~~8.1 and 10 cannot boot at all ~~unless~~on ~~Microsoft~~Pentium ~~releases~~3, due to the missing SSE2 instruction. Windows 11 does not have a 32-bit version to even boot from. * Windows 8, 8.1, 10 - Won't boot at all because CPU doesn't have SSE2 and NX instructions. * Windows Vista betas (Longhorn, post-reset) - Massive graphics issues (VM7), would likely not work at all. == Untested OSes == * Windows Vista betas (Longhorn, pre-reset) * Windows Whistler * Windows 2.x - Tip: qemutab.img has a usb-tablet driver for 2.x, use it for working mouse.
