== OS Compatibility Reference Sheet for VM8 ==▼
=== 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
* 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
* 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 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
* 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.
=== 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 ===
* 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 -
== Untested OSes ==
* Windows Whistler
* Windows 2.x - Tip: qemutab.img has a usb-tablet driver for 2.x, use it for working mouse.
