== OSes confirmed to work on VM8 ==
== OS Compatibility Reference Sheet for VM8 ==
=== OSes confirmed to work on VM8 ===
* All Crustywindows bootlegs - All of them will work just fine, except Windows 8 and above of course
* Windows 8 build 8305 or earlier
* Windows 7 - Runs really sluggishly, highly recommended to use [[VM7]] instead
* 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
* Many hobbyist OSes although some don't have support for the RTL8139 or just doesn't support USB-tablet
 
=== OSes with some issues ===
* Windows 98 - You will need to use Patcher9x to patch the VMM to not get a protection error. [https://computernewb.com/~lily/ISOs/Utility/patcher9x-0.7.45-boot.ima You can get it here.] [[Install QEMU Tablet Driver on Windows 98|Don't forget to install the proper mouse drivers]].
* Windows 95 - After installing the OS, you'll need to run <code>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 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 - Runs extremely sluggish since the VM only has 512 MB of RAM, you also will have to patch the SSE2/NX/PAE check out, and enable auto logon since the login screen does not work without SSE2. Internet Explorer does not run.
* Windows 98 - This OS seems to have a lot of issues in VMs in general for some reason, lots of BSODs and locking up, you will have to run <code>!reboot</code> a lot, but it ''is'' installable and will work once you get through the setup. [[Install QEMU Tablet Driver on Windows 98|See this page to install the mouse]].
* SerenityOS - WindowServer fails to start
* QNX 6 - Runs fine but non-functioning mouse despite USB stack and USB mouse module for all HCIs running.
