EmuGUI is a program that you need to test. That's why compatibility lists exist. These OS listings are categorized into OS groups.
Note: A list of tutorials is available here .
| Operating system | Architecture | Working | Notes |
|---|---|---|---|
| Windows 95 C | i386 | Yes | |
| Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Service Pack 1 | MIPS64el | Yes | Needs external BIOS, you can get it here . Rename NTPROM.RAW to mipsel_bios.bin and copy that file onto the root of EmuGUI. |
| Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Service Pack 1 | i386 | Yes | Use only 256 colours if you don't want to have mouse problems. |
| Windows NT 4.0 Workstation Service Pack 6a | i386 | Yes | Use only 256 colours if you don't want to have mouse problems. |
| Windows 98 Second Edition | i386 | Partially |
If the bootscreen hangs, use VirtualBox, boot Windows in Safe Mode, shut it down and get back to EmuGUI. Generally, special procedures have to be done to get Windows 98 running. Do NOT add a sound card to an already installed VM or else you will render it unusable. |
| Windows Millenium Edition | i386 | Yes | If the bootscreen hangs, close out of QEMU and restart the VM. |
| Windows 2000 Professional Service Pack 4 | i386 | No | |
| Windows XP Home Edition Service Pack 3 | i386 | Yes | |
| Windows Server 2003 R2 Standard Service Pack 2 | i386 | Yes | |
| Windows Vista Ultimate Service Pack 2 | i386 | Yes | Aero isn't working due to driver issues. |
| Windows 7 Ultimate Service Pack 1 | x86_64 | Yes | Aero isn't working due to driver issues. |
| Windows 8.1 | x86_64 | No | This version of Windows appears to corrupt the VHD upon successful installation. Further investigation is required. |
Note: I am not a lawyer but I do know that it violates the End User License Agreement (EULA) from Apple. However, some German tech magazines like GIGA or PC-WELT (Yes, I'm German) wrote articles on how to install macOS on VirtualBox on a Windows machine and therefore I can say that Apple can't enforce that. A article about this situation is here. If you are at all unsure, please check the copyright laws of your country.

The best results come from the preinstalled Xfce image.
However, there are mouse issues and you can only
navigate with the keyboard. If you want to have networking capabilities, you MUST use the Xfce image. |
