Question about which tools to use, bugs, the best way to implement a function, etc should go here. Don't forget to see if your question is answered in the wiki first! When in doubt post here.

myself, i dont touch v86 so havnt seen these bugs.
dont forget, qemu is 0.6, bochs is several years old and 2.1.1. they are doing a lot of work on qemu and to me, it already shows more promise than bochs.
Totally agree, it's just Bochs's maturity that swings it for me, but it's tight.

I wouldn't say I'm basing my OS around it, but it's quite important to me for several reasons, including legacy app support. Of course, the reason it crashes at boot under QEMU is due to the terminal setup functions trying to make video BIOS calls.
I really would rather use QEMU if it worked. I'm just waiting for the day that it does...
