A machine library
One window makes a Windows 98, XP, 7, 11, DOS or other machine with settings that suit it. Each machine opens in its own window.
2ksbox
Windows 98, XP and DOS the way the machines of the era ran them, with their 3D games on your GPU and a CRT on your monitor. Windows 7's Aero desktop and Windows 11 too.
Period 3D, accelerated
DirectX 1 to 9 and OpenGL run on your graphics card, and an emulated 3dfx Voodoo 2 runs Glide games with 3dfx’s own driver.
Your discs
cue/bin, CloneCD, Alcohol, ISO, or a folder. Copy-protected discs and CD audio work. Swap discs while the machine runs.
A CRT look
The guest’s picture at its own resolution, through a CRT shader you can tune, instead of a blurry stretched rectangle.
