QEMU (short for "Quick EMUlator") is a free and open-source hosted hypervisor that performs hardware virtualization.
QEMU is a hosted virtual machine monitor: It emulates central processing units through dynamic binary translation and provides a set of device models, enabling it to run a variety of unmodified guest operating systems. It also provides an accelerated mode for supporting a mixture of binary translation (for kernel code) and native execution (for user code), in the same fashion as VMware Workstation and VirtualBox do. QEMU can also be used purely for CPU emulation for user-level processes, allowing applications compiled for one architecture to be run on another.

QEMU (manager) is the only solution against EGPFault in Win87EM.dll with newer Intel-CPUs
QEMU Manager is the very good Windows GUI for QEMU. In difference to VirtualBox or VMware Player you can emulate several CPUs, which is necessary for old 16bit applications with EGPFault in Win87EM.dll with newer Intel-CPUs (from 2013 and later) in all other virtual machines except QEMU.
So only with QEMU (not with VMware or VirtualBox or Windows XP Mode) you can use and compile Delphi 1.6 programs, when you have a newer Host-CPU from Intel. Without QEMU you must buy another computer with an AMD-CPU, because VirtualBox or VMware Player cannot emulate various CPUs, as QEMU can.

Qemu is a solid solution for when Virtualbox has the blues. It also seems to run VMs slightly quicker, at least in my experience, which is always a solid plus.

I used to test QEMU under Ubuntu. In 3 hours or so I even had an XP installed. Unfortunately, everything went 3-4 times slower that it did with VMWare, so it was just unusable.

It's simple and has made it easy to run different Linux distros virtually.

Its a nice little emulator and has some nice features, but I recommend Virtual box over this program. I had too many problems and it was too confusing and difficult to get anything to work on this program.
