In particular, you can install Android-x86 to an NTFS filesystem to co-exist with Windows. and in all of them I can, for example, play Tekken 3 inside virtualized Windows.We have implemented a text-based easy installer to help install Android-x86 to a hard drive.

Using the native settings all should work satisfactorily and I don't know which one has more performance or less consumption of resources such as RAM and CPU, for example.Īs I recall they all log into Windows (the system I virtualize) at about the same time. while using VMWare it's harder for the user to screw something up (still possible). the others work but very easily you break the VM using wrong switches. I've already tested them all, and at the moment I use VMWare simply because it's a more robust to setup than the others.

VirtualBox, QEMU and VMWare Player are better. Why are you wanting to use 'BOCHS EMULATOR' in particular?
