Ape

Ape (Another PC Emulator) is a free / open source IBM PC compatible emulator written in C++17.

If you're looking for a usable, user-friendly or even complete Emulator, Ape is not for you. DOSBox or dosemu might be what you are looking for.

• Not all interrupts are implemented
• Limited hardware support
  • Limited to 8086/8088 instructions only
  • No Intel 8087 emulation
  • No Harddrive support
• Limited graphics capabilities
  • Only plain text
  • Basic VGA text mode support

Requirements

• A C++17 capable compiler
• CMake
• Qt 5 (5.9 or newer)
• Doxygen (Docs only)
