Would it be possible to write an emulator for MeOS programs???

I was trying to write MenuetOS emulator for DOS one year ago (under DJGPP), but I gave up. It could start basic applications. Not all functions were supported (e.g. you couldn't execute another application). I used Allegro for graphic library and DPMI for setting int 0x40 vector and memory handling.
Emulator simply created LDT descriptors for code and data, set up int 0x40 vector and simulate iret to MenuetOS code.

How about to use Cooperative Linux as MenuetOS' VM?

i would recommend that modify it for MenuetOS.

then you can run MenuetOS on winnt..

It would be better to emulate MenuetOS kernel. I don't know how to do it under WinNT (emulation of syscall handler). LINE does this by replacing every int 0x80 with int 0x3 (db 0xCD,0x03 - long form).

Well , it would be interesting to be able to emulate MeOS applications on windows , then i could test my program's outside MeOS

Why not use bochs?

To create an emulator for windows would take a lot of programming resources away from working on the OS itself.
If you use bochs, not only will it do Menuetos, but other OS's as well.

I thought I tried bochs at one time and there was something about the resolution on menuetos I thought I didn't like though.

i guess BOCHS is slower than colinux.

ring 0 vs just emulation..

bochs is extremely slow here

I had some good luck with bochs as an emulator for menuetos. I created an image of the menuetOS floppy using WinImage and made some slight mods to the sample config file. It loads very fast, but the graphics are slow. and the mouse support is sketchy.

this might be a decent environment for testing non-time-critical apps.
