#LIMBO EMULATOR WINDOWS#
You would like to run a brand new Windows system on a brand new x86 desktop that you payed hundreds or thousands of dollars for. If this is not obvious to you, you are using the WRONG SOLUTION.
#LIMBO EMULATOR ANDROID#
And (obviously), the most common use of this emulator is going to be running an *older* x86 system (an *operating system*- not a crappy Windows system, which is just a useless toy) on an Android device that is running on top of an ARM based system. What it is- is the only way to run a REAL operating system on top of Android (which is really just a completely useless piece of junk).Limbo x86 is a port of Qemu x86 for a cruddy Android API (which is basically worthless on its own). Limbo is about what it is- not what it's not. This needs to be changed for sure! It is quite limiting on most systems.
Definitely deserving of five stars- minus one because the developers did not think to request permissions on external filesystems. And- that's what the project is all about. Limbo provides Qemu (w/ all its functionality) for Android. Probably too slow for many people's liking. Also got Rollercoaster Tycoon working in Wine (just- 'cause I could). Even got sound working (by compiling Pulseaudio and piping signals to a Pulseaudio simple protocol player that is available for useless Android- but pretty choppy). And, I even installed Office 97 with file format converters (not that I need it, because I also compiled Abiword and Gnumeric from source). I compiled Wine 1.39 (using Slackware 11.0's 2.6 kernel). I've even used its Apache daemon to host my website a couple times. And (obviously), CUPS and network mounts and Samba and ssh and wget. I am able to run an X Window System (TWM), Emacs, games, and most of the bells and whistles a person would expect. So, I gotta run Slackware 11.0 w/ minimal packages from that (and, that's pretty tight- but doable). This leaves me with only 4GB on the main system disk. And, Limbo does not request write access on external disks. *My* device does not allow integrating an add on Micro SD with the system disk. So (using a RAID), best case scenario is installing a system on an 8GB filesystem. Also, a user is limited to (at most) four disks by Qemu.
#LIMBO EMULATOR INSTALL#
So, this leaves a user needing to install a system on disk images that are (at most) 2GB (just one of the many, many completely unnecessary limitations of worthless Android). Android only allows permissions on a FAT32 filesystem. Damn Small Linux runs pretty well, too (but- I couldn't stand using it because it doesn't allow a user to improve the system!) And, Limbo makes what would (basically) be a useless hunk of plastic into a halfway decent system that allows a user to actually make use of the device. Limbo x86 runs Slackware 11.0 really well on top of an Android system for ARM. So- buy one of those and stop trying to be a hacker. Limbo x86 is a port of Qemu x86 for a cruddy Android API (which is basically worthless on its own).
