 Faux86: A portable, open-source 8086 PC emulator for bare metal
Raspberry Pi

Faux86 is designed to be run 'bare metal' on a Raspberry Pi. This
means that the emulator runs directly on the hardware so no OS needs
to booted on the Pi.

 Features

  * 8086 and 80186 instruction set emulation
  * CGA / EGA / VGA emulation is mostly complete
  * PC speaker, Adlib and Soundblaster sound emulation
  * Serial mouse emulation

 Usage with Raspberry Pi

By default Faux86 boots from a floppy image dosboot.img which in the
emulator is mounted as drive A. The SD card will be mounted as drive
C and any connected USB mass storage device will be mounted as D.
Since MS-DOS is accessing the SD card directly, it does not work for
large SD card types. I have found the best solution is to use a small
capacity SD card and flash the image as a 32MB card. USB keyboard and
mouse should be plugged in before booting - hot swapping of devices
is not supported.

 Credits

Faux86 was originally based on the Fake86 emulator by Mike Chambers.
http://fake86.rubbermallet.org A lot of the code has been shuffled
around or rewritten in C++ but the core CPU emulation remains mostly
the same.

Faux86 uses the Circle library to interface with the Raspberry Pi
