copy/v86
x86 PC emulator and x86-to-wasm JIT, running in the browser
About the project
An x86-compatible PC emulator that runs in the browser: machine code is translated to WebAssembly to run old OSes and software without installation.
Useful for
- Run Windows 98 or MS-DOS directly in the browser to test legacy software.
- Embed the emulator into a web page via libv86.js to demo legacy applications.
- Build and test a custom Linux image (e.g., Alpine or Buildroot) in the emulator.

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
