VirtualXT is an IBM PC/XT (8088/V20) emulator that runs on modern
|
|
hardware and operating systems. It is designed to be simple and
|
|
lightweight yet still capable enough to run a large library of old
|
|
applications and games.
|
|
|
|
VirtualXT uses a module system that loads dynamic plugins, which are
|
|
files that end with an extension of .vxt. By default, all modules will
|
|
be built. Modules may be excluded by using the EXCLUDE_MODULES variable.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
EXCLUDE_MODULES=network ./virtualxt.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
More than one module can be excluded as long as each module is separated
|
|
by a comma.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
EXCLUDE_MODULES=serial,network ./virtualxt.SlackBuild
|
|
|
|
The following modules cannot be excluded:
|
|
|
|
adlib
|
|
arstech_isa
|
|
bios
|
|
cga
|
|
ch36x_isa
|
|
chipset
|
|
covox
|
|
ctrl
|
|
disk
|
|
ems
|
|
joystick
|
|
mouse
|
|
rifs
|
|
rtc
|
|
uart
|
|
|
|
The virtualxt binary is built with an SDL2 frontend and meant to be run
|
|
by a non-root user. The user will need to be added to the "users"
|
|
group because the binary will open the provided boot images in read-
|
|
write mode, and "users" has write access to those images.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
usermod -aG users bob
|
|
|
|
(Note: the above is probably not necessary; the Slackware default is to
|
|
add new users to the 'users' group already)
|
|
|
|
The path to the boot image can be specified when running virtualxt.
|
|
|
|
For example:
|
|
|
|
virtualxt -a /usr/share/virtualxt/boot/freedos.img
|
|
|
|
(Note: the above is the default anyway)
|
|
|
|
If after upgrading from a previous version of virtualxt the console
|
|
fails to start, then you may need to generate a new config file as
|
|
follows:
|
|
|
|
virtualxt --clean
|
