Talk:QEMU

Article Cleanup

I think we can probably delete a large chunk of the article as its trying to repeat a lot of what is in the official documentation. I propose the features it rewritten to give a more general overview of the features. Most of the accelerators sections could be removed. The relevant bits of accelerators and integration could be repurposed into a more general history section which can also include an overview of popular downstream forks. I think all the emulated platforms section can be removed and combined with the overall feature description with links to the documentation for the various platforms. WDPT?

QEMU Object Model

The article QEMU Object Model has been proposed for deletion because of the following concern:

Non notable component of QEMU.

Boot from USB?

"*It isn't possible to boot from the USB subsystem from within QEMU (it only can boot from floppy, hard disk, CD-ROM or an image of any of these (eg: an ISO Image of Windows XP Installation CD)), although a USB driver is available with the "-usb" switch, and will soon be loaded by default."

I saw that listed under the disadvantages of qemu and am wondering how this is relevant to qemu. The bios qemu uses (either bochs bios or bbios) would be responsible for this.

... be it under windows or linux you can boot any fat32 (didn't try others) bootable USB device (tested on QEMU 0.11.1 and later). As usual just "qemu <device>" add extra option ad lib. __clu

Technical label

This article contains a lot of Jargon, due to the subject matter at hand some of this is to be expected. However, between the length of the article, some of these terms missing a wikilink, or even being completely undocumented on either Wikipedia or Google^{[search for 'dyngen']}, I felt it right to add this label. --nora // 🌠 // meow at me 13:14, 2 December 2024 (UTC)

I'm looking for a more official statement. Thank you anyway. Polluks ★ 10:25, 7 May 2025 (UTC)
