1 8086tiny is a completely free (MIT License) open source PC XT-compatible
2 emulator/virtual machine written in C. It is, we believe, the smallest of
3 its kind (the fully-commented source is under 25K). Despite its size,
4 8086tiny provides a highly accurate 8086 CPU emulation, together with
5 support for PC peripherals including XT-style keyboard, floppy/hard disk,
6 clock, audio, and Hercules/CGA graphics. 8086tiny is powerful enough to
7 run software like AutoCAD, Windows 3.0, and legacy PC games: the 8086tiny
8 distribution includes Alley Cat, the author's favorite PC game of all time.
10 8086tiny is highly portable and runs on practically any little endian machine,
11 from simple 32-bit MCUs upwards. 8086tiny has successfully been deployed on
12 32-bit/64-bit Intel machines (Windows, Mac OS X and Linux), Nexus 4/ARM
13 (Android), iPad 3 and iPhone 5S (iOS), and Raspberry Pi (Linux).
15 The philosophy of 8086tiny is to keep the code base as small as possible, and
16 through the open source license encourage individual developers to tune and
17 extend it as per their specific requirements, adding support, for example, for
18 more complex instruction sets (e.g. Pentium) or peripherals (e.g. mouse).
