Known Issues

Usage

VirtualBox is the recommended environment for running ToaruOS. QEMU is also supported. Using ToaruOS on real hardware is not recommended and we are not responsible for any issues you may encounter or damage this may cause. Other virtual machines and emulators are not supported and may not work. It is not recommended that you run ToaruOS in Bochs as the UI requires considerably higher performance than Bochs is capable of providing. When using QEMU, KVM is preferred but acceptable performance should be possible with the non-accelerated TCG backend on modern hardware.

  • VirtualBox:
    • OS Type: Other/Unknown
    • Memory: At least 1024MB
    • Video Memory: May need to be adjusted if you have a large display
