Hi, we may have better luck with KVM for the forseeable future than with VM86. I submitted a proof-of-concept PR here: https://github.com/stsp/dosemu2/pull/90, based on this article: http://lwn.net/Articles/658511/ At least on Westmere+ CPUs (first gen Core i3/i5/i7) KVM can run "unrestricted guest" mode which behaves like real mode and seems just as fast as vm86() but it traps less than vm86 so some things that dosemu depends upon (e.g. that INTs are trapped) do not work. That can be worked around though with some more coding. (Yes I am still alive but Stas has for more time than me to work on DOSEMU so I wish him good luck with dosemu2 so that's why I sent the PR to dosemu2).
