'''libx86emu''' is a compact C library for emulating a [[real mode]] or limited [[protected mode]] [[x86]] CPU. Like [[Virtual 8086 Mode]], it can be used to call [[BIOS]] functions from protected modes. Unlike virutal 8086 mode, it can be used directly in [[x86-64|long mode]]. It was created by the SciTech Software Inc. in the 1990's. It was integrated into XFree86, which was forked to create X.org, where it's used to access the [[VBE]] BIOS interrupts. |
