Where to find Qemu?

Where to find Qemu?

[Christian]

Hello listers,
I find Qemu on different sites, has anyone got a URL to the Qemu project website?
Also, I think I will have problems running it since my soundcard is not detected by Windows it need its own drivers. It is found by Linux. So it cannot use the Alsa drivers?
Many thanks,
Christian

Yes. It's at:

http://fabrice.bellard.free.fr/qemu/

. You're right that typing qemu into google doesn't immediately give
the url for the home page, however, searching for qemu in the projects
section on freshmeat.net does give you an exact match for the project,
and a link to the home page.

As for your sound card worry, according to the qemu user documentation
found on the qemu home page:

"The QEMU PC System emulator simulates the following peripherals:
     * i440FX host PCI bridge and PIIX3 PCI to ISA bridge
     * Cirrus CLGD 5446 PCI VGA card or dummy VGA card with Bochs VESA
     extensions (hardware level, including all non
       standard modes).
     * PS/2 mouse and keyboard
     * 2 PCI IDE interfaces with hard disk and CD-ROM support
     * Floppy disk
     * NE2000 PCI network adapters
     * Serial ports
     * Creative SoundBlaster 16 sound card
     * ENSONIQ AudioPCI ES1370 sound card
     * Adlib(OPL2) - Yamaha YM3812 compatible chip
     * PCI UHCI USB controller and a virtual USB hub."

The sb16 card is supported natively from win95 and up. I believe,
though do stand to be corrected, that win98 comes with drivers already
for most, if not all of the other sound cards. Win2k and xp I'm
99.999% sure definitely support the other cards by default. 

Yes, the windows running inside of qemu sees hardware emulated by
qemu, it doesn't see the physical hardware actually in your
machine. Hth.

I've had a lot of luck with Vmware player - so much so that I was able
to call someone on skype with it from within linux.
Every other time I tried qemu, even with k-qemu, it was very, very slow.
