Hola! Hoy vengo con Bochs... Es un emulador opensource para entorno PC hecho en C++ por Kevin Lawton.
Evidentemente en cuanto a rendimiento, bochs es bastante más lento que QEMU ya que lo emula TODO. Pero me ha hecho gracia probarlo por el hecho que es bastante arcano, que ocupa 4,2M y es muy "actual" ya que la última release, es del 26 de Mayo de este año...
Descomprimimos el código fuente y accedemos al directorio
$ tar -xvzf bochs-2.6.2.tar.gz
$ cd bochs-2.6.2
Instalamos dependencias para poderlo compilar
$ sudo apt-get install libxrandr-dev libxt-dev libxaw7-dev g++
Hacemos el ./configure para Linux
$ sh .conf.linux
$ make
$ make install
Ya lo tenemos!
$ bochs

Bochs Configuration: Main Menu
------------------------------
This is the Bochs Configuration Interface, where you can describe the
machine that you want to simulate. Bochs has already searched for a
configuration file (typically called bochsrc.txt) and loaded it if it
could be found. When you are satisfied with the configuration, go
ahead and start the simulation.
You can also start bochs with the -q option to skip these menus.
1. Restore factory default configuration
2. Read options from...
3. Edit options
4. Save options to...
5. Restore the Bochs state from...
6. Begin simulation
7. Quit now
