Windows XP on ARM Rockchip RK3588 with QEMU
In an earlier video I showed you how to setup a VM to run Windows XP on the Pinebook Pro: • Pinebook Pro Manjaro Setup a VM with ...
It was painfully slow, but with a newer and faster chip, Rockchip RK3588, it is a bit faster. Don't expect good performance, but it is possible to run some light applications.
Extracting and starting Avira from Hiren's Boot CD took around 30 seconds.
But for better performance, you are probably better off with Box86 and Wine.
You can install the VM manager and QEMU with the following command:
sudo apt install virt-manager qemu-system-x86
Start the daemon:
sudo systemctl start libvirtd
And I used Hiren's Boot CD.
