Will you port Quickemu to run on WIndows natively?

[TechElliott]

I was a Linux user until I needed a program only on Windows. I love this program and I prefer this program over VMWare or VirtualBox. I would love for a windows version to be available. And yes, I tried this on WSL and it did not work. If it is even possible, please port this to Windows

This likely is better suited for the issues tab, as it's a feature request. It's not possible though, or at least, it's out of scope for this project. Quickemu uses QEMU, which is accelerated by KVM or other kernel-level virtualization. Windows doesn't support anything like this, and software virtualization is far too slow to be of any use.

Qemu is already available has installation on Windows, what's does you mean for it?

[lj3954]

QEMU is incredibly slow without KVM, since it must fall back to software virtualization. In addition, the entire quickemu project is a collection of bash scripts. It would require a complete rewrite to be compatible with Windows in any way.

Has i know there WSL2 that may allow KVM inside but i think it's will acting like an HyperV bridging an KVM inside WSL.

WSL is just a virtual machine running GNU/Linux. If nested virtualization doesn't work through that, you need to go through a support channel for Windows operating systems in order to find a way to enable it. Quickemu is unrelated to this issue.

I have no plans to adapt Quickemu to run natively on Windows. We are interested in improving the support for running Quickemu on WSL2 as the host.

Glad we found an alternative solution. Hope this gonna work.
