This is great: I just used it to stand up a VM for people to use to access a retro BBS that only has a 16-bit client that just doesn't run on any Windows from the last 20 years.

It's a little undocumented and what's there is somewhat confusing (or it's entirely possible I'm just stupid), but it does exactly what it says on the tin.

You can embed the library to make other projects.

Yep, that's exactly what I did.

Just took a bunch of digging to figure out certain pieces of functionality that weren't outlined in the documentation/examples (mouse capture on click, and the fact you can split the disk image into chunks and stream the needed data at runtime were not exactly covered anywhere, but figured out looking at the demo site code and watching what the browser was doing)

I wonder if it will run OS/2 ?? that would be fun

It can boot any OS that can run on a Pentium 2/3
