Bootbox vs Megaplay app

Bootbox is a virtual PC for iPad and iPhone. It emulates a complete 64-bit x86 computer in software and boots real operating systems on it, with no jailbreak, sign-in or server. CHOOSE A SYSTEM • Linux Desktop: windows, a taskbar, a terminal, a file manager and a WebKit web browser. • Linux Terminal: a full Linux console with Python 3.12 and pip, internet access, and Wine for Windows command-line programs. • Android 12 (AOSP): the Android home screen with touch and keyboard. It resumes in seconds from a ready-made snapshot. • Your own disk images and ISO files. A REAL COMPUTER, EMULATED • Up to 8 virtual CPU cores that really run in parallel. • Internet inside the virtual machine, through a network stack built into the app. • Files move between your device and the virtual machine, and machines can be saved and resumed. • Built-in benchmarks (CPU-Z, 7-Zip, sysbench, GPU and web tests) show what the emulated PC can do. GOOD TO KNOW Every instruction of the virtual PC is translated in software, so it runs much slower than a real computer. It's best for learning Linux, scripting, retro-style computing and experiments, not heavy work. The systems download on first use (about 240 MB for the Linux desktop, about 900 MB for Android) and then run offline. Newer devices with more memory run them best. Bootbox collects no data.

Your next favorite game could be one you make. MegaPlay is a pocket workshop for retro games. Paint a platformer, write a branching adventure, remix an arcade shooter, or put your own twist on snake and falling blocks. Start with an editable template, make it yours, then save and play. SIX WAYS TO CREATE Build platformers, dungeon adventures, interactive stories, arcade shooters, snake games, and falling-block puzzles. Each creator has controls and options suited to its genre. MAKE IT LOOK LIKE YOUR GAME Choose pixel artwork, customize colors and fonts, and import your own images where supported. Give your game its own title and visual style. BUILD WORLDS AND WRITE STORIES Paint maps, place treasure and exits, and configure platformer enemies and character abilities. Write your own scenes, connect choices, and create different endings. REMIX THE RULES Adjust difficulty, speed, targets, and genre-specific settings. Customize shooter ships and weapons, add surprises to a snake field, or tune your falling-block challenge. SAVE, PLAY, AND SHARE Test your creations with touch controls. Export projects as .megagame files, including their settings and imported artwork, and share them with another MegaPlay user. Projects run inside MegaPlay. YOUR CLASSICS, IN YOUR POCKET Import compatible DOS, PS1, and PS2 game files from Files. Browse your collection as labeled floppy disks and discs, add personal notes, and launch games from their detail screen. PS1 and PS2 playback is experimental. Compatibility and performance vary by game and device; not every title will run. MegaPlay does not include commercial games or system firmware. Import only game files you have the right to use. Pixel artwork, cream plastic panels, and a little floppy-disk nostalgia. Open your imagination and start creating.
