Features

While Aeon is certainly a highly-experimental emulator, it is functional; some of the features:

• Simple to use - just open a DOS .exe or .com program
• Emulated video display scales to fit Aeon window
• Supports mouse input in both capturing and non-capturing modes so point & click applications are easier to use
• Video hardware acceleration provided by Windows Presentation Foundation (requires Direct3D-capable video card)
• Multithreaded design allows CPU emulation, graphics rendering, and audio emulation to be performed in parallel on multi-core processors.
• 100% managed code: runs natively on either 32 or 64-bit Windows
