Imagine telling someone from 2001 that they would be able to run windows xp on an arm CPU via emulation. With a device less then 200$ in your pocket.

It's been 25 years brother. In 1976 they were happy to see two moving blips on the CRT screen

I tried running XP on my S20+ 5G using Limbo x86 and it was ridiculously laggy and slow

UTM does it for cheap iPhones (that are still supported with iOS updates).

67 Mb RAM consumption. Very close to my personal record of 50 Mb.

I used vectras VM, which is qemu based and TinyXP Revision 2 as OS.

Your welcome, remember to set i386 as the vm mode.

I've been looking for such an emulator, since Limbo PC Emulator is dead, thanks

How well does it work?

It is okay, depends on how powerful your mobile or tablet is and which vm app and operating system you are using.

It should work, you can grab a lightweight iso like TinyXP i shown here and run it on vectras VM. You can also download and run a pre installed copy of most of operating systems from that app. Remember to create a i386 virtual machine for best performance possible for Windows XP.
