Is it possible to run MuOS on virtual machine on windows 11? If yes - can someone say me how to do that?
Some time ago i was trying to do some PortMaster porting of RPGMaker game, but it was really annoying to do all file swapping on the console, so i thinking about first use VM, and if everything is ok - test on my console.

It would’ve been handy in theme creating too

Yes, I’d like that too. It would be really helpful for working with program or theme prototypes

No, not easily. MuOS is built specifically for ARM based handheld hardware. You can’t just drop the image into virtual machine on windows. You would have to emulate the architecture using something like QEMU, and even then, getting it to boot without the actual physical device is a massive headache.
