TeslaVM

QEMU is a well-known name in the virtualization industry and a reliable solution for emulating a wide variety of devices. Despite its speed and the fact that it can handle virtualization and emulation, the tool is quite complex and requires a good grasp of commands to make the most of it.

TeslaVM is a tool that wants to lend a hand to users who don’t know commands, but would still like to use QEMU.

The tool doesn’t require installation or extra configuration, so decompress the archive and launch it to get started. Providing that you meet the only two requirements - have Hyper-V on and HAXM version 7.7.1 - you can add a new virtual machine.

The interface includes a dashboard where you can preview some basic information about your PC, namely CPU and memory. At the same time, you can preview the CPU and RAM usage in real-time. Based on how many VMs you create and other apps that you have opened, you may see the CPU usage fluctuate quite a bit.

Adding a new VM is straightforward and entails specifying a few details, meaning name, operating system and the amount of RAM you want to dedicate. The program also enables you to select between a few hardware and graphics accelerators. While there is a Virtual Storage tab, the feature is not active yet.

The app is in its early development stage and does have some hiccups, the most noteworthy being that you can’t use HAXM at all on AMD CPUs and only the 7.8.0 version for the rest. This is why the developer added some troubleshooting tips on the homepage that you can check out in case you are having issues launching the app.

TeslaVM is an intuitive tool that provides a straightforward way to experiment with the powerful virtualization and emulation capabilities of QEMU.
