Description

Supplies legacy BIOS firmware used by virtual machines and emulators that need PC-compatible boot behavior. It lets guest operating systems boot in environments that expect traditional BIOS instead of UEFI.

Most users receive it through virtualization software such as QEMU. It is not a desktop app, and changing VM firmware choices can affect whether an installed guest system boots correctly.
