I tried to run Windows RT build 8330, but I don't quite understand how to bypass the Recovery and BSOD errors. To install, you need to manually unpack the install.wim on the VHD, then create boot files, and boot from it. I managed to get to OOBE and even finished it, but then a BSOD error occurred.
If someone also manages to bypass the Recovery and BSOD errors, and successfully run WinRT builds, I'm waiting for you in this discussion! :)

Also, if you manage to run WinRT builds, write the proper guide on BetaWiki. Thanks!

P.S. Previously, I installed Windows RT 8.1 build 9600.17328 on this QEMU modification (v2) and it installed successfully (I installed it via ISO image)

I got 8330 and 8.1 to run using the 2nd config from binarymaster's release page (Configuration with boot priority: 1) USB CD-ROM, 2) SD card) after applying the WIM file (following the same instructions from the Win10 15035 BetaWiki page) and removing the CD-ROM parameters. 8330 is unstable, and there's a lot of BSoDs, but after resetting a few times it was able to boot.
