What is BigTurtlesEmu!?
Big Turtles Emulator is a 3.0.9 WoW Emulator project coded in VB.NET, with a very new feel to emulation.
SO let's begin!
Required programs:
GIT - > Git - Downloads
Visual Studios 2012 Express Edition - > Download | Microsoft Visual Studio 2012
That's all it requires to my knowledge for right now.
What operating systems does it support?! WIndows 7 & Windows 8. Linux support should be coming soon, but Mac support might not exist ever.
Until then - You Linux guys wait and sit tight. We don't hate you!
Where can I find the core before I start compiling it!?!?

Are we ready to start?
Almost!
Let's begin!
1. Go into wherever you want the server and make a new folder. I'll name that folder "BigTurtleSource". Once you have the installed files, right click that folder and click "Git Bash". A CMD will pop up - Type "git clone git://github.com/BillytheOrc/BigTurtlesEmu.git" without the quotes. It will begin to clone the source. ^_^-d.
2. After that finishes, you will be ready to start the compile. What you will do is navigate into the folder, once there open "Server" folder and open "BigTurtlesEmu.SLN". Scroll up, make the combobox change from Debug to release. "Debug" - > "Release". Then click the green arrow and your source will compile rather quickly, as this is a very early emulator.
3. Copy & Paste the files into "Required", replace everything it asks to replace.
4. Set up the .ini files as you would a TrinityCore & MaNGOS .conf file.
5. Make sure all the SQL Files are executed INTO 1 DATABASE, not 2 or 3, but 1. We don't support multi-DB yet.
6. There you have it! Just run the .BAT file now and your BigTurtlesEmu is ready to go!
Note - We plan to update the copyright soon. No sue plis.
