Many thanks for v15.

Given that there is a pattern now, will we expect v16 to be released on June 18, 2020? ... lol

I don't see a pattern here.
v15 demanded much effort and time, but Sarah has not stated there's going to be another mayor task for the next release.

EDIT: Installing gcc-4.9 and editing src/makefile to point to that allowed it to successfully compile and run

What Rasperry Pi model are you using? Can you please tell us what is the best CPU/Mhz PCem can run at 100%?

With the FIC-VA503+ selecting high clock rate for the K6-2 or K6-III result wrongly detected by the BIOS. eg. if you select the K6-2/533 it will display as if it were a 526 mhz - a 500 k6-2 the bios will see it as a 481 mhz

I just downloaded the new version 15. I won't call it a bug, but the zip file doesn't have the folders for the new computers/motherboard's rom

Thank you! v15 finally arrived!
One question Sarah: do you have more ideas for further optimisations?

Nice POST screen! Nice work. I hope it would be added to mainstream

OK i've went through the whole PC-DOS mini image

Slow ones:
D/Generation (66%)
MDK Demo (68%)
Quarantine 2 Road Warrior demo (55%)
Scorched Earth 1.5 (45%)
Ultima Underworld demo (25%)

Do these game work better after rev 1434?

Heck, for even more accuracy, one could go as far as to add support for a hard drive database file to match names, speeds, and dimensions (......and maybe samples) with

I support your idea, in fact I suggested something similar here http://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewt ... 4855#p4855

Wait and try again with the new version 15
It should be released next month

PS: What game is it?

talbin: the SoD CD-Version is the one distributed by FormGen? https://www.mobygames.com/images/covers ... -media.jpg

leilei: the antology version from iD is this one? Because it doesn't say "anthology" anywhere https://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/wolfenstein-3d__

Interesting!
Do you think you could add the save function in a future?

I don't see the point in bumping this old thread as someone recently posted this game works OK
http://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewt ... f=2&t=3197

Try to uncheck the "use automatic settings" and see if you can change some resources

Great news!

No. K6-2 if you have a _very_ fast machine and choose your software carefully. K6-2 means a nice improvement for high-end machine. And does it means OOO execution too ? Thanks for all the efforts put in this. Indeed it is! I'm very pleased with that Many thanks in advancement for Sarah for a year o...

I feel that after a certain point you no longer need to be emulating machines, because basic virtualization will cover those bases for everything but the "it's slow" part. There shouldn't be much in the Pentium 2 age that needs an "accurate" emulator to be able to do everything it needs to do. I di...

Sarah: do you still think it is possible to have a high end Pentium II or Katmais with current hardware? Based on the optimisations you been doing

That LCD screen looks quite authentic. Nice job

You also need to know what chipset and super i/o that award bios uses

I guess that joining the bios file is a wrong idea. The bios will look for another file that doesn't exit
There is already a couple of motherboards/computers that work with two file bios

I'd love to have serial cable emulation too

Congratulation for your work jepalza! It seems you have a good knowledge of programming. It would be great if you can contribute with some patches in current PCem.
Nice work again, congrats!

-Loading a DVD image from host drive works fine, but if using the ISO load option, in the guest it appears as a CD audio or it's not displayed.

I believe that's because DVD-ROM is not yet emulated in PCem

Maybe is not working because it has some kind of protection
Almost all games from 1999 onward come with a copy protection

Useful patch! Though I'd never seen 1.68 nor 1.72 disks! Were they used in regular 1.44 drives?

That's the most likely reason. Other possibilities are that it's idling while waiting for vsync, and it's mostly running the PCem-unfriendly Windows 9x idling code. Hi, just wanna to try my luck, was there any movement on this issue? Thx! Latest news was that the next revision of PCem (v15) is due ...

I own a 4790k and I have the same performannce as you tr.StEalTH. MMX 200 works perfect, always at 100%, but MMX 233 drops to 85/90% from time to time and depending on the game

Good idea, but I don't think I'm understanding how it may work. Let's say we have a C dynamic partition with only Windows 9x and then another partition where a specific game is installed? If that's the case, then we'd need at least two images for each game. One for the CD-ROM image, and another for ...

MSYS2 is a Windows build environment

Please forgive my silly question, I saw all those $ shell commands that looked like linux

Is this guide for the Linux build? How can I compile it under Windows?
