Out of curiosity, why is GOT to be IDE?

maybe emulate an SCSI card

Good idea. I will check that. Thanks

I have an Epson ActionPC 2600 (486 with UMC 8881F chipset). I extracted the BIOS EPROM and dumped its content with a Mini Pro. I downloaded PCem 8 (wich I believe is the latest version that supports the 8881F) and put the recently dumped BIOS. Much to my surprise the real computer displays and EPSON...

I wish you nothing but the best of luck with the PCem project going forward!

I thought you were going to end the sentence with "May the Force be with you"
Joke aside, I am hugely grateful to SarahWalker to for this amazing piece of software I almost use it everyday for more than 5 years now

Look at this video! Roland SC free and LEGAL

Is it OK if I can make a patch to add this chipset and an Intel Desktop Board (Intel Premiere PCI/II) which supports it?

All boards/computers additions are more than welcome!

I have no idea about what you ask, but I wish you all the luck with that noble task

Btw. I'm running that game on another machine. A non-Packard Bell machine for testing purposes.

Another machine with the SB16 works? Try that to see where is the problem

Nice work!
Do you plan to emulate the internal C&T VGA in the future?

Are you using a BIN/CUE image or ISO? Are you 100% positive the image has the audio tracks?

so... we could plug external usb devices with this?

I would take a look at this chart as it shows the best processors by single thread performance

how about the Number Nine Imagine 128 or the Video 7 VGA 1024i. How hard would it be to add either of those graphics cards? The Nine Imagine 128 is for editing and CAD I believe and those cards are more difficult to implement, and really worthless. Besides, we all want PCem to play old games, right...

Heads are NOT fixed, that's for sure. If you click in the dropdown list of fixed HDDs you will notice there are many preconfigured HDDs with different sectors. I didn't test it myself, but I bet that to achieve 127 GB you will need a LBA BIOS or an external HDD controller (I think PCem emulates SCSI...

Like vbdasc said, many hashes for different revisions could be added and then next to each hash a statement saying that it works or it doesn't

I once posted a checksum and I had no problems, that's why I said that

just a question, would you be ok with an MD5/SHA1 of the correct ROM files on it?

The is no problem to include the MD5/SHA1, the thing is that there is not just ONE valid file. There are many versions of a same ROM and all should work

I believe my idea of serial cable emulation is easier to program and more useful

I still don't know how the host computer could communicate with the other computer with native IR. Modern computers don't have built-in IR, am I right?
Installing a PCI infrared card on the PCem machine?

What would be its usage? Transfer data?
I understand it came on notebooks only?

Did the i430VX have USB support? I had one back in the day and the pads were on the PCB, but they never soldered a header on the board. I don't recall seeing USB picking up in usage until the P2/P3 eras. Yes, it does, but technically USB is on the southbridge (PIIX3) and USB support indeed begand o...

It was on the bug's list here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3208&p=11957
Sarah is aware of this

I don't know much about the PCjr but these is what I found so far: 1) jr-IDE -- https://texelec.com/product/jr-ide-for-the-pcjr-by-retrotronics/ 2) a sidecar called "Legacy III" --- https://www.brutman.com/PCjr/pcjr_options.html 3) Use a ZIP drive BUT PCem emulated the IDE one and it's got to be the...

Did you try XT-IDE?

What do you mean by "we'll be fine" will this new Apple chips will be helpful for PCem?
Of course we don't have any details about the processor specs, but...

Just a few days ago, Apple announced that will soon start making its own processors for their desktop and laptops, those processors will be RISC based and Apple's aim is their processors to be faster than the current Intel ones. So... when the times comes, if we have an official PCem build for that ...

maybe your bios file got corrupted somehow. Are you using CGA for the display, right?

Select a 360 or 720 kb floppy but don't load an image on it
