Excuse the ignorance, but what does a manpage and a specfile do?

IBMULATOR exclusively emulates the PS/1. It would be interesting to see if that emulator has that specific feature

Merry Christmas to you and everyone!!

What I DO see troubling to me is that 8mb and 12 mb both have fixed 4MB frame buffer memory (at least the Monster, Creative and all known brands). So why bother with playing with the frame buffer memory from 4 or 2mb?

So, first my confusion is... Don't ALL Voodoo 2 cards have 2 TMUs, with 8MB cards having 4MB Framebuffer, 4MB Texture Mem and 2 TMU chips and 12MB cards having 4MB framebuffer, 8MB Texture Mem and the same 2 TMU chips..? :? I can't see where your confusion is. Indeed all Voodoos2 have 2 TMUs regard...

On what processor are you running that config? Ryzen 5000 series?

I was highly surprised by this release too! Sarah should be awarded the Order of the British Empire

Well, what I meant is that I believe the DB50XG is the best (or one of the best) wavetables around. It is far from having a Sound Canvas, but sound quite good IMHO

DB50XG is close to the Sound Canvas, so I'm very exited about that one!

SarahWalker: what did you take most time/effort to code? Pentium II and the chipset or the Voodoo3/Banshee?

Jesus Christ! I knew the Voodoo3 / Banshee was going to be released in v17 but the PPro / Pentium II took me by surprise!
I believe this was the best release so far!
I take this opportunity to thank once again Sarah Walker for this huge effort in coding

Just for anecdotal sake I used to have a couple of years ago a Samsung SD610. A 286@16 with Phoenix BIOS.
Unfortunately I sold it and didn't dump the BIOS. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=spNyRP3JY1s

I guess drivers are like ROMS, copyrighted and therefore not allowed to post here

This is working now! Thanks all!

Could you please make a short but detailed guide on how to make a Pi executable?
What do I need to download? What parameters do I need to type to compile? Thanks

serial or parallel null modem cables would also work and I bet it is easier to emulate

So when I have the S3 Virge/DX selected this is my 3D card? or my 2D card? Where to select 2D cards?

When configuring PCem before launching the emulated machine
Anyway, I have been using the Virge since always and I have no problem. You could change the driver in Windows 9x too

Try using another 2D card

(...) or wait for v17 to be released since the recompiler's definitely faster in the new version.

I didn't see any performance increase related commit recently. Where did you get that?

even if didn't reject first there'd still one image per drive at once

is that on the current version 16 or you just recompiled PCem?

It is frowned upon talking about 86Box here, that's another project

Too bad you didn't capture that top bar of the Windows to the see the PCem's status and CPU usage

That link requires access. Wouldn't be easier to upload to youtube as everybody does?

I'm very tempted to give Windows9xFan his wish, then get him to install Windows NT 3.51 (22 discs) and see quite how quickly he gets sick of it!

On what program do you want 256 colors? Windows 3.x?

I remember this ad for the Pentium II because it was funny
Was it seen in the UK too?

Would you consider making an official Pi executable from v17 onward?

For floppy drives, PCem should allow mounting images only when the drive is empty.

Why on earth would you want this?

At least it would be the easiest request to do

So... what do you mean here? If there is a disc or a floppy inserted and you want to insert another one an error message should pop?

I believe Sarah won't ignore a request because it's a bad idea but because she has a todo list with many thing pending to do
