Life's tough sometimes.

It's not something I have any desire to do.

3. On adding to PCem the emulation of MT-32 (and siblings, with the presumed requirement of Bring Your Own ROMs), would such an effort be tantamount to a duplication of effort relative to MUNT? Yes. Either you'd be bringing basically the entirety of MUNT into the PCem source tree, or you'd be re-im...

CD access just isn't efficient on PCem at the moment. All CD I/O (with the exception of audio playback) is handled on the main CPU thread, meaning that if it's slow for any reason (eg it's spinning up a real CD) then emulation will stall and performance will tank. It's something that's been on my li...

No idea.

NE2000 doesn't have a ROM. Did you pass --enable-networking to ./configure ?

Hmm, I would have expected the MIDI out option to show, even if the drop down menu was empty. Probably just an odd UI difference.

When you built PCem, did you pass --enable-alsa as an option to ./configure ?

You haven't provided a screenshot.

In the PCem configuration, in the video pane where you selected Voodoo 3, there is a configure icon next to the graphics card selector.

Specifically, you need at least 5 cores to run the main CPU + Voodoo 3 with 4 rendering threads.

6 - Voodoo cards have a FIFO/setup thread in addition to the rendering threads.

the cpu you mentioned will have a production process of 10 nm so they will have a higher ipc.

These two statements are unconnected. Silicon process does not directly affect IPC.

Dunno. Wait until someone else is stupid enough to buy them and can report back.

No. Doesn't work like that.

Knock it off.

tr.StEalTH: Please open a new thread for your bug.

I'll have a look. As a workaround, try disabling power management in the bios.

They're pretty much all ignored.

The _sole_ exception is on 386DX systems using the OPTi495 chipset (AMI 386DX clone and MR 386DX clone), where the external cache control will alter memory speed when 'Waitstates' in the PCem configuration is set to 'System default'.

What model / motherboard are you emulating for that setup?

At a guess, probably the same issue as viewtopic.php?f=3&t=3577

Interpreter only implements up to 486 instruction timings, hence a K6 with the internal cache turned off will be performing roughly like a 486 at that clock speed.

Look in the readme file.

Also new combine modes (particularly for multitexture), general purpose scan-time buffer accumulation ('T-buffer'), rotated grid sampling for antialiasing...

It's the biggest set of architectural changes in the Voodoo line.

Please pay attention to what emulator this forum is for.

Turning off 'internal cache' is a proxy for disabling the dynamic recompiler. PCem doesn't have any cache emulation.

Nope, PCem will happily display settings that will blow up a real CRT.

Feel free.

Please do not ask for copyrighted material on this forum.

Not really a subject for the PCem forum.

If by 'close' you mean 'they both produce sound', then yes.

Any thoughts on the Aureal Vortex/Vortex 2?

Custom undocumented DSP = no fun for the emulator author.
