Thanks to Sarah and all the others that helped with v17. I wasn't expecting PII to show up, but here it is. When I build a new PC next year, I'll be eager to try it out. Also, and maybe it's all in my head or maybe I did something bizarre to my host PC during the v16 to v17 gap...but previously, I w...

That's weird when you said "forgotten tank sim". Spearhead was literally the first game that came to mind and I thought "nah there's no way" and sure enough...lol. Anyway, for what it's worth, it works perfectly fine on v16 and Voodoo2. Thanks for testing out these games prior to release. If I had t...

Wow, odd time of the year for feature freezin'. Glad to know there's been some decent progress. yeeee

This is just my suggestion, but for an icon, I tend to use whatever OS I'm screwing around with. For example, I'm using the old Windows 98 .ico file for my PCem shortcut. Or for DOS, I use the old MSDOS Prompt .ico file instead.

I know this sounds basic, but have you tried enabling (or disabling) SLI on the Voodoo2? Some games require or don't support it. Also, try lowering Hardware Acceleration (right click desktop, properties, settings tab, performance tab). Also, depending on the game, some try to default to the other ca...

Never owned any 3DFX product, even today :( I always wanted one but even today they're all pricey. Got a P100 system waiting for a Voodoo 1 to throw in. Went from ATI EGA, Trident 8900D, I think a Cirrus Logic?, Rage 128 Ultra, 9000 Pro, 9600XT and up from there. I'm using the original 9000 in my c...

I'm a bit late here, but I'm ecstatic to see progress on the Banshee. After I read the initial list, that was the card I was hoping for and low n behold, here it is. The Banshee was the first 3D card my family bought for Christmas '98 and so I have some fond memories with it.

I've tested three of these computers at Best Buy with my own flash drive just for testing purposes. I don't know why but I laughed at the thought of this. Plugging in a USB stick, running PCem for a minute, then shifting down to the next computer lol. I'm surprised they didn't kick you out. I'm sti...

Thanks for the comments. I was on a binge for awhile. Recently, I started a part 2, but ever since I got my actual physical '98 rig working, I've been playing more with that. As leilei mentioned, PCem does support larger sizes now (and, Windows 98 Second Edition is also necessary to support larger o...

I decided to make my own topic to share with everyone all of the games I've tested on PCem. The vast majority was on v15, and a few on v16, but I'm going to safely assume that there isn't any negative changes from the update. The setup I used was the Pentium 200mhz, 3DFX Voodoo2 SLI, S3 ViRGE/DX, 12...

You know what? I completely forgot that the Mystique was 2D/3D like the ViRGE. I was never familiar with Matrox, and barely remember them back in the late '90s!

In regards to 2D, is the ViRGE/DX (or Diamond Stealth 3D?) the newest ones in PCem? My knowledge on 2D and pre-3D in general is limited.

I think that the Voodoo2 is the most logical choice for PCem, it always has been. It was viable for most games all the way until mid-2000, which is unbelievable considering the landscape at the time. With that being said, any other card that Sarah might consider (I tried asking in another topic her ...

Always excited for a new version. Thanks to everyone that helped!

The lack of Mistique doesn't bother me much, but Sarah, if you had a personal preference for a different 3D card to work on, which would it be? Just curious.

Yeah, ~8 hours of your normal job and then ~8 hours of PCem, all in the same exact room? That does not sound like a grand ol' time tbh. At least you're being safe. Over here in Cali, things are getting surreal. I can't work from home; however, only 1 other person is at my job besides me, so that's a...

I can confirm it happens on other games too. I tried 5 a Day Adventures (1995), and it's slow n skips on higher speeds. Drop it down, and it's alright. The game heavily utilizes QuickTime 2.1 I believe. At the time, I tried both PowerISO and the built-in drive. I just didn't think anything of it, un...

Up until a few weeks ago, I didn't know the true definition of "abandonware." For awhile, I just assumed that if a product wasn't commercially available to purchase anymore, it's considered abandon; however, it gets more complicated than that, with licenses and properties still being owned by an ent...

I'm not at my PC at the moment but Carma2 worked fine, and I tried the TDR2000 demo, and that worked fine as well.

I also went into an hour rabbithole about DCMA and the archival of old software via an internationally recognized library. Talk about a gray area, sheesh.

Alrigh sorry. I for some reason thought R&T owned the copyright to the first game.

TIL.

I edited my post. Abandonware (such as this particular release) isn't allowed either? I could understand something still copyright-protected.

Thanks. I was gonna say, I haven't tried anything pre-95 on PCEM yet so couldn't help him out.

So DSN, either use DOS 6.22 (if you're not already), or you have a bad ISO/CD.

Have you tried the original NFS? Only reason why I'm asking is because, although the Special Edition is suppose to support DOS, it was released primarily for Windows 95 support.

Regardless, I tried it on my Windows 98 SE setup, and it works perfectly fine (no DOS lines needed to run it).

Thanks for clarification. I'm no laptop or processor guru. I assumed that because of the power consumption differences, there would be more differences as well.

Naturally, mobile processors are less powerful than a desktop processor. See image attached. In this case, under the Dhrystone test, the regular processors greatly outperform the mobiles, even though they're the same speed. Most of the different tests there has the regular Pentiums higher than the M...

I'm sure this is obvious, but, did you patch the game to 1.21? And then to 1.23?

I tried the demo a few weeks ago, and it worked just fine for me.

I actually came back here to edit my post but too late lol.

Motorhead was actually advertised along with the Millennium G200 and not the Mystique. Got them Ms mixed up there.

Pretty cool! There's a game called Motorhead that was heavily recommended to use the Mystique. It'd be interesting to see how that runs one day.

Yeah I've never used another external device with PCEM so I'm clueless

Referring to an earlier post...I wanted to buy an external USB ZIP drive online. I have some ZIP discs that I haven't been able to access in almost 15 years.

If it doesn't work with my Win10, is it somehow possible to make it work via PCEM, just in case? I'm just trying to prepare myself.
