PCem

That's........already what it does. A lot of this is frankly overkill for dragging the video card from CGA and sound card from none in their combo boxes.


The only preset profile I can realistically see is one for an Xi8088 PC for downstream convenience/compliance of a basic open XT clone.

I don't have those later X-Wing games, but have you tried slightly earlier Voodoo2 drivers pre-DirectX7? I.e. V3.03.00 The DirectX 7 beta (V3.03.00b) and latest V2 driver (V3.02.02) makes some Direct3D HAL regressions with a few late Direct3D games like AvP which came around the time of Alliance, fo...

I don't think supporting many specific proprietary formats are the way to go though. I'm on the CloneCD side of things where the same image could also double as a bin/cue and i've .ccd'd most of my copyprotected games (and sometimes, works in PCem if I use VirtualCloneDrive with them - but not alway...

Useful patch! Though I'd never seen 1.68 nor 1.72 disks!

IIRC i've only seen those from Microsoft...

You might also want to look into trying the ATI Mach64 as well, which emulates faster for me but i'm not a fan of its textmode fonts.


IIRC Win95 doesn't ship with a TGUI9440 driver, though DirectX 3 should have one.

The currently released recompiler does hiccup with the Windows desktop a lot, you're best waiting for the major rewrite to be finished.

The software rasterizer in Microsoft's OpenGL32.dll was always slow though. it's kind of a miracle they squeezed that performance - while being perspective correct - out of 3d maze on a Pentium at all! The video backend you choose shouldn't matter for the screensaver as it's going to through to GDI ...

There's also the particular textures you have picked. The color cycled ones likely involves a per-frame texture process + upload.

3D Maze is performing as intended. Note that all of the Windows 95B+ OpenGL screensavers are ALL software rasterized and render in true color. You cannot accelerate them. If you recall it being faster on a computer of that spec, it's likely the low-res mode. (later down the line, XP did accelerate t...

I've only had WinImage ever working with VHDs if I shut down the guest fully or let them run scandisk, and if the file is not locked by something else (PCem must be fully terminated and Windows/anything else must not mount it). I don't see any problems accessing the patch-created dynamic VHD with Wi...

ARMv7 and v8 recompilers work Ooh! 486/20 Assuming the AMIBIOS recompiler hang isn't present with 486s that slow, that's great! My curiosity is if there's proper treatment of the VC4 as the video drivers are pretty slow and would likely bottleneck. PCem for Pi would need either EGL output or use Op...

The only incidents i've seen it 'stay open' is when closing off a 256mb machine and quitting really fast probably during dump. This has bit me a couple times between rapid compile+test+change+compile cycles during development.

It's possible - if you're willing to write code and program the chipsets they expect. You can't simply just drop any rom in and expect it to function.

I've never found Topbench very reliable for any comparisons or benchmarking. My real computers, both fast and slow, would make matches with different generations entirely

I'm starting to try it and it's been working good so far!

Couldn't mount my larger VHDs beyond 32gb though but i'm surprised at the dynamic vhd support in this early, which is very handy for fresh setup.

I haven't been working on it since that video though, procrastinplanning on the CD-ROM sounds at the moment, and there's the GUI integration ideas. The hard drives could really use a mute button and while i'm proud of how my floppy drive sounds are still, i'm not sure if it could be versatile enough...

Anything to avoid autotools on Windows is much appreciated. From my experience, autotools has been nowhere near the "it's easy just install run autotools" experience expected around linux circles - at least for the old MinGW32 toolchain I use anyway, which probably has its own "just use X upgrade yo...

Unfortunately in my case, it gives me a segfault on boot. GCC 4.7.2 and gdb isn't giving anything right now

Also remember - booting Windows 9x will make the current recompiler (and interpreter!) struggle. always. there's no computer that can, so don't judge cpus from that instead, run Quake in DOS as that won't upset the recompiler. For me drop under 100% for that, I have to make fictional 333+mhz Pentium...

A more legal PCem-not-playing-PC-Speaker-sounds example could be Kentris. There's nothing heard in PC speaker no matter what playback speed

I don't like being asked when my projects would be done and out either. Overentitlement is demotivation and derailing a compatibility list thread for WHEN PCEM is extremely rude to begin with.

Newer cleaner video of the current floppy drive sounds

also keyboard was a bad idea that i very much regret

Veeeeeery informative. At least you can tell me if it's going to be released this year or not.

How NOT to respect others' hobbies 101

You don't need the SDK, just the runtime installer

DO NOT download individual DLLs from the internet.

It wouldn't be an Origin game without it being deceptively buggy.

I don't have much experience with the Plantronics other than using it as a CGA with overscan borders (which seems to be missing emulation on about every other card).

if anything i'd only bother to play TCP/IP stuff rather than any IPX tunneling (or any tunneling. the out of syncs could be the worst) and it would have to be on a server I entrust - which is not many game servers these days!

OK I've made floppy sounds now and i've done it this way: - there's two samples used for the head moving, and 2 samples used for the step, and 2 sounds used for the motor (which right now only turns on when seek is called and loops 6 times then stops) - fdc.c has a bunch of stuff_floppy_seek calls ...

I would think the joystick is taking over, immediately playing and not letting you hit space bar for keyboard play.

Any accelerated graphics take a ton of dedication to emulate as well and that Quadro mentioned is several generations of technology progress. The best OEM computers you can equate PCem's support to are the Falcon Northwest Mach V systems up to around Dec 1997 (Award-based PMMX233 w/ Obsidian V1s) wi...
