Thanks Sarah and Michael! My cmake's too old (3.10) to generate "MSYS2 Makefiles" but has the same trouble generating "MSYS Makefiles" as it does for "MinGW Makefiles". FWIW my building chain is MinGW32 with GCC 4.7.2 (with no IDEs). PCem v17 could build on that using S...

Hi, fellow new user! I've never tried SLiRP, but since there haven't been many replies I'll try to answer anyway. I'm not clear on how it works, if the guest tries to listen on a particular TCP port, does SLiRP start listening on that port on the host or not? If it does then could you just get your ...

I haven't tried this patch out but I'm interested in it because I have Dell machines of a similar era I'd like to try emulating sometime. Is there any work I can do to help get this patch accepted?

With the right tools it would even be possible to generate the floppy image on the fly... #! /bin/sh echo 'c:\\games\\chips.exe' > launch.bat unix2dos launch.bat mkp3fs -720 -dosonly -type raw launch.vfd launch.bat pcem --load-drive-b launch.vfd This sounds like a very nice option. A similar option...

Serial definitely, it's simpler and it's been done many times before. I saw your thread about that and might even try implementing it myself sometime.

I'd be interested in this because I have the real thing somewhere (unless it's another model), but actually implementing it would be very low on my list of priorities, and unfortunately nobody else seems to be interested

There is a disc changed indicator on the AT and later FDCs, and yes, PCem does update that when you load a new disc image in without ejecting the old one first. If this wasn't implemented, then in DOS you could DIR a disc, load a new disc, DIR again and still get the old disc contents. CD drives ha...

Should PCem transform into looking like a VST plugin interface too? Sounds great, thanks! :D But seriously, I have wondered about some things related to this topic before with regards to various emulators. For instance, I'm pretty sure a floppy drive controller has a disk changed indication that th...

When selecting an image file for a SCSI hard disk, the "Hard Disc Parameters" dialog box appears, prompting for the "Sectors", "Heads", "Cylinders" and "Type", and the first three are stored in the .cfg file. However these don't really have the relev...

Thanks, I was able to restore my 15 year old backup of my Windows 95 machine and it worked after updating some drivers! The only other way I could get it to work was with an old version of VMware Player, but I'm running on Linux so that's a huge pain, I had to run VMware Player in a Windows VM.
