Re: PCem v18 News (Was v17 Notice)
Don’t know if this is the right place to ask or allowed to ask is there anyway to build a repository for drivers of the emulated hardware available in pcem?
It would be great to have a one stop spot to lay my hands on them like a virtual hdd or cd you can mount and everythings available.

Check your motherboard and graphics card compatibility 3.1 ran at 256 colour vga might need to do a reinstall once you get the hardware correct.

Re: Pc parts info
I’ve seen information on usb floppy drives but I think it was mentioned it would be difficult to boot from but works fine if the system is already setup.
I’ll have to check my sources for a bootable cd and if I got any cds to burn to
And join Vogons lol

Re: PCem's biggest limitation for 3D accelerted games
The people who created PCem and programs like it have done an amazing job and the quirks of 3dfx even in its era were a nightmare. I’m already grateful I can play many of my old games even the ones with glitches. Tho I would love to see an electronics project like pi or ardunio but a pentium win98 w...

Re: Lands of Lore 3 missing Textures Glide/3dfx Mode
Have you tried adjusting display settings or swapping out your motherboard and cpu.
When I get the chance I’ll try it in my setup and see what results I end up with

Don’t know if this has ever been asked but would a one button function to test the emulated system to the host system so you would know your build will work?
