well I have managed to install and run windows 95 and windows 95 games on PCem, if you want to play 3D game you will need to have a powerful CPU.
there are plenty of videos on youtube explaining how to install windows 95 or windows 98 on Pcem

try running PCem as Admin

solved! this is one of those cases the developers messed with players! you expect it to function like other games but it doesn't, you need to press the highlighted keys to configure the game, so for Sound Blaster you press S, for Music you press M, for Calibrate Joystick you press C etc. they could'...

Hi, when I go to the configuration menu to set the sound and joystick the arrow keys do not work the only key that works is ESC that takes me back to the game menu, it happens with both the floppy version and the shareware version I downloaded from the publisher's website. I have 633kb of free conve...

I remember having to do that everything had to be inputted manually in bios that was my first computer build from scratch had dos 6.22 and win 3.11 took me ages to figure out what was going wrong and internet was pretty lame back then to search it lol you definitely had a more difficult situation, ...

update 2, apparently PCem's implementation of Voodoo 3 is not perfect the game worked fine on 86Box with no issues, this was the only game that refused to work on PCem other games work very well

On some of the autodetection boards you'll need to manually detect and configure a drive and then enable LBA or LARGE elsewhere to use larger drives. Earlier 486 boards likely won't have the choice. I prefer the AMI WinBIOS for socket 3 because that's what my VIP 486 was (though the emulated board ...

I ended up with an AMI WinBios 484 motherboard that was much less confusing to set up, I'll try what you said thanks. I did press F2 however I didn't who what to select as C drive! At one time I had a 486DX2 66 MHz with the same kind of BIOS. It's kinda my one my favorites in PCem. (Guess which is ...

thanks a lot

Hi I want to set up yet another MS-DOS machine but this time with a graphics card for 2D/3D acceleration, what do you recommend?

At bootup press F2 to run the setup utility. Or configure the emulated PC to have a SCSI controller. You don't need to setup the hard drive in the BIOS if you have a SCSI controller. Boot times appear to be slower because of the SCSI BIOS and you probable need to run the setup utility to configure ...

Hi, I want to set up a 486 DOS machine with Packet Bell PB410A motherboard however it doesn't seem to detect the hard drive automatically, how do I set up the bios so I have a hard drive to format and install DOS?

where do I get the ROMS for these nightly builds?

I think you should enable DirectInput. Windows 95/98SE primarily relies on DirectInput for game controller support. Make sure that DirectInput is enabled in your system. You can do this by going to "Control Panel" > "System" > "Device Manager" > "Human Interface D...

Is it an emulated controller or a real one? I tested it with a real DirectInput controller that works fine with other types of controllers available on PCem and and emulated Xbox controller, the result is the same, I do not think this was the usual behavior of a Sidewinder controller to keep pressi...

i5 4570 16 GB DDR3 1600Mhz Windows 10
it handles DOS games like a champ, emulating a Pentium 166 and Voodoo 3 Windows 98 is as good as it gets

Hi, I set up a sidewinder controller through PCem and installed the driver (from Microsoft website through wayback machine) for it on Windows 95, the controller works fine until you press a Dpad Button and an Action Button at the same time then it goes crazy it keeps pressing other keys! for example...

How should such platform look like? Does it need to be an emulator like PCem? Or could it be a compatibility layer like Wine or Proton? in my opinion we need new hardware supporting old platforms like Windows 95/98, powerful enough to plow through these games specially in software mode however I al...

PCem is fantastic when it comes to compatibility I mean what is more compatible with Windows 95 games than a Windows 95 machine? however it's limited to the era-appropriate hardware, I know getting high FPS on higher resolutions wasn't as big as what it is now but if we had an emulated GPU in PCem s...

I understand that it can be confusing to map the buttons on different gamepads when using PCem. PCem is a retro PC emulator that aims to replicate the hardware and software of older computer systems, and it may not have the same user-friendly interface as modern emulators like QT PCSX2. Candy Crush...

Hi I only managed to get a 4 button controller working in Windows 95/98se however I do need a 6 button controller for Mortal Kombat Trilogy and it doesn't any option under Control Panel > Game Controllers, even if I try to add a custom controller I can't add more than 4 buttons. what do I need? new ...

Hi I know PCem already has an option to enable gamepads however it's confusing how do I suppose to know what's the button 0 on the "Standard 4 Button Joystick" and what is the button 0 on my Xinput controller? wouldn't it be easier if PCem had a UI like QT PCSX2? we could easily bind an Xi...

update, the first release of the game works on software mode on both Windown 98 se and Windows 95 however other accelerator options give me a black screen, it was the second release of the game that kept crashing.

Look the game up on wiki there’s mention of mmx tech and 3d graphics of BRender might have to play around with the cpu or 3dfx settings don’t have a specific answer for you or play it on the PlayStation or sega Saturn emulator. That all I can give you to look into. could you give me the link to the...

Hi, I set up a Windows 98 machine with Pentium 150 and voodoo3 graphics it runs NFSIISe Gfxe just fine but Croc crashes after showing the fox logo, it doesn't even run in software mode. I tried using the official and third party drivers at no avail I don't think it's a driver issue. this also happen...
