After watching this video https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=niKblgZupOc I decided to try CGA Composite mode, but I found it look very different from what we can see in the vid.
Did this patch fix this? I tested PCem 11 official release without any patches

Welcome to the forum!
And while still not perfect, I also believe this is the best emulator out there.

Since we have some 1000 models already emulated, I think it shouldn't be difficult in emulatin additional models.
Do you know that chipset drives the 286 in the TL/3?

Great! Thank you! I know coding it's difficult and lots of work

Agreed, I'm running Windows 8.1 64 and and EGA works fine, Windows 10 should work too. Try switching video output between Direct3D and DirectDraw This is generic EGA, I would love to see more branded EGA cards like this VEGA's Video 7 http://www.recycledgoods.com/vega-isa-ega-vga-video-card-600-0055...

As Blatter said, what you are looking for I believe is on the Award 286.
I can enter the BIOS screen, but I couldn't boot an OS with the floppy drives

Is this what you are looking for? Or you still need that card?

Thank you AlecV! Very interesting

I guess using XMS memory with HIMEM.SYS won´t do, right?

Just out of curiosity, what application or game for a XT or 286 uses more than the 640KB conventional memory? So far I know none

Could it be possible to have the cache system on a dedicated thread?

The cache emulation is complete garbage, and I would have removed it if I hadn't had numerous people asking me not to. It isn't possible to do even remotely accurate cache emulation without destroying emulator performance. I believe the goal of every emulator is to be a close to the real thing as p...

In my opinion, L1 should be hardcoded and shouldn't be allowed to be altered, 16+16 kb on the Pentium MMX. You can, however, provide different options for L2 motherboard cache, 128, 256, 512, 1 or 2MB.

Thank you, and sorry for the long post

Also, in the boot screen it doesn't detect any L2 cache either

I run SpeedSys in a real 430VX motherboard with a Pentium MMX 233 and then compared with PCem11. Big surprise! L1 is way out of scale compared to real microprocessor. Pentiums MMX have 16 kb L1 for data (what is measured by SpeedSys). PCem, reports 64 kb using "a little" cache; 128 kb using "a bit" ...

That's called Software Rendering and it is usually slow, that is why 3D cards came to exist.

I'm actually considering making the repository private and password-protecting the Jenkins (and removing old binaries from my server), and give details only to people I can trust they won't ask for support with it here. Because it's evident that regardless of how clear I make things, people will in...

The improvements can be seen here:

Either that, or someone with enough patience could write a very small tutorial on how to compile PCem
That would be awesome

SarahWalker wrote:MinGW with GCC 4.7.2.

Thank you very much! I will give it a try

SarahWalker: what do you use to make the official release? Cygwin, MinGW?

I would like to propose a small request: can we have the option to write protect the floppy disks? Having the option to check and uncheck the protection in real time, from the configuration menu, like in WinUAE (by the way, they have a nice looking and functional UI) http://guide.abime.net/gguides/i...

That´s what I thought, not worth on today's processors.
Thank you for your thoughts

Probably a dumb question, but here it goes: could we get significant performance benefit IF PCem would be written in assembler? I know it´s almost impossible because of its difficulty, but I ask anyway

I haven´t tried, but... won´t Windows 3.1 driver work?

Did you try these? https://www.vogonsdrivers.com/getfile.p ... enustate=0

I Banshee wouldn´t make much sense... it performs very similar to a single Voodoo2, and the developer (he/she?) said that would work on a Voodoo2 in a future

leilei wrote:Well........ it was possible to use dual CPUs in Quake3 back in 1999 (r_smp). You're probably thinking of dual core

Yes, but, very, very few games, likely 5 or less before 2005. Quake 3 SMP was very unstable and didn't show any performance benefit from what I have tested (on a dual Pentium II 450)

SarahWalker wrote:Dual CPU emulation isn't something I'm planning on adding at any point in the future.

That's understandable. Dual CPU for gaming wasn't implemented until 2005, and games from that time work with current OSes

Hmm, interesting... what applications can take advantage of a dual Pentium Pro setup? I guess not that many... sure, Windows NT, but... what apps?

Yes, that's true, only hangs with the recompiler on, but it's odd that only happens at 33 mhz

Trial and error won't hurt

I already sent you those drivers via PM some days ago

Crash at BIOS after memory count on any 486 SX@33 (Intel, AMD and Cyrix) and every chipset (AMI clone, AMIWinBIOS and SiS 496/497)
Please confirm
