I didn't say GF2 needs to be added to PCem. I just said that both games work fine with GF2 64mb. If we get past Voodoo2 that will be a success.

Ok, I misunderstood. Voodoo3 is very likely to be added to PCem, however, the performance is near the Voodoo2 SLI we currently have

I acquired this HP Brio 8014 computer which is 430VX chipset based with a Phoenix BIOS. I think this might be a good add to PCem since there is no computer with the 430VX chipset. Is had a nice Brio splash screen ;) I know Sarah is busy with the recompiler, but is there anyone else who could make a ...

Can you add Serious Sam: The First Encounter (2001) and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter (2002) to the list. They work on both Win95 and Win98 with Voodoo2. The only problem is that game is very slowed down because it needs a more powerful graphic card like Nvidia GeForce2. Wow, we are light years...

Wow, great job leilei!
I didn't notice that huge difference between real V2 and PCem 14 when playing

I find hard to guess why one would like to watch a DVD from an emulator...

How the emulator works, I have no idea, but you can take a look at the C code if you know something about programming. As for the speed improvement, the owner of this project said that after this current release (after Apr 20th) she will start working on that subject, but that's gonna take some time...

Does it happen on all computers? I found a similar bug on the SiS 486
It seems the low density floppy emulation is kinda buggy

I don't think PCem would support OGG, but I never tested it...
For games with Audio tracks you'll find BIN or WAV format, but not OGG. It is a very bad idea to preserve games with lossy audio tracks

Btw, what are Mobile Pentium processors for? Mobile Pentium processors were designed for use in notebooks. They don't use the Socket 7 format, so in real life you can't put those Mobile processors in the current 430VX mother. I guess Sarah put them in PCem for a little more of speed, but I hope she...

I'm going to test it right now! Thank you for this release Sarah!

PCem looks too bright... does it happen on every game?

Maybe should you add in the "Not bug" category "Pictionary " and "Hitman: Codename 47" (this later game has crashes with Glide, but works fine with Direct3D)
I made a review here: viewtopic.php?f=3&t=640

Google "vogons Sound Blaster 16"

Image loading is made via the main menu, once PCem began the emulation, there you have "Disc" for Diskette images, and "CD-ROM" for, wel... If you can't figure I will upload a screenshot Under GNU/Linux, which ¿ Main Menu ? Because the Windows version, have a Internal Menu inside the Output screen,...

1. How i can add and set a Floppy Drive, and Floppy Disk Image? 2. How i can add and set a Cdrom Drive, and ISO Image? Image loading is made via the main menu, once PCem began the emulation, there you have "Disc" for Diskette images, and "CD-ROM" for, wel... If you can't figure I will upload a scre...

Did you guys download this? http://pcem-emulator.co.uk/files/genxt.zip

I've committed a rough implementation of this to rev 1110. Seek times are a very rough model, transfer time is impacted by the existing ATAPI & SCSI emulation, but performance should be roughly correct, particularly for the lower speed drives. Thank you, thank you, thank you! However I will only wi...

Looks like Half-Life Doy, why didn't I think about that? But anyyays, question time - what's the latest game you've tested so far with PCem? For me was Hitman: Codename 47 (2000) - It has good framerate, however there are random crashes not related to PCem (it seems it works best with nVidia cards)...

Thank you very much Sarah!

Wait, what game is that?

Looks like Half-Life

8 bit ISA, 16 bit ISA, PCI

But we can change CPU speed and video buses on the fly without the need to reset...

I'm asked to reset PCem when I only want to change the monitor type in Hercules (eg. from green to amber). Is really a reset needed here?

Greatpsycho: did you submit your patch for Sarah's approval? It may enter the next't PCem release

I requested the same sometime ago, I also advised Sarah to disable the drive B as PCjr doesn't support and additional floppy unit, and causes trouble with DOS if you have it enabled

Try first using the more standard SB16. See if that works then go to the AWE32

Norton Commander would be the most logic, but it could also be a clone, or RAR for DOS

Maybe because the slowness is due to the HDD reading (the slpash image is a big BMP file iirc) and the VGA has nothing to do here

Dear Sarah: I noticed you have been working with the CD-ROM lately, I take the opportunity to make a small request. Maybe you don't find it useful, but I'd appreciate if one's could select the speed of the CD-ROM reader: some selectable speeds like 1x, 2x, 4x, 8x, 16x and MAX, to compare and feel ho...

Hmm maybe you have a corrupted image? Did you download it from somewhere, or you made it? (image)
