Re: PCem infrared emulation

I keep seeing talk about how it could be done and whether or not it should be done but I'm not seeing any actual useful purpose to emulating it other than for it to just be there. Something with absolutely no real use is going to be minimal priority over something that would actually do something or...

Re: Future graphics card emulation

Frankly the only graphics emulation I care about is getting enough distinct cards with different standards to provide complete compatibility for hardware-3D games. That's the spot where modern systems struggle to run programs the most. I always consider the goal of these kinds of emulation projects ...

Re: Any possibilities of emulating voodoo 5 ?

I'm fairly certain games that were available from the time the Voodoo 5 came about are playable on modern systems in other ways that don't require emulating an entire machine. There might be a few edge cases, of course, but for the most part it seems like you don't really need full-on machine emulat...

It only has to do with 3DFX. It's not going to change anything that isn't related to rendering 3D through a 3DFX card. Dithering and scanlines are also not the same thing.

Re: DOS games testing list

Have you already tried manually selecting the options according to PCem's configuration, if the game even has manual configuration? Not that I'd expect this to be the problem, but sometimes autodetection is wrong for one reason or another.

And either way, programming isn't a limitlessly transferable skillset. Programming by itself offers nothing, you need to know what you're intending to do in detail, you need to know the relevant language(s), etc.

I think the divide overflow thing is usually caused by running a game on a cpu that's too fast.

I don't know why it would be doing it on the pentium overdrive, since that's nowhere near...

Merely selecting an option in PCem isn't enough. More than that, you need a DOS mouse driver active to use a mouse in plain DOS like that.

Fullscreen fast probably runs at 75 because most CRT monitors were capable of 75hz to begin with. I don't know why the lower framerate is called "smooth" and I don't know what refresh rate PCem pretends to have, but in my experimentation with the most popular PCem hardware settings, I can'...

Does the game even support that resolution? I don't know anything about it but you haven't said anything about attemping to change the resolution in the game itself. Nothing online seems to indicate that it even does another resolution.
