Re: Interstate 76 nitro pack crashes to desktop if run with glide

That happened to me once when I had a Voodoo1 and then installed Voodoo2 and viceversa. Try uninstalling the old drivers, or reinstall Windows 98.
Apparently the game works fine in PCem

Re: Suggestion : add GUS MAX and Crystal soundcards

Just wondering... why do you like to have the Crystal Sound Card? Wasn't that a cheap Sound Blaster replacement?

Re: Config manager

I'd strongly suggest Sarah, do PCem make the "configs" folder if it doesn't exist, when you return from your trip.

Re: Interstate 76 nitro pack crashes to desktop if run with glide

maybe is driver's issues.
What OS are you using Solstar82? Driver? Did you install the requiered DX for this game?

I can try to run the game on real hardware to confirm is a PCem bug, but it I don't think it can be before the next weekend

Re: Issues with EGA emulation

Are you using Intel's graphics on both? I suspect either is a dedicated GPU
If that the case: try changing the output: Direct3D or Direct Draw.

Re: 3DFX compatibility list

Actually I think the main list is very out of date. I'll refresh it when I come to do testing for v13. Indeed. It would be cool to have some kind of database where you can find a specific title and there you find if the game: - Hasn't been tested yet - Works with some bugs. - Bugs non related to PC...

Re: PCEM V11 crash on Windows 8.1 Computer

Also, it has nothing to do with the OS. Other people have successfully run PCem on Windows 8.x before, and I run PCem just fine on Windows 10. As I said above, I suspect you're using a tablet which has no mouse, and as a result, the emulator is failing at mouse initialization. I'm one of those! I r...

Re: [Patch] CGA monochrome & selectable mono display

The difference between a monochrome EGA or VGA monitor and a color RGB one should be fairly self-explanatory, no? ;) Seriously, monochrome EGA and VGA monitors weren't very common, but they were a thing. I just thought it'd be fun to extend the monochrome CGA support to cover them. Now that you men...

I agree with ecksemmess.

Re: Host machine survey

Don't worry, PCem is unaffected by video card's performance, it only relies on the CPU That's false. The graphics card can and does affect the PCem. If it does Direct3D 9 badly, then PCem will be slower with that, if it also does DirectDraw badly, then you have no way of running PCem at a decent sp...
