Re: Is it possible to use my xbox one wireless controller with PCEM?

If you can configure it as a game controller in Windows then PCem will be able to use it. I've used a wired Xbox 360 controller this way, but haven't tried anything wireless. You might need a USB cable.

Re: v16 released!

You may have noticed there is no mention of performance improvements in the changes for this release. So this should not be a surprise.

Re: HOST CPU needed for emulate K6-2 300 afr 66 With Voodoo 2 SLI

Each Voodoo2 has 1 FIFO thread and 2 render threads. So Voodoo2 SLI will use 6 threads.

Re: WHY PCem v16 RAM is locked at max 128 MB ?

Because the machine you're emulating has a 128 MB RAM limit in real life. Try emulating a more capable motherboard - ASUS P/I-P55T2P4 allows up to 256 MB, FIC VA-503+ allows up to 512 MB.

Re: Question about copy protection in dos games

I picked up the LucasArts X3 compilation a while ago (Indy & Fate of Atlantis, Day of the Tentacle, Sam & Max) that US Gold put out here in 1995. All three games still have manual-based protection, hence the pack comes with all three manuals compiled into one book. Except that they messed up...

I don't know. I have neither CPU, and there's no magic formula for what host CPU you need to emulate a certain configuration.

Re: HOST CPU needed for emulate K6-2 300 afr 66 With Voodoo 2 SLI

That will most likely be with only one or two cores active though. For V2 SLI running flat out you're going to end up with 7 active threads, at which point you _will_ need to overclock!

Not at stock. If you can get it to 5 GHz or so then _maybe_.

Re: PCem v15 Sound Issue

It's called being human. I genuinely forgot about this thread. And it's not an issue I've seen personally, or I would have fixed it.

Can you provide more details, possibly maybe a video recording or something of this happening? Something other than JUST SHOUTING.

Re: I don't think KEYB SP is working right...

Okay, I think this may be IBM's fault. I dug out the XT Technical Reference manual, and it looks like they completely changed the Spanish layout between the 84-key and 101-key keyboards. Compare 84-key : xt_spanish.png to 101-key : at_spanish.png So I don't think the conversion on XT systems is a bu...

I'm throwing in the towel on the Mystique. I've spent the last couple of weeks trying to fix games that freeze, games that reboot, games that only display 1% of rendered frames, games that run absurdly slowly, etc etc. The Matrox D3D drivers appear to be ultra finicky, often deciding to stop servici...

Re: v16 compatibility & bug list (WIP)

Is the RAM not counting after a soft reboot (via CTRL-ALT-DEL or Windows 9x restart) normal? In previous versions, when either of these resets were performed, the BIOS RAM counting would occur like it does on a cold boot or a hard reset. (Issue shows on Shuttle HOT-557). Yes, that's totally normal.
