Re: 3DFX compatibility list

King's Quest: Mask of Eternity loads and looks really good, but it runs dreadfully slow even with minimal graphics settings, 640x480 and shadows and dynamic lighting turned off. Amazingly, I'm getting 100% performance on Mobile Pentium MMX 300, but again very slow. Mask of Eternity system requireme...

Re: v12 released!

Given that the testing prior to each release seems to take a minimum of 1 month, releases every 3 months are not going to be practical. I'm aiming to get the next release out this year, but no guarantees beyond that. Can we expect a big surprise for the next release? Probably something you been wor...

Re: Recommended settings for bog-standard i286

Is that site yours? Nice, but I don't see the TOPBENCH results, I think it is the most reliable of them all
What other utility is useful for benchmarking 2D video cards? "Final Reality" has a 2D tab and measures speed and bandwith, any good?

I like that idea of each card having a default setting.
I have a couple of the cards currently emulated. I can help with the benchmarking.

Re: Recommended settings for bog-standard i286

Something I've always wondered about: why is the video speed user-selectable? Won't there always be a single most sensible value for that setting for any given board choice and machine configuration? As such, wouldn't it make more sense for PCem to simply work out which video speed setting is appro...

Just a thought: did you try a Genius driver for the current emulated mice to see if they are compatible with Mouse System's? Because a Genius related branded acquired Mouse System and maybe they gave backward compatibility

That's right.
PCem should make that folder automatically if it doesn't exist. It is the easiest bug to fix, but it hasn't been address yet :shock:
