Hello my name is MajorleagueIBM, and I am so proud too be here today for the first time.
As you can tell that I am a fan of the late 20th century, and I like being a late 20th century kid. When I was young my favorite computers are Microsoft Windows computers. And my family (much like others) had a multimedia DOS computer in the mid 90s,. It first started out as a DOS 6.1 computer and it becaame a Windows 3.1, and next became Windows 95. And I had some much fun playing games on it, especially those point and click games and Direct 3D games as well.
But sadly my old multimedia DOS computer is dead, and the is no way for my old PC games too work on today's technology.
I have a question, how many of you are 90s kids?
But when I first heard of an emulator. (Through like people that like too play console gaming.) It really occured too me. Is there emulation for PC gaming? Last night I looked it up and there were some, through forums like VOGONS. And there were emulators of my choice. And what I was confused on what can be more accurate. Virtual PC, Vmware, Virtualbox, DOSbox or PCem? What I picked was PCem, because it was more accurate too replicating my old Mulimedia DOS computer. By looking at the screen shots. At first when I firsted use PCem, it asked me for ROMS. So I was going around online and I found some ROMS of hardware the it emulates. I think that if you put it in the ROMS directory, and go into the menus too set up your motherboard, hard disk image video card and sound card. It was too emphasize that you are installing your hardware on a real PC. And when I installed IBM PC DOS/Windows 3.1 and Windows 95, it gave me the sense of how PC games were originally played. And that took me back too my old Multimedia 486 DOS computer.
And by using a PC emulator it can be like a perfect way for using backward compatibility on today's Windows operating systems too play all those old Windows 3.1 to 95 games we remeber playing.
Myself would be happy too support PCem and the commuinty.
And for you Sarah, this is some slick college project you are working on.
