I also found that an 8' floppy disk existed and the 8' 2S/2D format had a capacity of 1.2MB and was supported in DOS 2.x

I have never seen an 8" floppy drive for PC

Did you try another video card?

Not sure if this a correct topic. The 1982 game Paratrooper not working correctly on any XT-class machine. It has no sound on an IBM PCjr and keyboard control problems on other XTs. The PC speaker in PCem v14 sounds also garbled a little in this game. We have to be very careful on the PCjr - many g...

Could you provide the save game file? So we don't have to play all the 12 missions before

Thank you SA1988!

I opned the model.c file and saw that both the WinBIOS and AMI486 clone use the same chipset, of course, both BIOS files are different. Now, the question is: If I dump a BIOS from a 430VX chipset motherboard, should it work as a replacement alternative for the "Award 430VX PCI" motheboard? I dumped ...

Excellent job, thanks!

Is this game? The "Edition 99"?

Sarah is currently working in rewriting the recompiler

It is not a good idea to mention 86box here

Can you program an EEPROM with the original BIOS? Because they ship an "anonymous" BIOS
Very interesting proyect

So did it ever happen?

Yes! It is available in the latest version

I confirm it works on a real IBM PC XT with an 8088

2. S3 ViRGE is a video chipset, mainly for displaying 2D video, also did some 3D, but was very poor at that. Diamond Stealth 2000 was a video card made by Diamond Multimedia with that certain chip. 3. I don't know for sure, but my guess is slow than the original, since is an adaptation for slower ch...

I tried to run the game "Castle Master" with many video cards: Hercules, CGA, EGA, VGA with 8088/6 computers and it freezes in the castle screen. If I run it with a 286 or better, below the castle it says "PRESS ANY KEY" and the game works fine. The game shoud run on any XT class system, so my guess...

I've been having a similar issue. It's the whole reason I registered with this forum. Using v14, in either MS-DOS 6.22 or Win98SE in DOS mode, tried with multiple CD drivers, everything is detected correctly, but trying to access the disk causes PCEm to crash. When I boot Win98SE fully it works jus...

Indeed, I get the same error with Puzzle Bubble. It says it cannot recognize the Audio tracks. I opened the Windows 95's CD player and the Audio Tracks don't play right, I believe there's the problem. The Audio Tracks are properly dumped, as they sound fine in a modern computer. PS: I even lowered t...

Is that image from a game?
Can you mount those images with another emulator outside PCem? Like Alcohol or Demon Tools?

Bear in mind that Serious Sam: First Encounter requieres minimum a Pentium II and is recommended a Pentium III @ 550 mhz

Piftall: The Mayan Adventure works fine here
I'm sending you a PM about the other game

I didn't say GF2 needs to be added to PCem. I just said that both games work fine with GF2 64mb. If we get past Voodoo2 that will be a success.

Ok, I misunderstood. Voodoo3 is very likely to be added to PCem, however, the performance is near the Voodoo2 SLI we currently have

I acquired this HP Brio 8014 computer which is 430VX chipset based with a Phoenix BIOS. I think this might be a good add to PCem since there is no computer with the 430VX chipset. Is had a nice Brio splash screen ;) I know Sarah is busy with the recompiler, but is there anyone else who could make a ...

Can you add Serious Sam: The First Encounter (2001) and Serious Sam: The Second Encounter (2002) to the list. They work on both Win95 and Win98 with Voodoo2. The only problem is that game is very slowed down because it needs a more powerful graphic card like Nvidia GeForce2. Wow, we are light years...

Wow, great job leilei!
I didn't notice that huge difference between real V2 and PCem 14 when playing

I find hard to guess why one would like to watch a DVD from an emulator...

How the emulator works, I have no idea, but you can take a look at the C code if you know something about programming. As for the speed improvement, the owner of this project said that after this current release (after Apr 20th) she will start working on that subject, but that's gonna take some time...

Does it happen on all computers? I found a similar bug on the SiS 486
It seems the low density floppy emulation is kinda buggy

I don't think PCem would support OGG, but I never tested it...
For games with Audio tracks you'll find BIN or WAV format, but not OGG. It is a very bad idea to preserve games with lossy audio tracks

Btw, what are Mobile Pentium processors for? Mobile Pentium processors were designed for use in notebooks. They don't use the Socket 7 format, so in real life you can't put those Mobile processors in the current 430VX mother. I guess Sarah put them in PCem for a little more of speed, but I hope she...

I'm going to test it right now! Thank you for this release Sarah!
