PCem

Also techncially possible != practically possible. I doubt today's Ryzens can do an Athlon Thunderbird w/ V5... note that there's certain emulation communities that deny the existence of non-intel x86 cpus in computer history, which leads to misinformation that pcem can't go beyond p55c and that it...

As for Pentium III... Katmai extension requirements in video games weren't until around 2005 so there's not much 'need' for that. P3/P4 minimum specs were usually more for their performance targets, and supporting Athlon users was still important. It's probably technically more likely to hack in K7...

I never done it, but I guess you have to download the source code, replace the patch files and compile it.
Here is a good guide: http://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewt ... ?f=3&t=845

If I remember correctly, the Voodoo 3 can run on even a Pentium I, no mmx.

Yes, but why would you run a Voodoo3 on a Pentium I? A single Voodoo2 would yield the same results (I think)

Do you own that computer? Could you upload some pictures of it somewhere?

Interesting computer! Nice BIOS screen

I'm having trouble under DOS and ZIP too

If you are running the linux version of PCem mind the correct case of the bios files

larger than 2gb means is not a CD image. DVD is not supported

But you are right about purchasing the best single core performing CPU - I believe those are Intel nowadays

I have HT off, in fact I was the one who suggested doing so I can do MMX 233 but it struggles with some games I need to try the new K6-II and K6-3 yet Does your computer struggles with a Pentium MMX 233 with 3D acceleration only? or does it have the same problem with only 2D graphics enabled as wel...

I have an Intel 4790k at stock clock and runs a Pentium MMX 200 quite well Can your i7-4790k do anything other than the pentium mmx 200? and also do you have the hyperthreading off? apparently PCem works better if hyperthreading is off. That i7-4790k is a bit faster than the ryzen I was going to pi...

Thank you! v15 finally arrived! One question Sarah: do you have more ideas for further optimisations? Yes. It's mainly a matter of time and energy, and I don't have any of the latter left at the moment! Hi Sarah! How are you feeling? It has been many months since the last Commit. I wonder what are ...

Do you have any idea what chipsets these machines use?

Here it seems to be the chipset of the XPS 466V.
It has to be one of the chipsets already emulated, as there is no new chipset in this patch

Very nice add! Thank you!!

Anyone tried JEMM?

No, but I will. Thanks for the information

Tunnels of Armageddon crashes with the Hercules card after selecting the video mode
Works fine in Dosbox

You mean this? I bet is real behavior... I don't own a real Laser computer to test it though

I only remember Quake with some strange resolutions

So you mean there must be some black borders while you play?

Go with the Diamond Stealth 32, the Mach64 or any standard VGA card that doesn't have 3D features so it won't mess with the Voodoo

What is the most powerful model that retains the PCjr / Tandy mode?

Do you have the MobyGames link for "Ruler of the Seas"? I can't find any info on the Web. Who developed it?

I'm trying to define a new model in model.c but the Intel Southbride PIIX3 is in slot 07h which I think is uncommon. Should I modify one of the lines here? or is it pci.c? void at_brio_init() { at_init(); pci_init(PCI_CONFIG_TYPE_1); pci_slot(0x11); pci_slot(0x12); pci_slot(0x13); pci_slot(0x14); i4...

Anyway, I read both PC87306 and PC87307 datasheets and they look quite different, new registers and different bit values and that's out of my range for programming

Are you sure that this model use an Intel Flash rom ?

No. How can I be sure? And if it doesn't, why do I get that error message?

Thank you for the quick reply Sarah!
I'm currently looking and trying to understand "pc87306.c" - I noticed that all entries with pclog are commented with a double slash. Did you forget to remove those comments? Because they are not compiled and that logging is very useful

Thanks for testing! I found another bug:

When I toggle fullscreen (Ctrl+ALT+Page down) and go back to window mode again, I can't activate the menu in sam and max (F1) anymore. Can you replicate this behaviour, too?

Try using different renders: eg. OpenGL, Direct3D, etc
