Re: [Bug] Window size changes when leaving fullscreen
You're right, xpclient. In v15 with this trick works fine but in v17 it does not.
At least, if you set the file to "read only" you could restart PCem and the window restores it's position. But if you try to enter and exit fullscreen several times, this is very inconvenient.

Re: [Bug] Window size changes when leaving fullscreen
No, Pcem writes this file on exit. You have to leave it as read only to prevent PCem frrom modify it. First, run PCem and change any option you like in Video, Sound and Misc menus. Then exit PCem and change window_* in pcem.cfg and set the file to read only. Run the program again to see if it's at t...

This was discussed here:

One workaround: edit window_* in pcem.cfg and set the file to read only.

Re: Letterboxed mode games
MotoRacer (16:9 mode) and MDK use black borders with 4:3 resolutions.
Games with support for 640x350 EGA mode with 16 colors (almost 16:9 ratio) like the original SimCity.

I believe that's because DVD-ROM is not yet emulated in PCem Well, it does work with host drive (real or emulated). It doesn't work with load ISO option.

For my project to maintain its current build standards, it has to be portable. Which means not relying on third party software that requires a manual install (eg: daemon tools).

Re: PCem requests for a Win9x Project
Good idea, but I don't think I'm understanding how it may work. Let's say we have a C dynamic partition with only Windows 9x and then another partition where a specific game is installed? If that's the case, then we'd need at least two images for each game. One for the CD-ROM image, and another for...

Re: Host machine survey
It is possible to include the fastest virtual CPU that is possible to emulate with the physical one? Or include a FAQ or pin a post with this information.
Mine is i5-3210M (2 cores / 4 threads at 2.5 GHz) and I am able to emulate up to Pentium@75 at almost full speed.

Visual Player 2.0 was a MOD (Amiga module) player for DOS. Sound Blaster 16 support is broken (no sound is output). In DOSBox this issue was corrected in commit r3850 but no new stable version has been released since. Changes in DOSBox code can be seen here . Is possible to port this code into PCem?

I have noticed that time synchronize depends on the emulation speed. With a Pentium 75 (which I emulate at 100%) I get a 2-3 seconds delay from host, but with no increase.

I don't think it does. You're probably creating an image over some fragments.

Re: v14 feature freeze end of Saturday 17th of March
Does the last commit speed up the creation of hard disk?
In PCem 10, in a 5400 rpm hdd, create a 2 GB disc takes 30 seconds, while in PCem v13 (since v11 i think) takes 2 minutes.

Creating new hard disc
PCem v10 seems to create a new hard disc much faster than newer versions.
In a 5400 rpm hdd, create a 2 GB disc takes 30 seconds, while in PCem v13 (since v11 i think) takes 2 minutes.
Is there any reason for this change?
