Re: Awe32 not showing up in 98SE

PCem does not emulate the PnP versions of SB16 and AWE 32, so they are not "plug&play" aware. Also, it is important to note that the default configuration of the SB16 and AWE32 in PCEm is not the most usual one, so it might be needed to set the IRQ and maybe even the Port correctly whe...

Re: PCemV17 Directory and Unicode Errors

First, ensure that you have write permissions on the directory and subdirectories where PCem is.
Also, you could be having problems with directories with spaces, although I don't recognize any of both errors.

Re: CD-Rom Player on PCem

I haven't seen the exact part of the code, but my thoughts on the problems when interacting with physical (instead of virtual) devices comes from the fact that the emulation stops until it receives the response.

Re: Running MS Multiplan 3.0

I tend to configure 386/486 machines with a trident TVGA . Possibly the application uses some VESA modes.
Else, check the documentation, maybe the software has a setting to avoid video detection or some video parameters.
Other than that, I don't know, since I never used that application.

Re: Mouse not working with recent msys2?

As I reported on the Pcem Issue on Github https://github.com/sarah-walker-pcem/pcem/issues/139
the problem is found, and is a PCem bug, caused by a change in behaviour of the method SDL_WarpMouseInWindow, which was documented to have this behaviour. (i.e. cause a mouse move event)

Re: Port Forwarding SLiRP

You can build PCEm with Slirp and also with Pcap. With Pcap you would have a better control since the emulator will have a different IP on your network, rather than doing NAT over your machine's IP. As for port forwarding, I am not sure if that was implemented. It means that the application (PCem) w...
