Re: PCem icon?

I threw it out there incase any newbies like myself wanted to do it but did not know how. I'm sure Sarah has better things to worry about other than this issue.

If you are taking requests, can you play "Hysteria" by Def Leppard please? I haven't heard that one in years. :P

It works reasonably well, my only qualm is 98 takes up at least 200 meg of disk space. If you don't have a bios that supports LBA, it isn't worth using. 8-)

Mouse problems in v15

I am emulating an Acer 386sx25n with dos 6.22 and have an issue with the mouse. One of my games is telling me I need a Microsoft compatible mouse to run. I have tried the Microsoft ps/2 and Microsoft Intellimouse options with no luck. Any ideas, or am I out of luck? Thanks.

PCem and Intel vs AMD processors

I am looking into replacing my laptop and was wondering if there was a difference in performance between Intel and AMD chips with PCem. I am partial to AMD but will consider Intel if they are faster, more reliable or perform better with PCem. What are your thoughts?

Re: Is it possible to remap keys in PCem?

There is no end key on the keyboard, the manufacturer left it off to save space. The right cursor key may be the end key. It's hard to read. If it is, would I need to press the fn key to activate? [edit} That's it. Nevermind, although it may be useful to remap keys.

I think I am in a unique situation. I can install PCem and run it on a notebook, but there is no end key. Thus when PCem is capturing the keyboard input, I cannot press "control end" to release and return to the host. I can borrow a suitable keyboard but it would be inconvenient to bring t...

I've been trying to configure PCem v15 on Fedora 30 and running into some issues. I keep getting stuttering sound when installing Windows 98 SE. I have tried several roms but have not found any satisfactory. Has anyone found a rom with good sound quality? Or is this an issue unique to Linux?
