Another one question: can I ask someone for the codes of a specific game when I need them here? This is allowed in this forum?

One more question if possible: which website has codes/answers for games? I don't know that.

Hi all, I have a question here just for curiosity.

1) What is copy protection? Why this is used in dos games like Monkey Island?

2) Where can I go to find codes/answers for games?

Thanks!!!

Can I use MSYS2? It is recommended?

I'm wanting to try this patch:

How I can install this patch? Does anyone know? I don't know.

I must should compile it?

Hi all! I was not able to setup DOS 2.14 on Compaq Portable Plus, because PCem crashed shortly before the boot with this error when "DTC 5150X" is selected: Unknown Xebec command - 20 07 00 00 00 00 I tried "IBM Fixed Disk Adapter (Xebec)", and it seems to not crash with this con...

My machine spec:

IBM PS/2 Model 70 (type 4) i486DX/33 8Mb without dynamic recompiler
Built-in VGA
S.Blaster Pro MCV
IBM ESDI Fixed Disk Controller
FDD1 - 1.44Mb 3.5"
FDD2 - 1.2Mb 5.25"
Dual 127Mb harddrives
2button PS/2 mouse

I got this error in the PS/2 Model 70-486 reference disk:
I'm trying to setup a PS/2 Model 70 (type 4), so what is this?

I got OS/2 1.20 (Extended Edition) working in late night. I managed to install it by using the reference disk I got from archive.org, I got a PS/2 software collection zip from it. Machine spec: IBM PS/2 Model 80 i386DX/25 4mb Built in video (VGA) Adlib MCA sound 30mb HDD with IBM ESDI Fixed Disk con...

I don't know, what you are saying?

I'm trying to install OS/2 1.20 on a PS/2 Model 80, but FDISK says that is no fixed disk are present.

Screenshot: This occurs in all PS/2 machines with the IBM ESDI controller. DOS 3.3's FDISK also does not detect the harddrive with this controller.

Hello all! I found an issue in SC3000. When Voodoo2 is selected in Preferences, it hangs when I click to start a city, in the city options window (or a starter city) (fps drops to 0, as shown in the status window). Otherwise, with S3VirgeDX selected in preferences it works fine, how this? What do yo...

Hi all!

I have some questions here.

1 - What is the release date for v16?

2 - Are PCJr carts supported? I have River Raid (an .JRC file) for the IBM PCjr, so how can I load it on PCem?

3 - The Matrox Mystique is complete or not?

Anyone have a guide on how to compile PCem, or install a patch? I'm looking for this patch here:
http://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=4&t=3396

I never done this. It can be useful.

And one more thing: you noticed the resolution in the Machine window? Is showing the original resolution or the same I explained earlier?

Yes, is at 100% speed when playing most DOS games, but in DOS text mode is 95-96%.

As I mentioned earlier, the CD music in Earthworm Jim 2 is stuttering even with 4x CDROM speed I tested on my DOS system, 2x speed will probably have stuttering music also, I will test later. Anyway I don't know if this occurs because of the CDROM speed, probably a bug in PCem. I would like to know ...

Yes, I know. I'm using only for testing and not for general use. Perhaps the Matrox Mystique won't contain any display bugs, like the Stealth 3D 2000, S3 Virge DX and S3 Trio64 have.

PCem is very slow with PMMX233 on my Core 2 duo P7550 and I'm actually using Win98 for testing, not for playing.

What PCem version you are using? I'm using v15, while I wait for next version.

The Stealth 3D 2000. I am using the default Win98 drivers also.

The one that comes with Win98SE. Also occurs with driver dated 8-21-1997 in both Win95/98.

Hello all! I found some weirdness in PCem (probably bugs). (1) The Machine window shows any program that use 640x480x4 mode running in 320x480, like X-COM Apocalypse's DOS installer: 320X480.png This happens in most of the graphics cards I used previously, including S3Virge/DX, Stealth 3D 2000 and a...

You're right. I also have some slowdowns in my SiS 496/497/Overdrive-83 DOS 6.22/Win3.11 machine, where I play my DOS/Win16/Win32s games. At DOS idle (text mode) emulation speed is 95-96%. And at Win3.11 idle is about 91-96% speed, but when playing some games (like Civilization 2), the speed gets a ...

One more question: how many threads my Core2 Duo has? What is CPU threads? I don't know about this.

Thanks. But what is better? Core i5 or Core i7/i9?

EDIT: I am using the V2 drivers provided on the NFSHS CD (dated 1-22-1999).

Hello! I have one question here just for the curious. What makes PCem much CPU intensive? I have extremely low emulation speed with PMMX 233 on my Win98SE test machine I've created, I tested NFS: High Stakes in it with a Voodoo2 (no SLI) and I get about only 9-10-11 FPS (as shown in the Machine Stat...

Thank you. But I do have original disks, I only have floppy images of MS-DOS 3.20 (Amstrad) and GEM 2.1.

What HDD controller I should select in my configuration? I already had created my PC1512 config.
