Hello Arjen42 , thanks for the suggestion. I already took a look at the source code, but I couldn't find any comments that explain what's going on, and I'm not savvy enough to figure it out. It will remain a mystery to me until someone is able to write a proper manual or at least give a small explan...

Hello everyone, I'm trying to set up my PCem config file video options, but I can't find references to what each option does. Can someone please tell me where to find the manual? Where can I read more about all the config file's options? I was trying to get a fixed size 1280x960 window, and through ...

Dont know about linux,but on windows you have to install https://github.com/nmap/npcap/releases]npcap and then the internet works. I use pcem and i use VPN as source to play old multiplayer games On Linux even if you have the pcap dev libraries when you compile PCem, you don't get it enabled, only ...

My pleasure!

Did you first install wxwidgets from source as I told you? If you did, you shouldn't be seeing that error message. About pcem, I checked that there was a make missing before sudo make install in my instructions. Anyway I hope this works for you. I tested it on a vanilla Arch installation. If it stil...

To mount VHD files, vdfuse still works on the latest Devuan (no systemd)
https://sourceforge.net/projects/vdfuse/

CAVEAT: I did all this just to have some fun, I'm not familiar with Arch and I'm sure there's a better way of doing it. But here it goes. First remove all wx related packages that you have installed. Make sure you remove them (pacman -R) Then install base-devel pacman -S base-devel Download and comp...

Thank you. I appreciate it. It seems knowledge and documentation is scarce for this software. I've found out more about why it doesn't work. I would need PCAP and apparently it hasn't been implemented on PCem on GNU/Linux. So it's impossible. Bye bye networking on PCem. :( A few free programs out th...

So I found out that you can't actually access your local network with SLiRP. The whole no pinging question was also really confusing. Apparently I had to manually configure the pcem.cfg file to set my network device according to the numbering of ip a thanks to this thread , but whatever number I put...

It's not a system thing because I just booted DSL from CD and it shows the same behavior. It resolves to the correct IP but a ping results in 100% packet loss. Automatic configuration is this: Address: 10.0.2.15 Broadcast: 10.0.2.255 Mask: 255.255.255.0 FWIW on PCem menu the only Network type I have...

I didn't fully test it until now and it seems it's not configured correctly or something. I added the NE2000 device, with IRQ 10 and address 300 (matching the hardware config) [Novell NE2000] addr = 768 irq = 10 On Windows 98 It automatically configures itself like this: IP Address . . . . 10.0.2.15...

Amazing tip TR!
On PCem I set the resolution as "Custom" and 1280x720 and now it looks normal!
Thank you very much!

Hi, thanks for your suggestion. I tried, but I couldn't get it to work right. I managed to add the desired resolution (i.e. 1280x720) but when I set it it looks stretched and out of proportions. It's as if it's trying to show a 4:3 res but it stretches it. I tried 1280x720 (LCD) Any, Lock Total Geom...

What's the best choice for a video card for a Win98 widescreen system on PCem? is it even possible?
Any help and suggestions would be greatly appreciated

UPDATE It seems that it didn't take my flag for some reason the first time, I must have made a mistake. I recompiled again and... Now it works! I'd still like very much to check a manual with all the cfg file options. Is there such a thing? For the record the cfg option for a NE2000 is: netcard = n...

Hi, I'm not familiar with Arch, but I see the last line says " src/wx-ui/meson.build:2:0: ERROR: Program or command 'wxrc' not found or not executable"
Did you install the package that contains the binary wxrc? on Debian it's wx-common.

Hi, I'm new to the forum. I'm very pleased with this software, it's really something else. I'm trying to set up my first VM but there are no options available to me to set up the network device via GUI. I made sure I compiled it with --enable-networking.
