You're spamming this forum at this point. How is it spamming when it's related to emulation of Windows retro? Fine I am done with forums for good. Forums are !@#!2 holes always wanting the 'narrative' and never want actual discussion. Just a bunch of political correct YES groups! I hate group think...

We all know about Windows 98 on both real and virtual machines but rarely is this ever mentioned.
What do you think of Windows 2000 vs XP both 32 and 64 bit on real and emulation?

What are pros and cons you've notice or heard about?

You have to have a business to post there. They want a bunch of details for a business in order to register and you have to pay money. So? This is still not a vmware forum. Find another site to post non-PCem threads. Where do you suggest? I never have seen any actual places and posts are all from 2...

Believe it or not a lot of it works (sometimes with glitches) on PCEM making it even more valuable. It's a great valuable resource for getting rare or older software/manuals/documentation,etc that you'd sadly be supporting scalpers otherwise (I cannot morally support buying off of random scalpers bu...

Run Windows Media Player minimized on your XP VMWare VM to get rid of that annoying sound stuttering and video stuttering. On a modern PC, to use XP in VMWare with sound stuttering and even video stuttering being a near constant occurrence is an annoying thing to see after years of powerful, reliab...

leilei was clearly referring to win XP on PCem (the mention of voodoo 3). This isn't a vmware forum. Threads like this do not belong here. If you have issues with XP on PCem, post those. You have to have a business to post there. They want a bunch of details for a business in order to register and ...

I don't think you know what Archive.org is. Since your unwilling to be educated I won't bother to post anymore but it's not what you think and Archive.org won many lawsuits in past years from vendors thru special loopholes. Pretty clever of them too SO THERE! Mr smarty pants. I almost donated to the...

Host system GPU has no impact on emulated CPU performance. As for 5800X3D: it's not the CPU to go with if PCem matters to you, unless you are okay with Pentium MMX or maybe entry level Pentium II processors. 12600K would be a much better choice due to offering a much better performance for a lot le...

What's not "fully working"? I haven't had issues with Voodoo3 and SBPCI on XP. It's a little sluggish but that's how XP was on the 6th gen PCs, and there's always been a slow detection hump to get over after setup that always seems to be forgotten about, especially as many first impressio...

How's PCEM V18 going now that we are onto September? Maybe it will be released on the 21st night of September? Working on it, Changing an entire GUI framework does take time , it's a major overhaul. And PCem isn't my day job so I don't get 24/7 to code on it. :) Just glad to know that. :) Little ti...

On Windows 98 SE Retail ISO I can install Sim City 3000 okay and it plays smoothly but the Unlimited version throws up a 'Not a Valid Win 32 Application' message on both the original ISO and the GOG ISO I downloaded which needs at least 2000 to install. Any work arounds? The PC Gaming Wiki says Wind...

Is the demand just not there? You'd think 20 years later someone would've figured something out: It seems like Xenia in terms of emulation. I feel like we will be able to have full Forza Horizon races without missing textures or random crashes before we have a decent XP and I DON'T take that lightly...

I finally got it to work by installing the retail version which seemed to work best with the instruction video. The non retail couldn't seem to get it going. I think the OEM has something weird.

If you don't play 2003 and newer games on PCem (which would mostly run poorly, if at all), you don't need to install DX9. Are you using an EU release? NFS3's european releases have securom protection, so they don't work. You need the US release, or the exe file from that release, or a crack. Most g...

USA ISO. The only one that shows up from Archive. There's a fake Abandonware site that also shows up DON'T CLICK ON IT! I've done it before and had to redo PCEM and put Win98SE in and now doesn't work: I tried both on a Pentium MMX Overdrive and Pentium II. it doesn't matter which display I use. It ...

How's PCEM V18 going now that we are onto September? Maybe it will be released on the 21st night of September?

Whenever I install Quicktime 4.0 to 6.0 it installed and it crashes saying "This program has performed an illegal operation and will be shut down. If the problem persists, contact the program vendor." there must be a bug on PCem where I try to install on Windows 9x platforms but it instal...

Does anyone know what the reason for the lag is when passing through the host's optical drive? Is it just a matter of needing a more powerful host machine? That's been my 1 million silver rupee question that nobody seems to be able to answer. I think it's some kind of quirk in the coding that's fra...

Any solutions? Here's what I did below: I have Windows 98 SE installed with up to True Color 32 bit supported and Direct X9.0 installed. I install Need For Speed 3 Hot Pursuit so when I go to run it flashes and crashes. No error message and I tried it on Socket 7 Penitum Overdrive MMX AND Socket 8 P...

What I wrote in bold I think is a bit worrying for you AMD users. Is that going to help or tank PCEM performance compared to higher end I7's like what I have? My older I7 7th had a poor graphics card but a higher clock speed: so I got a new one which works great but it has a lower clock speed at 2.8...

Turns out I was pressing NEXT to soon not letting it complete it's thing.

Hello everyone. Fate T. Harlaown the Second here from Project Fate . Alicia . It's been while that I didn't post my new topic since mid-2019. And now, I need to tell you something. Today, I expecienced a bug in the Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 graphics card when I was trying to install Windows 98 Second...

I thought it was just me. I noticed it was monochrome too but didn't think much of it and just used S3Virge as these forums were permanently down at the time. Not sure why it has such a bug and the author unwilling to admit it even with your screenshot of proof to show it.

eBay is an online marketplace where various sellers from all over the world list their items for sale. Although it's possible to get scammed, eBay also offers buyer protection with every transaction. I've been buying stuff from eBay sellers since the mid 2000s and never got ripped off. Of course I ...

I've managed to remove safedisc with it, for example from the original release of rainbow six. Unsafedisc supports up to safedisc v1.50. The original sims releases have 1.40 or 1.41, depending on the region, so it should work for them. The house party expansion switched to v2, and later collection ...

The tutorials all show this: https://youtu.be/x3zwpHxmmns?t=1832 and I do not have the 'other locations' message it just automatically says version not available where the video trailer shows he was able to browse to find the correct location which is C:\DRIVERS\VODOO2. When I go to that location on...

About any of them that added Vulkan support have some level of multi-threading when using that API because AMD designed it to be well optimized for multi-core CPUs. Running Dolphin on a CPU with weak single core like an FX is night and day between DX and Vulkan. This forum has been through this &qu...

I ran out of breath reading that..... There are more appropriate base band glide wrappers if you want that level of performance. VSA100 really brought nothing to the table for glide. My V3 3000 has just as good of quality as my V5 does in most glide titles. And in cases where I turn on FSAA and hig...

Are you getting the new VooDoo graphics cards and maybe optimizing it for 64-bit and dropping support for Windows XP/Vista/7/8 and only supporting it for Windows 10/11 64-bit and I would love to hope that a new V18 will be released with Pentium III and VooDoo 5 graphics card if possible and making ...
