Sometimes people want to do things just so they can see if they can be done. Like porting UAE to AmigaOS 3.1.... Completely pointless, but its done just so one can say they did it.

lol nice rumor to start.

It may seem like no big deal to you but to us who are waiting it's enough to know and I feel a lot better that there are no major snags. Thanks for the GUI mention . The github page has a little more going on and you get to see every change almost realtime. Though its not for everyone i know. I am ...

If you want to stay stuck in your bubble okay but it really did happen to us twice I refuse to change the story to please you. Each time we returned the Commodore 64 with the same broken J key. Twice was enough from different sellers and different times widely apart. Now we are done with the topic....

I've never heard anything so ridiculous in my ENTIRE life! I don't know whether to laugh or cry. No it's NOT super easy to find one unless you scrounge on Ebay and hope your not getting a dog. Dad always warned me to not trust Ebay he has been ripped off twice with a Commodore 64 and both had the s...

Back in the day, all three of them made using MS-DOS applications harder, Windows ME (based on Windows 98) being the less problematic of all them. For the Windows side of things, Windows ME was a Windows 98 with a couple of nice things ( like move to folder, copy to folder, a feature that didn't ma...

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 lightl...

@unreal: LOL be careful not to actually quote the link, had to modify your post @marzban2030: Post a romset again and you will be banned, we don't allow linking of ROMs due to copyright reasons. PCem just veers on the side of caution so that we don't get shut down. There is a few exceptions (Like G...

Every single other emulator for anything heavier than a Super Nintendo fully supports hardware acceleration so that is completely false. If the dev wanted to he could 100% find a way to make use of it. At the very least GPU emulation could be offloaded to it in order to free up resources for CPU em...

I would be happy to have an alt-tab hotkey... That is my most important request.

It's been through it several times because it's a unavoidable fact we're approaching a hard wall with the single-threaded performance of x86 CPUs so emulation that doesn't leverage multi-threading is going to get left behind since the point you can't brute force it with fast enough single-threaded ...

If I am not mistaken, A3d itself can be emulated. Though that is far from a complete board emulation.

I dont know what to say, it worked perfectly for me on my emulated mr386 and awe32

something that allows use of some key combo's without triggering global events on the host, like Alt+Tab is unusable on windows hosts. Which makes switching applications on windows virtual machines impossible in some circumstances.

Avance Logic is not the one to go for. The real gem would be an Aureal Vortex or an ESS Canyon 3d-2.

The answer is no. Just like the Amstrad Mega PC, which PCem only emulates the PC part, this is out of scope for PCem.

Now I find out.. I wasted 3 days tryin to get my MD roms to work.

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 ...

As said MULTIPLE times before, Pentium III and Voodoo 5 are not coming anytime soon, PIII support would be good only to have SSE emulation. But I would probably think a fictitious speed grade would need to be implemented to ensure smooth performance on most systems. Like a P3 200mhz. It would be pr...

Now that I have about 40 or 50 hours into PCEM. I have been conjuring a few idea's in my head for general improvements. Though I have no idea how easy these are or aren't to implement. And these have probably been discussed before. So my apologies if I am rehashing anything. I am also going to give ...

I think virtual CDs are the best way to use CDs with PCem. You will get very fast performance and with the Voodoo 2/3 it will look better than most Pentium PCs back in the day. One option would be to place your CD ISO within a PCem virtual hard disk and run Daemon Tools from within a PCem VM. I do ...

I also have a Windows XP VMWare machine setup on my PC. it works great until it doesn't since. The problem you're missing with virtualization is that since it relies on weird simulated GPU driver instead of a direct passthrough 3D hardware acceleration in games only works with a tiny handful of tit...

Just to make everyone is one the same page, what's the difference between PIIX or ICH-9 (or what computers had them? So high level explanation.) Which are considered the last Legacy OS and the first Modern OS? Ok, the Sound Blaster 16 and AC97 are pretty obvious, but you may this explain if you lik...

I will add this was on Dos 6.22 and was also used in windows 3.11. My cdrom device driver was VIDE-CDD.SYS and i use SHSUCDX.EXE for the mapper. And ram footprint is about 12k between the two of 'em. I have heard there are performance issues with this setup, but from what I gander it comes from high...

Is there a possibility that there's going to be support for DVD drives, so it could do DVD ISO images like DVD movies or DVD-ROM? It supports using Daemon tools to mount an iso on the host to share a drive letter in PCEM. And it works with VIDE decently well. One of the CDRom atapi drivers from Fre...

That laptop will struggle with a mid range Pentium classic in PCEM. My thinkpad which is a couple gen newer struggles with a 233mmx. Its about as smooth as a 160 grit hug. The good news is that laptop is old enough to still have support for XP natively. Pick up an inexpensive sata platter drive and ...

I'm not a virtualization expert, but it still would not make a single-threaded guest application to utilize more than one core; it'd simply make that one core more effective. In any case, it cannot be applied to PCem, as you also mentioned. I didn't say it would multi-thread a virtual core. Though ...

can the amd 3d v cache emulate p3 that kind of performance is only doable on a hypervisor that makes use of VT:x and/or hardware MMU for instruction passthrough.But that is not easy nor practical to implement if you still want some form of vintage hardware authenticity. Virtual Box, or vmWare Works...

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. Those are HLE. PCEM is not. Nor is i...
