I know, I add this CD MSFS 5.1, but this didn't help... If that's ad verbatim, you can't have spaces in DOS folders. delete: C:\MSFS5.1\fs5.com x add: cd\MSFS5.1 fs5.com x to the last line of your autoexec.bat file. Assuming the path/folder name and command file name is correct, it should launch.

Is there a reason aside from just wanting things to load slower? The CDROM stuff was because there used to be 'CD drive speed detection' within installers for many games that bugged out. I'm not aware of such for hard-drives themselves. The insta-loading is kinda amusing, no waiting 5-10 minutes for...

I've never used Discord. My experience of using IRC in the past is that I find it _incredibly_ distracting. Think of Discord as IRC but with far better mobile support, webhook support (so sites like github will push an update commits/note/revision that gets posted to a channel feed), access/channel...

I'll see what I can do about cleaning and sorting some updated documentation in time. This next week will be busy for me but it should slow down afterwards.

I don't know a lot of C but this is something I can help out with.

Thanks for all the work that you've put into this thing.

If there is one it should be owned by Sarah. I'm not a fan of fan-owned emulation discords for the general grief they bring. Agreed. I read some talk about an IRC server before - while I spent decades on different IRC servers, Discord is really the 'IRC of the 21st century' when it comes to a commu...

Hello,

I'm just wondering if there's a PCem Discord community somewhere (and if so, an invite link).

Virtual PC, Vmware, VirtualBox aren't emulators - they're virtual machines. The way I understand it is like this: They allow modern alternate guest operating systems to work on modern systems by passing on the instructions directly to the hardware (via VT-d and the like). So the guest operating syst...

I posted about your #2 bug here as well: https://pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/view ... f=2&t=2863

It has to do with the dynamic recompiler, try turning it off. Its slated for a rewrite next version.

I tossed this on my laptop with a Pentium N3700 as a test the other day (my sister has the same laptop and she was interested in a few old DOS games). The fastest machine it seems to be able to keep at 100% emulator speed with the recompiler off is a 486DX-33. It can handle a DX2-66 if I don't play ...

Yea I saw that, but I cant seem to find it anywhere on the net. Latest I can find is 1.21

Snowman wrote:I just tested CD version 1.22h and everything works fine. I used 386DX/33 and 486DX/33-DX2/66 with and without dynamic recompiler.

I have the original retail disk, latest patch I could find was 1.21 on google for it.

Maybe your version fixes whatever's making things trip out?

Are you running with the dynamic recompiler enabled? There are definitely some odd issues with using that with lower speed 486s. Set it back to 66mhz with dynamic recompiler off, it works. Turned it back on... it works now? lol. I haven't a clue but if it happens again I will look at that first. Th...

I fixed it somehow from changing the CPU speed from DX2-66 to DX4-100. All games work now, even Warcraft. Going back to 66mhz breaks them again.

Strange, guess my 'DOS machine' got an upgrade. lol

Not sure if this is a PCem bug?

Hello, I am trying to play Warcraft Orcs and Humans from a legally owned disk on a DOS 6.22 system. It installs fine but setup/game will freeze when I try to run it. (CPU activity drops to 0, blinking cursor forever). The docs suggested to disable smartdrive and EMM386 which did not help. I even tri...

I know this was only a minor release for bug fixes but I hope Sarah will make some more so those of us who don't compile between releases can get some of the fixes that'll come before v14. But either way, keep up the good work Sarah! Meh, I can see the appeal on the distant releases. It's a coding ...

We all just enjoy it so much that it's like candy. More! more! more!

Thank you (and all contributors) for all the work that you do.

I just found out that it was a problem with Wine, not PCem. Changing Wine's screen mode to X11 instead of Mac Driver makes the mouse go fast, but it tends to jump to a random position as I move it. Also, I notice that the host mouse cursor appears out of nowhere even if I pressed CTRL-END to releas...

First thing I can think of: Are you using MSCDEX driver or one of the newer ones like SHSUCDX?

I had a lot of strange behavior using SHSUCDX so I switched back, with a proper config/autoexec setup you can fit it all into UMB anyways.

Thank you, yet again update time!

Using Intel 486DX-66 on award sis 496/497 board, 16mb ram, Ive been using this freeware coco2 emulator without problems so far. v13

Emulator within an emulator, heh.

erm, when I tried to close the 386 machine - it crashed. Not sure if related.

attached event viewer export in zip file

I used type 47 and entered the details manually. But I will try type 32 in there and reformat.

edit: I deleted the disk file entirely, remade it, and now it shows correct size. Not sure what happened there. Probably user error I've been doing that a lot lately...

Sorry about that.

I set up a new 386 machine, used a new type 32 hard drive from the list (17 sector, 15 heads, 1024 cylinder = 127MB) https://i.imgur.com/2cFIkjt.png Installed MS-DOS 5.00a using default options (auto format whole drive). Typed DIR, saw there was more than 300mb free. Used FDISK, get this: https://i....

Yea, I found that out after I made the post For some reason, it didn't extract the first time.

Not my brightest moment there, lol.

nvm, I'm smrt. The readme.txt file didn't extract for some reason from the zip which has what I need in it.

Man I spent forever digging trying to find it and it was so simple, even finding out 5 min after posting like a goof

Thank you anyways, and great update

Hello,

Is there somewhere in the source or documentation where BIOS/ROM files for the newly supported machines are named/located in v13?

I tried digging through the source a bit for a while and couldn't find anything.

Thank you

Messed with the win95 machine to add the SLI (and increased texture size), tried q3a timedemo again. Gained a bit of FPS even using a 233MMX.

I really do like the additions, especially the separate BIOS files. Thank you Sarah for the update.

v13. Made a new machine called "Win 3.1 (P75)" it truncates after the ., so the machine ends up being called "Win 3" in the GUI. This machine can't save any new machine details, (defaults to XT, no drives setup, etc). I can't even delete it from the GUI (can delete file itself).

I especially like the new config manager, no more messing with batch files.

With this config manager, does that mean that BIOS settings are unique to the machine too? As in, I can build two completely separate machines with the 430VX chipset?

sweet thanks a bunch!

edit: note, README and NEWS files are blank. (and Im probably the only clown that actually reads those, lol)
