The flag I usually use for self-compiled WIP builds is -flto. It's a little more obscure to set in a cmake makefile (imo) but I haven't noticed any sharp drop of performance from a vNext -flto build (built on GCC 11) compared to a pre-cmake -flto build (built on GCC 4.7). Also logging in a non-relea...

Sometimes blowing away all the devices in device manager and then letting it detect for all the stuff on a different board works. There's also some rare cases of a boot virus affecting detection. There's at least one Win95 CD bootdisk out there that has a virus that sabotages MBRs and/or forces Wind...

It's like that on real hardware yeah, there's recently been one streamer (PMMX233 + ATI Rage + Voodoo2) going through having to clear it up with the menu refresh.

Well.... 1. GCC 4.7.2 (which produces Win95 compatible binaries) can compile up to V17. The dependencies after V12 (Wx and SDL2) will hate Windows 98 though 2. KernelEx can run V12 somewhat pcemme.png 3. While this high-end W9X computer is demonstrating PCem, running certain games natively with this...

Maybe this feature could be a good candidate for the plugin system? Optional and own thread etc...

I don't know what the cause of it is now but in the V17 days i've avoided mounting hard drives to avoid the everlasting process when messing about video-related emulation ideas. Just had some config to mount nothing and head to the WinBIOS

the wx default icon in the low color pixel form happens to resemble 3 crewmates nowadays...

Try -G "MSYS Makefiles" instead

Alright it's built. I'm now seeing a pcem.exe and libpcem.dll. Thank!

Going through that MSYS2 guide (after 3.64gb of dev env prep) deadended me... $ cmake -G "MSYS Makefiles" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .. CMake Error: Could not create named generator MSYS Makefiles Generators * Unix Makefiles = Generates standard UNIX makefiles. Ninja = Generates build.ninj...

There'd probably still be a CPU bottleneck. <bad idea> unless, somehow ......the CPU is also compute'd. GPUs probably could handle the FPU more precisely, but this all could be impractical memory read hell. Or maybe there's room for cache emulation... AS LONG AS IT'S NOT CUDA :( I have not had a sin...

All I could get out of a 3 at best was a i486SX16. 4 on the other hand was either DX4-100 with Quake at 100%, or DX2-66 with Doom at 100%.

Software rendering backend without scaling helps!

There's mipmap emulation, it's just that the LOD calculation isn't perfect. Try r_colormiplevels 1 in Quake3, they'll show. What's missing is emulation of the optional mipmap dithering (which selects mip levels using a 2x2 dither matrix to make a rough trilinear look, but it isn't very compatible wi...

For it to notice, you use -G "MSYS2 Makefiles", in a MSYS command line. Why I have no clue. And you just can install CMake from MSYS as well. If you were not using MSYS, I will look into restoring and updating them to the new structure. I will make it a TODO :) I honestly didn't think the...

I will start going though some refactoring to get it ready for a plugin interface and any bug fixes along the way. I IMO I don't think the MinGW makefiles had to be nuked. They were very convenient in that I didn't need to install autotools on windows as that was a pain, so right now i'm currently ...

Welcome!

On V14, change your CPU to an intel, as there's been a config regression since AMD K6 CPUs were added years ago. The crash may be trying to start a non-existent CPU from it

...you're not going to find any as there's no Win16 glide games. You'll want to pkunzip the driver archives (they're self-extracting zips) and move their OVL files around if it's just the few dos glide games you want. (for historical context, Win3.1 gaming was very much dead by the time of the Voodo...

The earlier Voodoo cards (named "Voodoo Graphics" and "Voodoo2", not Rush) are strictly secondary video cards that only have 3d capabilities. They rely on switching VGA outputs (monitor connected to the Voodoo card, which would feed in video from the host video card's VGA out whe...

You can already load many varieties of retroarch's CRT GLSL shaders (including chaining presets!). Making them internal won't be more practical. also that's a very bad and misleading "real CRT" shader example since it doesn't take in account for VGA's doublescanned modes (among other thing...

It'd probably be hell to implement in Wx, but (in theory) it's possible to write a GLSL shader that downsamples the output image and overlay another image on top as specified from a .glslp file. Extra immersion would probably require more shader variables for the num/caps/scroll lock and HDD/Power/T...

It's still all a big "depends on what you run" On v17, a stock Pi4B with cooling can get 100% with an AM486DX4 90MHz+S3Trio64+SB16(DBOPL) on most things i've tried, however VC6's still slow with regards to texture uploads on OpenGL, so the software renderer's still the best to use. Have no...

GLSetup was a video driver installer made more to answer Q3Test support emails (as many of them involved Voodoos at the time, and there was much mixed language of what OpenGL meant etc..no thanks to minidrivers). What GLSetup installs are the same drivers as the latest proper video driver at the tim...

You'll have to go into current.cfg and change the gl_driver line to 3dfxgl manually. There's many OpenGL games that don't bother enumerating the Voodoo1/2 (...by assuming from presence of glide2x.dll in many cases which is a bad practice) and switching appropriately to their ICD. Daikatana is one of...

1. Yes. There is an ARM dynarec
2. Win2000 drivers for Banshee/Voodoo3 cards do have some widescreen resolution support, but that's way out of the usable scope for a Pi that can only handle a 486SX consistently at best.

It's real behavior believe it or not! I76 doesn't know what to do with >2MB texture memory. It's one of those Glide games you should tick that 2MB checkbox for (in the 3dfx driver panel). And if that fails, use a Voodoo Graphics instead (with a 2mb+2mb configuration)

Enable the recompiler on the Voodoo emulation and the timing should be much faster. You should be seeing 48.2 on P133+w98se+Banshee

That's a question that's even difficult to answer with the real world variance of actual hardware. There's always a combination that a game will have a problem with. One of the more popular common computers in the US were 95-96 Packard Bell Legends, which were often lower-end Pentium machines with l...

I've also had some differencing VHDs not boot because it thinks the parent was modified - which they were never modified (and set to read only after they were created+finalized anyway) The only thing I can think of about this is... possible daylight savings disreprancies? Parent was 2-18-2021, diff ...

You didn't mention your video card. I'm assuming Voodoo3 from the regression of EGA fonts from the VESA 3.0 BIOS extensions, so try an older video card
