Depends on a CPU , which you want to emulate. My pc runs fine pentium 75 emulation.

I’ve been using this emulator for a few weeks now, its great! I have my old early 90s compaq lte 4/25 still working, but I don’t like starting it up for every little bit of tinkering. So I actually used Norton Commander in dosbox and a serial null modem cable to fully clone my old compaq’s harddisk, then I created a virtual disk image and put the contents there. I installed dos into the boot sector. I used it a bit in virtualbox, but I wasn’t too happy with the performance. But now I can run my old computer without any problems inside PCem! In fact, I upgraded some of the specs a little, so I can run even more dos games from the pre 95 era. Highly recommended.

MiSTer is too slow for mid to late 1990s Windows gaming. The DOS core is only suitable for early era DOS gaming. You might have to wait for Replay2 FPGA which is in development as of early 2024.

PCem is perfect for me, because I already have a real Pentium II 450 machine that used to be the family PC and I've already upgraded it with a pair of Voodoo 2s. The fast CPU issue is already covered in real hardware. I also have a second gen Ryzen CPU so it should be perfect for playing around with a virtual 486 system.

Great editing on this one!

My biggest problem with PCem is the atrocious input lag. It was already bad in Dosbox, but it's simply unacceptable in PCem on all configurations.

My only question is, can it run X-Wing vs. TIE Fighter with hardware acceleration activated.

The saddest thing is PCem is ceased to develop. There is 86Box that inherits, but not much improvements were made any more but some more CPUs added. I'm afraid it's not gonna progress as much as the original dev. did.

i had a ryzen 9 5900hx, rtx 3080 (laptop) can i emulate a pentiom 2 ?

What's wrong with DOSbox-x? I have been running windows 98SE and DOS games perfectly in DOSBox-x, years ago.

Я запустил на PCem старую игру 1988 года. Называется "Popcorn". Это была моя любимая игра в 1991 году, потому что других не было. Так вот я её прошел всю! Нигде не видел чтобы кто-то говорил что в конце этой игры. Я не мог её запустить нигде кроме PCem. Она работает, но немного быстрее чем раньше. Я эмулировал 286 [8086] Amstrad PC 1640. На 386 и выше она зависает. Как сделать чтобы она работала чуть-чуть медленнее? Скорость в небольших пределах регулируется как на DosBox?

Can it use a real Opl3 card e.g. sudomaker retrowave or opl3lpt?

I hope you'll try _Midtown Madness_ on this emulator

What throws me for a loop with PCem and 86Box is the overwhelming number of choices. LIke I found myself spending hours trying to ascertain the best 8088 machine to use -- pros and cons. Same for 286, 386, etc. There's not many guides that recommend one machine over another and explains why that choice is the best one overall compared to the rest. Like, take for example the tons of 8088 machines. I narrowed down to IBM PC or IBM XT, but all the guides I've seen they always choose IBM PC and not the XT even though the XT was the newer and beefier one.

If you setup up your hard drive to use a .vhd file you can use Diskpart on Windows. You can then use Diskpart in the command prompt and use the "select vdisk" command like this: "select vdisk file=(file pathname here)" then you can use "attach vdisk" to mount it and "detach vdisk" to unmount. This will mount the drive just like a native storage device in Windows. I believe you can also mount VHDs in Disk Management if you want a GUI way. If you just use a raw .img for your hard drive though I'm not aware of anyway to get data off of it directly. Hope this helps you out. May want to look up a guide on the Diskpart stuff for a better explanation.

Well.. It is all true. But problem is you really need lots of old computers to get full experience. As for example if you use PIII machine and Windows 98 for running DOS games, and W98 have DOS-mode and great compatibility. But I found that it has already a lot of emulation in it. Real machine! Some soundcards only work inside windows dos-mode, and does not work in clear dos mode, because of how drivers work. Some soundcards also emulate soundblaster interface and so on. So in case of PCem, it is like having lots of hardware which will not fit in any house or flat. And the funny thing. I assembled old PC to play old games, the most old I could get was that PIII machine. I tried to run "Gender Wars" and it works alright in dosbox, but some interface lags were killing me. And what do you think? On REAL machine I got even worse results. The panel in game jumps while screen is scrolling. I was just laughing out loud literally. So much effort I put in old hardware and trying to make it work, and this PC even had USB so transferring files and drivers was not so hard as it is on older models. So now I guess I just get a modern CPU near 5GHz core limit and will use PCem.

The only thing really dying are the hard drives and, super unfortunately, CRTs. IDE to SATA adapters are your friend. Pre '99 parts are generally very reliable but capacitor plague era stuff can be a bitch. PCem can't emulate capacitor plague era stuff anyway. Most late '90s and earlier stuff is pretty easy to re-cap if needed. The best balance is to have real hardware for what your main system can't play at all. For me, that's early 3D games from 1995-1998 or so. A lot will simply crash under modern windows or will only work with super specific hardware combos. NFL Blitz on PC hates my graphics drivers and fails to find a suitable display mode even though the GPU supports it. The Pentium II 450 and Voodoo 2s shine in that department and it runs at an arcade perfect 60 FPS. It also runs most 486 era DOS games without issue. And there's DOSbox for the pre VGA stuff.

@@divinuminfernum It's not splitting hairs. Emulation and virtualization are completely different. They do not achieve the same results for all games. There are many 80s and 90s games that require hardware from that era to run properly, hence VMs are not suitable for such titles. PCem is not suitable for 2000s (and very late 90s) games. The only proper 3D video cards emulated in PCem are voodoo cards (voodoo3 is the highest), so only games that are compatible with those would run properly; at best it'd be d3d6 and some (most?) d3d7 games. Emulation is obviously far heavier than virtualization. You need a processor with good single-threaded performance, like intel's 10th and 11th gen and amd's zen 3, for the best results, IF you want to emulate more powerful processors. I have a ryzen 2600 and can, more or less, emulate a pentium mmx 200 for most games, plus a voodoo 2, although a 166 is the safer choice. What are the requirements for F1 Racing Simulation? If it has a 3dfx option, use that. There's usually a separate exe for that, either in the installation folder or on disc. I suggest you visit vogons.org. It's one of the best places for old pc games discussions, guides and fixes.

LOL!! 4ghz!!?? I have NEVER seen that kind of CPU in my life. The max speed i5 I have is 3.3ghz and that is a 4 core unit. So this emulator is not as good as Virtual PC from M$ then? Cause that software emulates old PCs upto P2 233mhz as well and does so well enough to allow a full install of Windows NT with sound and even audio recording apps working. It is scary how software now requires you to get a small home loan to afford outrageous spec hardware that is not cheap to buy lol! SO most of my PC units will not run this then? I have like I said, i5 3.3ghz quad MAX. The rest are 3ghz or less i3 and intel core 2 duos..

Why emulation dude.. virtualization is the way to go.

Virtualization sucks for most non NT versions of Windows, and if you do get say Windows 98 working somewhat properly, it's not going to be a very good gaming experience because of poor GPU acceleration. And uh yeah good luck with DOS.

@@NTGTechnology the developer pf qemu-3dfx has tons of videos regarding this same topic. Maybe it's not easy for normies. That's okay, but it works, even with win98.

@@NTGTechnology I got 3dfx and gl vortualization on EMULATION with qemu-3dfx on arm linux. It works great, not as great as virtualization (of the cpu, of course)

@@microlinux Well I had no idea this even existed so of course I’m not familiar with it. Again though, this only solves 3D acceleration under Windows. Unless QEMU let’s you have very specific control over what CPU and motherboard, along with other peripherals you have, PCem/86box will still very much have a place. Especially when we’re talking about XT era systems where you need a 4.77 MHz 8088 for a lot of games.

This guy lol... You know there is DosBOX and it's various incarnations, and things like 86box have been around... You should fix this video to state "Your" experience with old PC hardware emulation hasn't changed! The are many, many free programs out there that have done what you wanted for YEARS... some have been doing so for over a decade Heck even the program you are showcasing is over a decade old! Do some research... As a side note it was discontinued Days after your video. ALSO FYI PC EMULATION HAS BEEN GOOD EVEN IN 2017 ... Dosbox has supported XT-P3 era games easily. Anything on XP can actually be played on a modern system too.. so yeah There have been versions of dosBOX with Voodoo and 3d support around since at least 2013. Don't believe me here is a video from 2011 showing DosBOX with voodoo graphics kzread.info/dash/bejne/o3es1q2vmcTPm9I.html

Dosbox with a voodoo wrapper is not all that special. It also is not the same as running Pentium 3 games. This level of performance and accuracy is very new. Do your research. Nothing said in this video was inaccurate at the time it was said.

LUL YOU HAVE A WEAK SINGLE THREAD PROCESSOR, A RYZEN, WHILE I HAVE THE STRONGEST INTEL SINGLE THREADED CPU! SHAME! NOT A TRUE EMULATION FAN!
