Best video test! Нашелся человек, который снял правильный обзор. Давно искал такой видосик)
No problem
Very interesting, thanks. I don't run Windows, I been running Linux for about 10 years and this could open up a lot of my old Windows games to me.
Yeah give it a try, though you'll have to compile it first from what I've seen but you have been using Linux for so long so you might know a thing or two about that.
Also did you get it to run? I haven't been lucky with getting PCem to run on Linux Mint..
@@computercatgaming02 Not so far. I had trouble compiling it, due to not knowing exactly what dependencies were required. I installed lots of 'dev' packages, and that seemed to work, but then I couldn't get it to 'make' properly. I've sort of given up, to be honest. I don't know why, for this software, there are no downloadable binaries, or at least a more step-by-step guide to compiling somewhere. What a pity. To test it out, and see what sort of speed PC is needed, I might resort to installing a version of Windows on something.
@@MarkTheMorose actually I got it to work after a while but from what I experienced in Linux Mint so was it slower than when I tried it under Windows 10.
Very cool nice work!
I gave you a thumbs up for making such an informative video, but I wish I could give you another thumbs up just for the Lego Racers
For me this is clearly the best solution to play old dos and win98 games. It runs perfect on my small i5 config. Ok, it takes time to configure the first time, compared to other solutions (Such as dosbox).
And the addition of 3dfx support makes it very unique and the BEST solution for 3dfx retrogaming. I tried it on a cheap Ryzen 2200 and it runs even better than my i5.
small config you say? need guest specs if i dont mind?
Fan request: Mod the old Fallout games (1-2) and make a review.
I have a some more questions if that's okay, still learning about this PCem. Do you have a good graphics card file, or link to find it or anything? Also, just curious why were you not able to play Delta Force? Are you not able to improve the Emulation to play it? Are there games that won't play to it's full performance with the Emulator, it so, why is that?
I'm pretty sure the garphics cards are included but I can return on that. However BIOS ROM files for the motherboards are not included.
And the reason why Delta Force was unplayable was because it wants at least a Pentium II which still can't be emulated, and even if it could be emulated it wouldn't work on my PC because it would require much more processing power to be emulated. This is the reason why I am not emulating a high spec CPU in this video because my i5 2500k would struggle to keep the speed up.
So if your struggling with keeping the speed to 100% I recommend downgrading the CPU being emulated.
8:08 oh man, the first SIMS game is a HOG. I'd try this in a VM instead of PCem; I recall it having rather bad performance even on an Athlon XP at the time. Maybe that was because my wife loaded it up with all kinds of additional assets, but I couldn't imagine running this game on "only" a Socket 7 type situation...
"I have some small issues with 95...like with some drivers..."
I don't think that's an issue with the emulation...That was win 95 in a nutshell ;)
Haha yes, definitely that since I'm soo inexperienced with 95 since I always go with 98 when I install an 9x os on an old PC.
Agree 100% a lot of people say 95 is faster BUT I use 98SE as its simply much better to install drivers etc. JUST got my voodoo2 and stuff finally working with this now I just need to wait until PCem is able to utilize (or uses/emulates) better graphics cards
Can confirm
I have a secondary Windows 95 machine in my PCEM that's still half-configured because it won't even register a Voodoo card as a supported device even though everything says even a Voodoo 2 should be 95 compatible
Windows 98SE is just so much better in every conceivable way so that's what I use on my primary configuration
Can you upload The drivers bro ? I can't find them..
can you upload your configuration and virtual HD ?
whats the requiremetns to run pcem with max performance of 100%
Hi, pc cat ! I'm currently looking for a budget cpu especially for PCem purposes. Do you think cores/threads count matters for PCem? like, if 4/4 is better than 4/8 ? Can hyper-threading aka SMT hurt the performance? I know that PCem mostly depends on max #GHz per core and AVX + AVX2.... but I just can't let go of this wild guess, about hyper-threading influence. What do you think?
Yeah like you said, it benefits more a strong core than multiple weaker ones so yeah hyperthreading will probably not be your best bet. What's the budget and how new are you willing to go?
@@computercatgaming02 i guess something around $115 US, preferably amd, since AM4 is very versatile socket, future-proof. but im afraid that PCem is poorly optimized for amd.... i think ive read it somewhere, but i can't put a finger on it
@@ttfd I don't know how the performance is on AMD, only tried it on an i5 2500k @4.4GHz and a C2Q Q8400 @3.6GHz (the c2q couldn't handle cpu frequencies over 90MHz)
@@computercatgaming02 is a intel pentium g4600 enought to play 3d games on win95? I have heavy gear 1 and mechwarrior 2 in mind, thanks!
one day... PcEm will go multi threaded, or improve enough as that we can actually emulate a Pentium 2 :D
Either that or the single core performance and IPC will get high enough.
@@shadowtheimpure Man, we have been stuck with the same cpu clock speed for a long time, close to a decade. In some cases we went LOWER. They try to make it up by increasing threads, but that won't help a single core hardcoded program like PCem. Same happened with DosBOX... it wouldn't run properly on computer of the time, but at least tech was advancing back then.
where can i get the bin files?
Can you make a video on how to Rip games from a disc to a CD Image?
Good idea, that could be useful for some people.
Can you play. sega nintendo emulatorsOn poem?
v1.7 runs alot better on my pc but sadly pcem is now discontinued
Ever heard of a thing called 86box?
