Thank you so much. I’ve been using this video for years and I cannot tell you the feeling of happiness i felt when I was able to play my old childhood games again
Thanks a lot for making this tutorial and providing the links. Everything worked very well for me!
Thank you for you kind words. Gald to hear it.
Thanks for this. I was going to ask what spec you were running. I have an Intel i7 and struggle to get anything higher than a P90.
Why was yours running so well? Is it to do with the roms you overwrite at the beginning? I just used the stock options.
Nothing special in my specs.
I5 4690K 3.5GHZ.
XFX R9 280 1000MHZ 3gb
16 gb ram.
I had it running on windows 7. Now is running on windows 10. The files are the same, just overwritten the files to avoid additional steps. Just uncompressed.
:-)
Ok, thanks. It might have been the settings I used. I'll probably give it another try following your exact steps and files to see if that works better for me.
For those that don't want to use an ISO, you can manually edit the image with Winimage And put the games into a directory manually.
Hey! I want to thank you for the video, it's perfectly explained. But I can't install the drivers at the minute 34. The error says: "General failure reading drive A". What can I do?
Thanks to you my friend, please, Make sure you are loading the image from the floppy drive and not cd rom.
Liked the tutorial dude well done
Ahmed Ali Thank you, very appreciated. This in fact i didnt know since i have a med machine never had any problen, but now anyone who read your comment is aware of your experience. Thank you again.
I found my range between those values 100 - 120 MHz ... below that my games lose fps and above it Pcem starts complaining ..... balancing the performance will depend on the host rig but I'm satisfied with my results with it .... at least better than VirtualBox by miles.
I forgot to add you should enable Voodoo2 in Pcem and install it's driver if you intend to play 3D stuff , it will greatly improve the quality.
Hi, thank you for the tutorial and the files, everything works fine. I read in comments that you have i5 4690K 3.5GHZ like I do, so I am wondering what are the best CPU and GPU you managed to emulate using your CPU ?
Well. to be honest, i had once a while (before my hard drive went broken), Windows xp, even i played a couple of games with no problem. In that time i had windows 7 so Windows Xp is the most recent Os i emulated. That and Kali Linux , both version with no problems and both using Virtual Box.
I have an XFX R9 280 3Gb 1000Mhz , and in every system i emulated i have no problem.
@@MavG Thank you for the reply, but I was thinking about PCem. Here you use Pentium 133, did you try using Pentium MMX 233 ? Also what would be the best GPU from the ones available for PCem ?
@@antoniorsoftware every i used with pcem worked great with no problem. So no problem found with any machine. As for gpu everybody seems to agreed with vodoo graphics which is the best for gameplay, again you can try vodoo or any of your preference.
So at this point your cpu and gpu is more than enough to play.
You can switch between machines and see how behaves even if you have already installed you Os.
If you want to even improve further your gameplay with the sound you can configure munt32 with pcem tto emulate those games that use mt-32, the sound is more beatiful.
Hope this help.
@@MavG Thanks, I did not know I can change my machine after installing OS, this saved me a lot of time. With Voodoo now I get 2-3 times better performance in some 3D games and it also fixed many graphical errors. Do you know where I can find a good tutorial for munt32 with PCem ?
@@antoniorsoftware yeah, check my other videos. I made one a while ago.
Coud you tell me which values i need to put in Sectors, Heads and Cylinders if i want to use a 8 GB HDD?
I remember doing this only changing the value of the Cylinders (not touch sector or heads). In you case Cylinders must be 16254 to obtain a 8 Gb Hdd .
May I ask what the benefit is for using Windows 95 over 98SE? I gathered everything on WIndows 3.0 - 98SE just worked best on Win 98SE. But now I'm curious, but also too lazy to set up BOTH and compare for the games I play. Thank you to anyone for any feedback
In theory windows 98 would be more good for games but also you started to lose control in terms of commands and dos even if there. Of course thats my point of view. If you have a problem you would go to autoexec or config and starting to change the settings there. Also in general terms is how the people like the Os of preference. I grew up with 3.11 but i prefer 95 slightly more.
@@MavG Thank you for your insights :)
@@velatoget I'm very sure there are more people with more experience who can share. Cheers !!!
Hi, followed your tutorial. It worked great until 10:58 when you have to load the Windows 98.iso. Nothing happens when I load it and windows doesn't seem to pick it up. Any ideas what I could be doing wrong?
Hi, Thanks for watching. Ok, it seems when you try to select the image doesn't happen anything. Let me rephrase the steps, surely is a step skipped:
Please take a look at this:
1. 04:19 Make sure this step is not skipped, because if this is not activated is like you don't have a physical unit cd-rom drive. You can open up pcem to check this out.
2. In the minute 06:37 i opened up the Cd-rom menu and selected Empty, even i had to restart the machine. This is the equivalent to have avaliable the cd-rom drive. If this was shown up, we are good so far.
3. The official Letter for the cd-rom drive must be D: , but, the start up disk makes the cd-rom drive letter is E:, is temporal until all is installed. Please take a look at this.
Try D:
or
Try E:
or
Try F:
So far if you didn't touched nothing more (meaning the Bios setup), you are good to go.
The second part if you can enter the cd-rom drive, let's say E: (like shown in the video), just do a Dir command like this:
E:\> DIR [hit enter]
It must shown all the files and directories avaliable in the cd-rom drive. (meaning windows 98)
My question: It is shown something?
Please let me know if you solved this. Just in case i checked out everything and this was the correct steps like shown in the video.
Cheers !!!
Hi. I followed the steps again. Turns out for me I had to use the A drive to get the setup command to work. Very strange. Hopefully this helps anyone else who was having this issue. Thank you.
Bro, mil 300 gracias por el tutorial, estoy viendo con mas procesadores y el uso de Voodoo graphic cards! pero tu ayuda fue increible! se que somos del mismo pais ya jaja
De nada. Estamos a la orden. Ah excelente, pa'lante entonces, no queda otra sino seguir luchando.!!! Saludos !!1.
THANK YOU SO MUCH
Thank you very much for this video. I installed Windows 98 SE and have a problem with the game Airlift Rescue. The game says that it needs at least 542K free low memory. I've read something about a MEMMAKER that is probably not included in Windows 98. Do you have a idea how i could fix that?
Restart the game in mode msdos or restart pcem and press f8 , select step by step, Load everything but when it asks for load 'win' press N . Try again this happen to me wit a couple of games.
I posted this question in the vogons forum here: www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=9&t=60848 I could fix it by editing the AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS files as you can read on the bottom of the forum topic. It seems like that some applications are running slow or with delayed keyboard and mouse response. My host system is a Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-6700K CPU @ 4.00 GHZ with 16 GB RAM. Would you recommend other settings for me as in your example video?
Well, if you are particular for a video graphics you can choose between normal graphics and or vodoo graphics. Some people like vodoo which is great. The rest is a matter of preference, example change another sound card if you like awe32. Or increase size of the hard drive. Good luck friend and thank you for your kind words.
Have you tried Plus!? It has all the latest themes and effects that you can personalise the design of the device. What do you think?
I tried plus with windows 95 back in the 90's. It was a n ice touch. And it looked cool
Mav-G Nice
I tried to install one of my old games but it won't work it sees the cd rom and goes through an installation process but as soon as it finishes it deletes all the files it just finished installing. Also when I tried a different game it said that the cd must be in the drive and wouldn't play that either. Seems the old safe disk copy protection doesn't like pcem. First game was The Operational Art of War Elite Edition 2nd was Wooden ships and Iron Men. My pc is an i7 but it seems too slow to run the top level processors that can be selected. Lag is too much when trying to play a video file.
What are some old good games that actually require this emulation that people have gotten to run?
I Figured out my previous problem the comment for I deleted earlier. I wasn't selecting the win98.iso inside the windows 98 folder correctly so it wasn't finding the driver files.
Sorry for the late answer and Glad to hear it. For all the games i've tested (like 15 more or less) all are working so far, always having in mind not all 100% will work with pcem, but so far i'm happy with it. Some i've tested: Mortal Kombat (1,2,3). Test Drive. IndyCar Racing. Diablo 1. Alien Trilogy. Heretic. Stargunner. Yoda Stories. Z. Cyberia Project Description. Cyberia 2.
When i see a game or application that runs kind of slow, i select FAST VLB/PCI, but never experienced any problem about lag or playing any video file. I hope this can help you.
Cheers !!! Good Luck !!!
great video thanks very much
You are welcome :-)
amazng guide, i had windows 98 installed, but there was no sound coming out, event hough windows says 'device is working properly' deleted the image and reconfigured/installed 98 again....... sound started to work afterward, thank god.
Thanks to you for your words. Glad it worked.
I have a lot of old game CD's, that is the reason I would like to install Windows 98, would they work?
Yes, not all of them of course but youll be playing a long time.
Edit. I have z in Cd and sorks great. Also i have cyberia and works very nice.
Nothing happens when I load the image file and hit enter. Still just says DISK BOOT FAILURE. I'm about to go crazy....for 4 days I've been trying to get PCem or Virtualbox to work. Both stinks. It's just way too complicated and a lot of errors all the time.... What kind of file is your image file? ISO or something else?
Hi. !
Make sure you like the minute 3:21 both disk are selected 3.5" 1.44m (you will use only one but just in case). Seoond, answering your question, the file is .IMG , and make sure you click on the DISC menu and select CHANGE DRIVE A., and press enter to let the system detect the disc. I've just teste just in case after all this time is working properly and yes, it is working as intended. Any doubts you can ask again, no worries, it is confusing but at the end is a small detail annoying your for sure.
@@MavG So the Windows 98 boot disc needs to be a .img file? I have an ISO-file. Is that not going to work? Doesn't seem to be working....
Every time I add a disk to A: after it asks for the boot disk it gives me
"The Windows 98 setup files were not found".
Sorry for the delay. Make sure you start withouit the boot disk, because if you start with it, and later do anything it will ask for it again.
Hi, sorry to bother you again. I was trying to make a new configuration, because the game I want to play request pentium 166 mmx. So, I'm just after placing the boot disk, when the screen turns black, and now nothing comes up, not even in the configuration that a alredy had, the one from the video. Can you help me?
This is first time for me. Make sure you already ejected the floppy selecting from the menu, if this not work restart pcem just in case. I've made changes from my settings regarding the machine but always runs good.
@@MavG Still the same :( , is there a way to reinstall the PCem? Even restarting my computer stays the same
@@Mnemosine86 No need to reinstall.
Just create a new instance (or machine), use the same configuration, and when you are creating a new hdd, use the same hdd as before, load the image and you are done. Try again, if this not work, i would recommend you repeat every step from zero. Something happened, it seems just after you used the floppy drive.
@@MavG with any new instance I make, is exactly the same. I goes directly to a black screen, no text or anything
Damn !! No beep or something??? Try change between opengl to another to see if anything happens.
I cannot get it to read the cd-rom drive, no matter what I do. Is there a way to solve this?
nvm i big dumb dumb
@@goat9629 lol
I went into e:, and it said that the directory was Windows. I can't get past that, though.
Please recheck all the steps, from the beginning.
1. Make sure in Pcem you have selected C: and the size of your choice.
2. Make sure the Cd-Rom drive is selected (D: or E: letter)
3. Make sure also, you execute FDISK, because the drive C: at this point is not prepared to be used, the system only know there is a hard drive but doesnt' kow what kind of drive it is.
4. Format the new hdd.
5. At this point you can enter C: and see your new hdd created.
At this point if all is correct please consider:
1. You mention E: , if you see at the beginning of the video, when i configure i select CD-ROM drive D:
2. Because i'm using a windows 98 start up disk, this make a temporary change and make the cd-rom drive as E:.
3. In another words, instead writing E: , write D: then enter to see if this the problem.
4. Make a DIR command, you must see all the files in the cd image.
Please let me know anything.
Have you manage to solve this?.
I just installing a new Windows 98 and encountered this exact problem.
You must unzip the Windows98SE file and inside is the image you needed with the key file, this was the problem you encountered. Sorry about that.
Tengo problemas al ejecutar setup, despues de haber seleccionado la imagen de windows 98. "bad comman or file name"
Asegurate que la unidad de cd rom este bien configurada en Pcem y estes cambiando a la unidad respectiva del cd. Te dice que un commando malo o archivo malo por que no encuentra el archivo en cuestion que es Setup. Suerte !!!!
Mav-G ya se por qué era el problema. Estaba instalando el win en español y ponía setup, en vez de instalar 🤣.
Lo instale, pero el audio y la gráfica de un juego (la amenaza fantasma), se me ve y escucha mal.
@@Mendethzo Con respescto al audio puedes probar cambiando la latencia en el menu de audio de Pcem, y con respecto al video instalastes los drivers de la misma?
I have one other question to the use of Windows 98 SE in PCem. I have a game (Panzer General) which i want to install. The installation is not starting, because it can't detect the XMS memory. If i write MEM into the DOS prompt i get the following informations about the XMS memory:
Total: 65.472K
Occupied: ?
Free: 129.824K
Is XMS disabled in this system and if yes how can i activate it? I have read about the file HIMEM.SYS which is probably related to XMS. But i couldn't find it in my C: drive. Is that file not integrated in Windows 98 SE? This is the content of they config.sys file:
device=C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\display.sys con=(ega,,1)
Country=049,850,C:\WINDOWS\COMMAND\country.sys
DEVICEHIGH=C:\DOS\OAKCDROM.SYS \D:MSCD001
Ok. This is first time for me. I'll try to help you.
1. I'm in Windows 98 fresh install, just did MEM and like you i have EXTENDED (EMS) 65, 472, USED ? and FREE 260,884K.
2. Yes, Himem.sys is in the system you can do
C:\> Dir himem*.*/S and hit enter, in my case it will show you is in the C:\windows directory.
3. Yes, Himem.sys is the charge when you want to use the extended memory.
4. As far i know Windows 98 doesnt need this line in config.sys.
5. Let me try to find Panzer Genera and give it a test to see how can i help you.
I know i'm not saying any solution, but if i encounter any problems i will back and report.
@@MavG Thank you very much! I appreciate that!
@ This is the game right?
www.oldpcgaming.net/panzer-general-review/
Ok, i have the complete game. I did an Install, and of course is checking everyting.
I'm good to go, because it says required XMS 2760K and i have free 8192K. I'm good to go. Is installed and configured to work with sound blaster and roland.
I had no problem installing, which i came to think how can you solve this.
1. Start your computer,
A. Press F8
B. Step by Step confirmation [hit enter]
C. Press N until you get the line CONFIG:SYS (Press Y when prompted config.sys)
C.1 Press Y for every line related to sound blaster and cd Rom.
C.2 Press Y when you read HIMEM.SYS, curious about this, it doesnt exist in my config.sys but it is asked when i do these steps.
D. Press Y when it ask for Autoexec.bat
D.1 Press Y every related to sound blaster, cd rom and mouse
D.2 PRess N when it ask to load windows.
Once you are in the prompt system, repeat the install.
I just ran the game when i did these steps.
If you can make it, try to do a Start up disk. This will avoid repeat the process every time you want to play the game.
@@MavG It seems like i can't switch to the drive if i use this method. I just get the message "invalid drive id" if i try to change the drive from c to d.
Say, why can't I find "Socket 7 Award 430VX PC" machine in PCem v15 ?
I think because the v15 version is using another Roms. Try copying the V13 rom folder to the V15 and try again.
@@MavG i did it - it's not on the list. i think PCem doesn't support it anymore
@@ttfd This may come in quite late, but I found the same BIOS under [Socket 7] Shuttle HOT-557. Hope this helps!
@@AzraelAlpha thanks mate!
I bought an IBM which came with a Windows 98SE disc (an upgrade from my Gateway intel 33Mhz which actually was something of an upgrade from my Cirix 66Mhz if you can figure that one out). My IBM CPU was 566Mhz with 512MB RAM and probably something like a 500MB HDD. Unfortunately this emulator doesn't seem to go past emulating around the 200Mhz era so perhaps 98se is a little too modern for the scope. Then again, if your not seeing any problems then maybe it's fine but I had some serious lag. No worries though, the other two vids you provided have me running with 3.11 and 95 perfectly, thank you.
I've been corrected on the minimum specs needed for 98SE. I don't know why I remember it this way but the only thing I can think of is that the shop I bought my IBM from just downgraded an XP machine to make the price better. I know it was the last one in the shop before they stopped selling desktops all together.
It may also be that I'm running this on an actual XP Pro (SP3) machine (Intel Core 2 Duo 2.66Ghz with 2GB Ram). That might be the bottle neck perhaps.
I see. In my opinion your cpu in more than enough to run windows 98. I remember i had an IBM 486dx2 50mhz with 4mb ram and i had installed Windows 95. Of course, a little slow but it ran fine with Microsoft Plus and several games. If my machine back in the day could run both (3.11 and 95), your specs definetively run 98. But as you mention, it seems Pcem doesnt emualate beyond 200Mhz. Just in case in the configuration you can select MMX 233, maybe this improve the emualtion a bit. Another point, in my side, i run 98 without problems (i5 4690k 3.5 Ghz). And last but not least, remember swithing between Direct3D, OpenGl, Openg Gl 3.0 and Software, the first time i ran this emulator i felt a little lag, but for some reason switching between theses renders solved the problem, even i select again between all of them again. Thanks for your opinion.
I'll try this thank you, just shutdown the PC so I'll take a look next time. Thanks again for everything Mav-G, I've had my eyes out for properly emulating all this old kit for years and DOSBox and VMWare are great at handling some things, I agree with you that PCem seems to provide the best experience all round.
I haven't tried yet the game I want, but, is there a way to play solitaire? I loved it on windows 98
Siolitaire is included since windows 3.11. So yes !!!!
@@MavG But, is it on this version, from the video, 'cause I can't find it :/
@@Mnemosine86Yes you are very right!! Please do this, because i just did it and it worked in my end.
1. Start
2. Settings
3. Panel Control.
4. Double Click Add / Remove Programs
5. Clicl Windows Setup Tab.
6. Select Accesories and click on Details.
7. Check Games box. (you will see the solitaire icon of course)
8. Ok, then apply. It will ask for the Windows 98 Disc (or Iso) (just load the same windows 98 iso i provided)
9. You are done, have fun :-).
Like you, i didnt have Solitaire in my W98. So after doing theses steps, you will good to go.
Cheers my friend.
@@MavG Thank you so much!!!! It worked!! :D
Is there any way to connect munt for mt-32 music with this?
I really don't know. I made a quick search and apparently is possible with dos box, but still i can be sure of this. Sorry for no able to be more helpful.
@@MavG Yeah, you change the config so it uses the emulator on dosbox. Haven't found any such config file for pcem so far.
@@andrewpliakis If the program / emulator , uses a installer, then the installar must modify the neccessary lines to make it work on the config.sys and/or autoexec.bat.
@@MavG No need for that, I figured it out. In the sound settings you can choose the midi out device and choose the mt-32 emulator. After that you install the game with mt-32 chosen as music and it should work. The display doesn't work though. Incompatibility with pcem itself or something.
@@andrewpliakis Just in case..... ruclips.net/video/BMmFcs-_4x4/видео.html .
11:35 is such a smooth beat. Anyone know more music like that. Also thanks for uploading this worked on my end, except the sound lags but everything else seems fine.
If you like the music, you can check out the series from Techno Club Vol. 1 to Techno Club Vol 54. Personally i have until Vol 51. "Talla" is the principal mixer here.
Thanks for your words. Glad it worked for you.
Good Luck !!
its not detecting the cd-rom drive what do I do
Please do a quick check in the steps, you have must missed one. All cd-rom work at the end of the tutorial :-) .
Mav-G I got it I didn’t select standard ide
@@mewtwonick1024 nice
What if the game is running slow, stuttering and running choppy?
Try to increase the video to fast in the video card options. Change it before you start your system.
@@MavG Thanks buddy i'm gonna give it a try.
Thanks for the video, I just don't get why nobody made a 1 click installer for a couple of those configurations...
Glad to be help. Thank you for your words.
When i put "fdisk" it says no fixed disks present
Make sure you have followed the first step when you create a new Hdd in the Pcem options. :-)
@@MavG Thanks! i didnt follow one of the steps, which i realized when i rewatched. Thank you for the video! :)
@@rickyt3472 Cheers !! . Good Luck !
So they all have to be ISO files is that correct?
Yes my friend.
@@MavG Is there a site for ISO files that you recommend?
@@JohnSmith-xx1lx You mean for games?. MY abandonware its one. :-)
@@MavG Thank you, so what do you do when it installs the game to the C: drive?
@@JohnSmith-xx1lx if you see the video you must use the commands to go to the directory game. If the game is mortal kombat for example i must type c:\> cd kombat hit enter and later c:\kombat>mk and enter. Of course every game install in different directorys (carpets).
this is better than VMware workstation (for me anyway)
I agree with you ! ! !
especially with version 14, everytime i try it, there's this error that shows up during the installation. whenever my vmware machine starts up there are like 3 errors, then i restart windows 98 in vmware the errors are fixed. hardware virtualization doesnt work too good with windows 98
I followed every step but my audio lag very much :(
I did not had this problem. But, if you already play with the sound configuration, please try the last version Pcem V14.
Official Website for the last version : pcem-emulator.co.uk/
same lag
Hi Please Take A look at this Pages :
1.- pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?t=720 , they talk about a litle bit, but in the first answer they send it to this link :
2.- pcem-emulator.co.uk/phpBB3/viewtopic.php?f=2&t=612&start=30&hilit=audio+lag . In the third answer it says : " You must only delete OpenAL32.dll, and fluttering is gone " .
You can give it a try. To see what happens, dont delete the file 100 %, just move it to another location. Good Luck
So, did that fix it?
Can you connect to the internet???
That i did not tested. :-s
Absolute amazing!!! Very good work! Fuck off Virtualbox and VM Machine and Virtual PC! PCem is the Best!!!
Richie Scheißhaus thank you for your kind Words.
i must ask something...i install the win98 like the guide says but no matter what i do the sound is just so jmpy and not smooth ....can anyone help me fix it?
Oh, Sorry to hear that. Only one person was in the same spot like you, [following this same guide], but he never told if he fixed the problem, but since the video was using the Pcem 1.3, after a couple of weeks came out the 1.4 version. It's the only thing i can recommend you for now. Download the last version from here Pcem-emulator.co.uk. Hope this can help you.
Mav-G im using the latest version of pcem and even installed the soundblaster 16 drivers but the sounds still jumpy and not smooth:(
Cant play games like that it feels laggy

set sound buffer to 50ms
Why it is running so slow?
Dont know why is running slow. Maybe you can try the last version of pcem? Is 1.4.
@@MavG That's the one I used cos I got it from the official website. Is my computer not powerful enough?
@@JuniorBlitzAlways i recommend the last version of everything in this case. But for some reason the 1.3 version works better in my end. Some games dont run in 1.4 version. My machine is mid end, meaning i have 3gb video and i5 4690k. You dont need a powerful pc to run emulators.maybe you can try the 1.3 version?.
@@MavG I also tried using the version that you used but still runs into the same problem. Btw, the CPU and graphics that I have is an AMD Athlon X4 860K with a GTX 960.
Junior Blitz To be honest, i'm out of ideas here.But your machine is ok, maybe is not well polished both Pcem 1.3 and 1.4 for amd processors. Let me search a little info, if i find anything usefull i will write back to you.
It isnt interesting when in virtual box,
I Agree with You
all games say mouse driver is not installed but i installed it .
Hmmm one way to know is working good the mouse is like i did on the video. Install it then exit windows into dos mode and write edit command. Once inside you can move the mouse freely. You will know if the mouse is working properly
@@MavG no matter what i do, "NO mouse Driver found"
i manualy edited autoexec.bat and now the mouse works :)
@@KingNothing22 Nice. :-D.
So, I suggest nobody tries a hard reset with the machine you'll make through this. It corrupted something and it never booted again so I had to delete everything and remake the machine.
Noted and thank you :-). Curious thing because sometimes i make a hard reset but so far nothing happened, but always a little more careful is not bad.
It's likely a mistake that I made, but it never hurts to let people know just in case. Say, how are you installing games into these machines? Copying them over via magiciso and the like?
Still is a valid advice :-).
In case you want to use a folder/directory/files, i use PowerIso (of course you can use any program, the idea is convert to an ISO file). Once converted i select Load Image via CD-ROM Menu , once selected i can open inside Windows 98 and treat it like any other cd rom /folder/files.
If i have a Cd-rom, i directly host it in the same CD-ROM menu.
Thank you kindly.
I'd also suggest a larger hard drive. Windows 98SE can support up to around 130ish GB. Suggesting that because, for example, the full install of QFGV is around 1gb, give or take.
Who has ever tried to do this in 2021?
About to try this tutorial, virtualbox failed for me and comments said to try pcem.
I still play sometimes on this. Is cool to have control.
@mohsen attaryani I'm very sure even a pentium could work great with pcem. Example: when i had windows xp i used the emulator from the windows itself to emulate older dos games and it worked great, and i had back in the day a Pentium IV with intel graphics. I have a I5 4690K which is now considered kind of old but it works great. Give it a try.
It's 2022 and I'm just trying this out on a Ryzen 5 5600g with Pentium MMX 166 using PCem v17. Wish me luck!
Missing operating system
Got it fixed
i was able to set up the Award Rom to boot from the CD first, which had a bootable windows 98 SE ISO that rendered the floppy drives totally obsolete. i was able to do that by entering the BIOS set up to boot from D, then C, then A.
honestly, that should have been the default way to do it, if you had a bootable windows CD....
EDIT: waste of time. PCEM runs way slower than VMware. abandoning it. theres plenty of 2D games anyway.
