I wrote a program called PCbi. It's a retro pc simulator + a 3d front end for PCem. A video explains it graphically: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4Xh8L9PbXeMs. You assemble a pc from parts in full 3d and can then run and use it as if it were real. PCbi interfaces with PCem to provide the pc emulation, routing pcem's display into the 3d scene in realtime.

Binaries are available from https://github.com/leikareipa/pcbi-content/releases/.

Note that the component textures have been sourced from photos taken by a variety of people, you should read the relevant bundled text file to find out more about who did what.

PCbi is not endorsed by any of the companies whose products appear in it, nor has their appearance in PCbi been licensed.

I know, I may sound stupid, but how do I install the .patch file?

It's only needed if you want to build a PCbi-compatible version of PCem yourself.

In Linux, you can apply the patch with something like "$ patch -p1 < pcem_v16_for_pcbi.patch" if you're in e.g. ../pcem/16/ and the source code is in ../pcem/16/src/. Don't know about other OSs.

PCbi 0.17.0 for PCem 17 is out (for Linux). Binaries can be found on the website (see first post).

Fixed shared folders ISO not updating in PCem, tweaked UI stuff here and there, and added a bunch of components (some Voodoos and some sound cards, maybe something else too). Didn't add the new Slot CPU/mobo stuff yet, nor the Pentium Pro.

Report bugs etc.

PCbi 0.17.1 fixes a crash when double-clicking the environment backdrop while PCem is running, fixes a wrong internal id code for the AMD K6-2 300, adds the ability to enable Voodoo 1/2 SLI mode by installing two cards, and removes the confirmation notice when sharing folders.
