Hello,
I am experiencing some issues emulating a Windows 98 SE pc with PCem.
The emulated machine has a [Slot 1] Gigabyte GA-686BX motherboard, a Pentium 2 300, 256 MB of RAM, a Voodoo 3 3000 (Fast VLB/PCI), and a Sound Blaster PCI 128. I followed this (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Rx2H3IV9SG4) very comprehensive guide by Phil's Computer Lab very closely (including using all of his download links) up until the "Install 3DMark" chapter of the video.
My host pc has a Ryzen 5 7600x3D cpu with an RTX 2060 Super.
I tried playing Duke Nukem 3D from the original version 1.3d cd and once I begin playing the game (after the menus) the audio becomes fraught with constant staticky buzzing and popping sounds. According to my research, this can be attributed to host pc that is too slow to efficiently emulate a Pentium 2. However, I believe my pc's cpu should be fast enough, and while in-game the "100%" on the top of the PCem window doesn't change. Also, the game runs mostly consistently but with a low fps.
I also tried Unreal Gold and despite having set up the 3dfx drivers, the game ran horribly.
Let me know if yall have any ideas or advice on how to fix this problem. I'm new to PC emulation beyond Dosbox, so I still have a lot to learn.
Thanks!
I am as smooth as a gravy train with flaming biscuit wheels.
