Carmageddon 3Dfx/Glide is 60FPS on QEMU and OpenGlide, includes upscaling and works on any PC or laptop from the past 5 years with Windows 10 or Linux without requiring a real Voodoo1/2.

Win98 does not officially support USB2.0, but Sidewinder FF2 only requires USB1.1 Full-Speed which is fully supported in Win98. I don't use VMware so I am not familiar with its USB stacks in guest environment. For QEMU, the simplest way is to pass-through the host USB device itself (not the …

Seems to work fine on QEMU Win98SE VM in Direct3D hardware acceleration, including intro videos. I am not a fan of realistic Flight Sims and I don't play or own this game. It is a borrowed CD sets out of curiosity. Typically the game would be played with special flight oriented stick, throttle and …

I figured it out finally. It is possible for Netmech/MercsNet to play over Internet with IPXNET from mech2.org. Link to details.

WIPXEMU dll wrapper available in 1st post. First, a word of warning: the DOSBox IPX protocol is completely insecure. There's no encryption or authentication supported. I will not be held responsible if your private network happened to leak to the outside world. Use at your own risk.

I am really a noob in network programming, sockets and routing stuffs. I think I picked the right platform to focus. QEMU network backends are really solid, there is nothing hacky to deal with host-side networking and I just focused on guest side implementation. It took me a while to really …

Titanium MW2 Netmech works, too. It is very likely that all ANET/WIPX2 clients will work. Here's the list of official ANET clients: http://kegel.com/anet/master/types.txt

Heavy Gear 2 works, too! ;) The game does not ship with ANET IPX support, but dropping in the same WIPX2.DLL from Heavy Gear 1.2 the IPX option will show up for multiplayer. It was connected to IPXNET from mech2.org from two QEMU sessions with user-mode network backend, on the same host machine. …

I whipped up a version of IPXEMU that enables QEMU to connect to DOSBox IPXNET. It enables playing legacy Windows IPX multiplayer games over Internet. At the moment, I had only tested the following games, but I expected games already supported by IPXEMU should work out-of-the-box. It is technically …

Very cool ;) I am a VIM user and use VIM on QEMU DOS VM, too. Used to be a VIM hater in my younger life, but slowly grew to love it eventually for being a text warrior in the world of WYSIWYG glamour. I do not find it easy to upstream the fix as it touches the low-level libc core of the toolchain …

QEMU TCG works on Ryzen for Win98 VM if the games do not require fast CPU processing. If the games work on WinME, then WinME VM will work nicely with Ryzen for QEMU KVM/WHPX, which gives a significant boost to an unimaginable CPU performance by the games from couple of decades ago. Otherwise, Intel …

For Athlon XP and high-speed DDR memory, perhaps Glide 2.11 -> Glide 2.4x translation could provide just enough frame rate on Voodoo5 for Mech2 3Dfx. The game now works best and *PERFECTLY* on QEMU with modern virtualization. The jumpjet recharge issue was fixed by using FPS limiter. One gets to …
