Qemu is what it is, there people like you which could make it better, but they are not able to see, where are problems and instead of fixing of them, they are stuck in some pointless discussion loops (PCem) and pseudo user education etc... Just release proper windows builds and starting commands, …

PCem regardless of all its flaws has much bigger impact, because is designed for so called average Joe (not really but its not overcomplicated).. Qemu 3dfx is so far designed only for average kjliew :) Because he is only one who is able to use it for OpenGL.. and there are let say 10 other users, …

Not really i have even my own guides, but dit not open them.. i guess that with right target it would work, but i gave it exactly 10 minutes …

If someone will succeed to build Qemu 5.2 3Dfx for windows with help of new instructions, pleas share it.. ideally with all resource Qemu file needed to run it, because if remember correctly its other step which is needed, andwhich is not described and its not as simple as it could seem.

I have still bug with same cards, on multiple systems, it seems to be SW error, i dunno how it is excatly working, but my guess that some cards news some extra care, used implementation is not working with them. Because its wrong only with some games.

Frankly, getting things to work with awkward ways is just not my cup of tea.. It really depends if there is other way, often isnt but in my case it is. Just distribute complete Qemu build at least for Windows with some basic disk image and qemu starting line, as RobertMo once did, its not too much …

UT2003 is playable at near 60FPS my Core m3-6Y30 within QEMU.. its nice, what API its using OpenGL, or you are finnaly able to run Direct3D? I know that this is fast, but some apple to apple numbers found be great, so if you can run same test as before for Quake 2 with some HW acceleration.. so show …

Well, you posted QEMU TCG numbers, nothing else.. and probably nobody now that your youtube channel exist, oldest video is 6 day old.

Below is an **unfair** 2D performance comparison between PCem and QEMU WHPX, one emulates the "advanced smart" Voodoo Banshee and the other the "just lame" VESA dumb buffer controller. perf2d.png Im not sure that i understand these numbers right.. Well, i expected that Qemu numbers + Your mode …
