I think you're using dgVoodoo dll's with a newer version configuration file, so they cannot read it, ending up using the default config and that's why watermark is not gone. You can check where a given dll reads the config from, with the spec-release version, it's logged. Thank you so very much for …

I’ve been using the fantastic dgVoodoo successfully with the watermarks removed for years, via unchecking the watermark box. Upon trying to remove it to work with Black Mirror, however, it will not be removed. I’ve tried running CPL as administrator, making sure I have different locations it is in ( …

Is there any way to be able to make/use an fx shader from ReShade as a GLSL file? Thanks in advance!

Yep there's a lot of post-2001 3D going on here Another thing to note about PCem and the Voodoo/Voodoo2 is that it's strictly a secondary video device, and those were generally dropped for support after 2000 especially due to how NT5 (2000/XP) handles them in DirectX, and how OpenGL is implemented …

I’m trying to run ER the game by Legacy Interactive in 2005.. from what I’m finding it is 3D... I think? So PCem won’t work for this? Too new. That requires something of a Geforce2/4 at minimum. For PCem's best, you should be thinking more of the timeframe before 2001. I think I’m reading that’s 3D …

The main factor in the resolution support is the emulated amount of VRAM - The Voodoo configurator dialog defaults framebuffer and texture memory to 2mb, so bump both to 4mb, switch it to Voodoo2 and tick SLI (which emulates two Voodoo2 cards that interleave their memory together to form …

Windows XP will "work" but it won't allow higher resolutions than what's already emulated. Also you'd have to be running a powerful enough CPU if you expect to emulate a Voodoo2 SLI (which allows 1024x768 and is currently the highest res 3d you can do in it). Also Windows XP doesn't support hte …

You're not going to be playing any games at 1600x1200 in pcem unless you just want to be difficult to prove a point (2D games). Stick with 16bit for the desktop and 24bit or 32bit at lower resolutions for the games that need it (not many). It's hardware and driver. VirtualBox and Vmware provide …

Just try pcem with any video card that's supported and install the video card drivers for it and see what resolutions you have. The generic drivers are usually used if there is no video card driver for the video card as is the case with vmware,virtualbox or a real pc. The generic drivers use VESA …

PCem v13's OpenGL 3.0 backend supporting shaders means you don't have to use Reshade. Also you should use v14 instead, v13 is no longer current. Assuming your hard drive paths are already absolute in your config files you shouldn't have a problem copying the cfg file into the configs folder. Yes …

What about using your emulated VGA drivers? In Virtualbox, you need a "generic" VGA driver for Virtualbox because their emulated video card has no drivers for Windows 98. In PCem you can choose a video card that has drivers for Windows 98 (i.e.: any S3 based video card) and installe that video card …

That probably depends on the version you're using now, but you should be able to find the info either in PCem itself (in v11 for instance it's under 'Disc' > 'Configure hard discs') or in pcem.cfg somewhere in the options that start with "hdc_". I believe it’s v12. So once I locate the file …

All you really need to do is to define a system in the newer PCem, and give it the same settings as your current one. There aren't that many configuration settings to copy (taking screenshots of them helps). Watch for the name of the HDD image file - you can just plug the same hard drive image into …
