@solemgar: according to this page https://www.cpubenchmark.net/singleThread.html and a research conducted by one moderator from 86box discord server (Efflixi): You're kinda spot on when emulating a PII 350MHz in 86box (unlike PCem where u did a PII 450MHz), because your cpu single thread score is …

IIRC the 32 bit builds run better on Windows, yes. I just don't remember why. I just needed to know which host cpu you had - since the entire emulation runs in a single core of that cpu. Refer to the geekbench's single core score of your CPU: https://browser.geekbench.com/processors/intel-core-i7- …

- eddman: Actually, I wonder if the chain-4 changes to (S)VGA are the true reason for the current code of PCem being slower, in addition to the fact release builds are compiled with PGO (profile-guided optimization) likely tailored for common usage cases. One should actually compare PCem v17 vs. …

I would rather keep the discussion on the topic at hand , it was not my intention to bring up any controversy (although being new , appreciate the history lesson). I think I'll give another spin to 86box, although so far pcem produced the best results for me. For shader support, do I understand …

The slowdown dips in w98 when opening a folder are normal? I think I read somewhere that it was the case. I don't know if it's normal or something that can be fixed in the code, but it happens for everyone, so for now it's just how it behaves. Thanks! then i think all is running properly now. It is …

I can do a P2 300 in PCem in pretty much all* cases with my ryzen 5700x; can go even higher with some games (Tip: you can change the CPU on the fly while the machine is running). A 12700k has about 20-25% higher single-core performance, so it should have no issues. One or a combination of the …

Thanks a lot , specially Battler for such detailed answer :) There is so many options nowadays that is great to have some clarity now. So far I am very happy with PCEM (apologies for calling it PCEMu all the time :) ), but I was reading people being able to reliably emulate a P2 400 (My CPU is a …

Hello everyone, just new to the forum 😀, trying to catch up with the rules and the forum etiquette. Apologies in advance if something doesn't adhere to the rules I have been testing the following: - PCEmu , compiled from source - 86box - DosBox-X For W98 emulation (P223 MMX, Voodoo 3), of all them, …

Hello everyone! New to the forum and discovering all this amazing world of vintage PC emulation, I was quite surprised to see how much the scene moved forward, with even 3dfx emulation on PCEM, Dosbox-X, 86Box etc... Talking about dosbox-x, i am trying to run Unreal Gold but no dice. Opened this bug …

Sorry for the necro, hello everyone, just new to the forum :) I have been testing the following: - PCEmu , compiled from source - 86box - DosBox-X For W98 emulation (P223 MMX, Voodoo 3), of all them, best experience seems to be (at least for me) PCEmu from source. Is this consistent with everybody …
