Hello I recently wanted to try to play Microsoft Adventure, the IBM PC version and I found a copy of it online it said the disk was unprotected and ready to copy and play. I loaded it up in an Emulator (PCem emulating a Pentium 1) and it worked fine, but I want to play it on real hardware so I wrote …

What mobo is it? Got a pic? Ultimate retro link? I tried looking up the mobo in your signature I couldn’t find the exact one but I assume it’s similar to one I found where it is a non standard form factor with a riser all the way at the back on one side. Looks like it has onboard sound and video? …

Managed to get the game running just by disabling L1 cache it runs manageably now, but I got interested in early 80s games too, is there any way to run Castle Wolfenstein on hardware, or is there a version of DOS-BOX that works on Windows 98 SE?

I've tried playing MechWarrior 1 (1989) and it runs too fast on my Pentium. the game came included with a program called atslow, but I couldn't figure out how to use it, starting this program and setting any slowdown rate always froze the whole computer. So, I've decided I will only play games that …

I remember in the early Pentium era this was on Intel's own branded motherboards up to the 430fx chipset. Intel Zappa, Endeavor, Morrison etc. Seemed pretty cool as the motherboard manual said it emulated a 23MHz AT pressing ctrl+alt+ minus key. It would only work in real mode though, didn't work …

Imho, playing with actual old hardware sounds like fun, but I remember my computer sometimes drove me crazy. A proper emulator may not provide the so called "full experience" but should also give you a lot less trouble. I do test most things on PCem before trying them on my old hardware, and yes …

the sound and FM works now, but CD audio does not, so I guess I need the little cable that goes from the CD to the sound card.
