Overview
To run any program, an operating system needs to be installed in PCem first. It has a dynamic recompiler in the works that give accurate Pentium support. It can also emulate numerous 2D and 3D cards, even the S3 ViRGE, which no other emulator supports.
Voodoo support used to be extremely slow, relying on frame skipping to stay full speed. However, in recent builds, this has changed with the introduction of a dynamic recompiler for the Voodoo. It is supposedly at least twice as fast as before, though some apps see up to a 4x increase in speed.
