'''PCem-X''' is an LLE PC emulator. It focuses on PC hardware from the 1980's and 1990's. A variety of operating systems can be installed in the emulator, which can then be used to launch programs. Some parts are HLEd, however, such as the Game Blaster and Sound Blaster, and the keyboard.
 +
 
 +
PCem-X is now out of date, as OBattler is now focusing on contributing back to mainline PCem. He does still maintain an Experimental build, however, which has some additional features and bugfixes over mainline, albeit being a bit less tested.

==Overview==
 +
PCem-X is a fork of [[PCem]] that emulates hardware from the 1980's and mid-1990's. It does not emulate the operating systems as well however. To run any program, an operating system needs to be installed in PCem-X first.
