PCem-X is an LLE PC emulator. It focuses on PC hardware from the 80's and 90'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.

Overview

PCem-X is a fork of PCem that emulates hardware from the 80's and mid-90'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.

Operating System Support

{Note: List is incomplete}

List of OS that can be installed on it:

  • DOS
  • Windows 3/3.11
  • Windows 95
  • Windows 98
  • Windows NT 3.1/3.51/4
  • Windows 2000
  • Windows XP
  • Windows Server 2003
  • Some older flavors of Linux. (There's a bug that was introduced between 2.6.18 and 2.6.26 that crashes PCem-X.)
  • BeOS

Video Card Support

  • MDA
  • Hercules
  • CGA
  • EGA
  • VGA
  • A couple of Trident cards

  • ATI Mach 64
  • S3 Trio64
  • S3 ViRGE (The only working 2D and 3D card on this list.)
  • 3dfx Voodoo (need another card that does VGA for this, just like the real deal.)
  • nVidia RIVA 128 (only does VESA, not ready for general use.)

There's also a branch that has preliminary nVidia RIVA TNT emulation as well, if you feel like emulating a video card with 16 MB of VRAM.

  • Adlib Gold
  • Sound Blaster 1.0 through AWE32
