PCem is a PC emulator 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 first.

It has a [[Dynamic_recompilation|dynamic recompiler]] in the works that gives accurate Pentium support. A fork called [[PCem-X]] has slow Pentium Pro and Pentium 2 support as well, though it isn't accurate. 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, and relied on ~~frameskipping~~ to even stay fullspeed. 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.
