Overview
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 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.
