===Comparisons===
 
;Neko Project II:The best PC-98 emulator out there but went inactive since March 2016. Its major drawback is the non-remappable controls.
 
:;Neko Project 21/W:Based on Neko Project II but with a focus on PC-9821 series with enhanced options (CPUs, memory sizes, sound sources) as well as support for LAN board, PCI bus, CD-DA, windows accelerators, fmgen and so on.
 
:;Neko Project II kai:A more libretro-focused fork, which has also merged several improvements from 21/W.
 
;Anex86:Another decent PC-98 emulator, which emulates [https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/EPSON_PC%E3%82%B7%E3%83%AA%E3%83%BC%E3%82%BA EPSON PC-286/386/486] series which is a series of PC-98 clone computers made by EPSON Corporation rather than PC-98 series made by NEC. older and less powerful. It allows key rebinding. Some programs may have trouble running on this emulator due to so-called "EPSON protection" that prevents them from running on EPSON clones.
 
;[[DOSBox#DOSBox-X|DOSBox-X]]:A very active fork of DOSBox that, among other things, adds support for the PC-98 as a target system. While it's very easy to set up, its PC-98 system is not yet complete.
 
;[[MAME]]:It has drivers for various revisions but as of version 0.189, all of them are reported as <font color="darkred">Not Working</font>. Support for the first batch or so of PC-98 games have started to be added to MAME in [https://www.mamedev.org/?p=460 0.201] (Aug 2018).
 
;QEMU/9821:A fork of [[QEMU]] that supports PC-9800 architecture. No longer maintained. Able to boot MS-DOS, Windows 98 and Windows 2000, but software compatibility is hit or miss.
 
  
==Usage==
+
†Only compatible with NEC PC-9800 series computers running MS-DOS, which are not IBM PC/AT compatible.

The PC-9800 series of personal computers had floppy disk drives (FDD) and hard drives (HDD) which contained the actual games and software to be loaded. Besides the emulator, you'll need a set of floppy disk images (FDI, FDM, NFD, D88...) or a hard disk image (HDI, HDM, NHD...).

You'll need a font if you want text characters to display properly in most cases. It can be downloaded [[Emulator Files#NEC PC-9800|here]]. Put it in the same directory as the emulator executable, and select it (''Emulate/Font'' for Neko Project II, or ''Config/Font'' for Anex86).
+
====[[wikipedia:PC-8800_series#Model_list|PC-8801 FE]]====
 +
The PC-8801 FE was released in 1988 and had a NEC µPD70008 at 8 MHz with 64KB of RAM and 48KB of VRAM. It only had Mono sound.
  
You'll need to configure the emulator as well. In NP2's case, you want to go with the recommended configuration here:

====[[wikipedia:PC-8800_series#Model_list|PC-8801 MA2]]====
 +
The PC-8801 MA2 was released in 1988 and had a NEC µPD70008 at 8 MHz with 192 KB of RAM and 48 KB of VRAM.
  
* Emulate/Configure/CPU: Number of cores to something like 32.
+
====[[wikipedia:PC-8800_series#Model_list|PC-8801 FE2]]====
* Emulate/Configure/Sound: Rate to 44k or 88k for better sound quality.
+
The PC-8801 FE2 was released in 1989 and had 64KB of RAM and 48KB of VRAM. Only Mono sound was on this model.
* Device/Memory: 13.6MB
 
* Screen/Screen Option: Check "Use skipline revisions", and change Ratio to 255. This gets rid of the existing scan line implementation, in case you want a better one with shaders from external programs. Keep in mind PC-98 games, more than any other system, are often graphically designed with scanlines in mind.
 
  
To play the games:
+
====[[wikipedia:PC-8800_series#Model_list|PC-8801 MC model 1]]====
* If using a floppy disk based game: Plug the first disk (FDI) into '''FDD1''', and the second disk (FDI) into '''FDD2'''.
+
The PC-8801 MC model 1 was released in 1989 and had 192KB of RAM and 48KB of VRAM.
* If using a hard drive based game: Plug the hard drive (HDI) into '''Harddisk/IDE #0''' (if using Anex86, use the HDD1 and HDD2 fields and check the box '''HDD>FDD''').
 
  
Then restart the machine (not emulator), and most games automatically launch from there.
+
====[[wikipedia:PC-8800_series#Model_list|PC-8801 MC model 2]]====
 +
The PC-8801 MC model 2 was released in 1989 and had a CD-ROM drive.
  
Neko Project II's controls are not remappable. They're 2, 4, 6, and 8 on the numpad, arrow keys, enter, space, ctrl, z, and x. For games using the mouse, hit F12 to enable or disable mouse input. Use programs like Joy2Key to rebind other keys.
