Overview

PCem is a PC emulator that emulates hardware from the 80's and mid-90's. It however, does not emulate the operating systems as well. 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, but this is experimental and it's only for 32-bit users. It can also emulate numerous 2D and 3D cards, even the S3 ViRGE, which no other emulator supports.
