Do you have to do much set up or is it a matter of selecting the options needed e.g. ram? Video card, soundcard etc? Something like WinUAE with auto configuration would be ideal lol.
Unless it had premade commercial set ups e.g. Packard Bell machine that I had! |

One thing I did not mention before, both pcem and DOSBox, as well ScummVM sound much better for many games if you install Rolland MT-32 emulator and set it up. It is fairly easy and sounds 'much' better for example in Alien Breed, The Settlers, FlashBack, most of adventure games, Lucas Arts games etc.
Simple steps, download MUNT, install, locate MT-32 rom files (or extract them from real thing), point munt to rom files, change settings in emulator to use MIDI port 1, configure game music to use Roland MT-32, start game and be blown away how better game sound. [ Show youtube player ] |

Not connected with rest of topic, but when you start with I have an i5 Win10, should stop there. If Amiga and Mac are able to complete all your computer needs, you would not need a Win10 computer.
Not sure if everyone knows, CD ROM version of flashback has pre-rendered video sequences, while game is still the same. It looks and sounds much better if you use already mentioned Roland MT-32. [ Show youtube player ] [ Show youtube player ] |

Looks interest so I'll have to check it out as it would be good for testing old games and software before going to the hassle of transferring stuff over to the real machines. I prefer to play retro DOS and windows games on my old laptops. I also have a windows 98 PC but it doesn't get much use to be honest.

I still have multiple laptops and computers, 2 of them are Win98SE, but since pcem they are just on shelf, not being used. Less clutter on my desk.

Those videos look great. A bit shady that the youtube descriptions contain links to full operating system downloads, but I'm not complaining

No, I've had no such problems in the games I've played so far (Sega Rally 2 & Star Wars - Rogue Squadron).

I used a 486DX33 config (16mb ram, 512mb harddrive) for my Dos machine, have had no problems with it so far. The only thing is that the bios used is aged enough that I had to actually go into the bios configuration to have the primary HDD detected, a blast from the past
For my Windows 98 box I used the exact Pentium 166 setup that the video proposes, also works great. |
