PCx Emulator

Hello,

I'm looking for the dos emulator PCX, I've read in another thread there was a cracked 2.1 version in the zone (CRX-PX21.LHA).
Can someone upload it again ?
Is there a way to buy it ? If not someone can upload a regged one ?

Thank you!

Unfortunately, the PCX author:

- goes after everyone sharing the software
- doesn't sell the licenses any more

Why not PC Task ---
It is now Freeware.

I've tried PC-task, and in my opinion it work quite well, but I've never seen PCx in action.

PCx is available as a demo on Aminet, and there appears to be a crack for it on the FTP, if I'm not much mistaken?

But it's crap anyway. PC Task is a far better x86 emulator.

both pctask and pcx are crap but pcx is a bit better
yet pcx can run chess programs like fritz 1 and 2 and other strong chess programs which are far better than the Amiga ones

i try again with some games.
with F1GP by Microprose, PCx is faster than PC-Task, while with Indy4 both seems have the same performance.
Of course is better PC-Task because now is freeware and you can download it from Aminet.

You could get a legal copy.

Try to find the Amiga Format CoverCd No 50. It came with the issue 134.

As I recall PCx had at least a very primitive bad sounding mono Soundblaster emulation which might be considered better than the nothing for sound in PC-Task. PC-Task seemed faster to me though otherwise. SoftWindows or RealPC (I can't remember which one I settled on) in Shapeshifter seemed better than both.
