- hulitu 4y agoI extensively tested PCem. A lot of the systems do not work. Though i found a Socket 7 Asus Pentium MMX that was able to boot a particular Slackware (10 i think)
- ok123456 4y agoDid you locate the full rom set?
- hulitu 4y agoI took the ROM set which was referenced, if i remember correctly, on the github page. There were a lot of XT, AT and other machines. My goal was to run an old Slackware on a 486 era machine but all of them hang at boot. The only luck was with the pentium and slackware 10. I would have preffered 7.
- Narishma 4y agoI've had no trouble installing various Linux and BSD distros on various 386 and 486 machines in PCem over the years.
- chungy 4y agoPCem was abandoned and 86box is an actively maintained fork that's almost entirely better. Includes an actual UI, too!
- selfhoster11 4y agoPCem recently resumed development.
- Narishma 4y agoPCem has a UI, not sure what you're talking about here. It even manages different configurations in its UI, whereas you have to install external apps for that with 86box. It's also much faster than 86box in my experience.
- chungy 4y agoRight click to do anything with the emulator isn't much of a UI :)
- Narishma 4y agoI don't know what you're talking about. Right click doesn't do anything in PCem. The UI I'm talking about is the configuration manager where you create and configure virtual machines. When you start a machine there's not much UI except for menu bar at the top.
