It's a fork, going back some years (2017 or so). It's instructive to look at the activity level of pcem (their forum, and their github account: https://github.com/sarah-walker-pcem/pcem/commits/dev/ https://github.com/sarah-walker-pcem/pcem/commits/dev/) versus 86box ( https://github.com/86Box/86Box/commits/master/ https://github.com/86Box/86Box/commits/master/ ) 86box has a vibrant community around it (pop in the discord some time!) which PCEM really doesn't as far as I'm able to tell. Yes, there is a lot of bad blood -but I would suggest taking any stories that you hear (but did not witness yourself) with a huge grain of salt.
