A host CPU of around half the speed will likely be able to keep up with games made for a Pentium 1 90Mhz. This gets me a good frame rate in games like Quake 2, Need for Speed III and even pretty playable frame rates in Quake 3. I’m using an i7 3820 running at 4.2Ghz and I’m able to get performance similar to a Pentium 1 200Mhz. As a result, a slower clocked octo core CPU will be no help to you here. Emulation of a single thread CPU is impossible to run on multiple threads. At least if you want to run the more demanding 3DFX titles. The files needed should be easily searchable by the names I give. If you need to see any of the images in more detail, right click on them and click view image. You should also be able to run older Windows software and even many DOS games well as a bonus. This tutorial will focus on setting up PCem to run Windows games from this era. These latest improvements make PCem an attractive option to play around with. Games from the late 90s era of Windows computing are notoriously difficult to get working on a modern install of Windows. Heading up the list of improvements are speed optimizations and Vodoo 2 support. The latest version at the time of writing is PCem V12. From XT 8088 based machines up to Late Pentium I MMX era machines, making it a viable alternative to DOSbox and virtualization. PCem is an impressively versatile emulator, capable of emulating a wide range of IBM compatible PCs.
