PCem or VirtualBox - which is better? emulation or a virtual machine?

Год назад

For retro game compatibility you cannot beat PCem. There are tools like SoftGPU for VirtualBox, but PCem emulates the vintage hardware much more faithfully.

@ozzyp97 Год назад

You're going to have a bad time trying to run anything 3D accelerated with VirtualBox, and there might also be issues with sound and cpu speed. It's just not designed with retro gaming in mind.

@philscomputerlab Год назад

Never used VirtualBox and haven't heard much talk about using it for retro games.

@blunderingfool Год назад

PCem is way better for older systems than VB is, VB is only really interested in somewhat recent systems.

@mesterak Год назад

I’ve have extensively tested both VMWare and VirtualBox for 98 and it’s terrible. PCEm or 86Box are the way to go for Win98 emulation.

Hi Phil! Thanks for the compact tutorial, it's great to see you cover PCem! Maybe all the recent coverage will help/motivate the current maintainer(s) to get v18 out the door (and hopefully they will decide to change data storage back to the more intuitive/classic way it is handled in v17 prior to release, so that your tutorial remains more accurate). Greetings from Austria!

@ChrisSteingen Год назад

Wow that brings back so many memories :) Especially sitting at the Win98 Setup screen and waiting for that timer to go down to zero after another fresh install ... Thanks a lot dude! What I found strange with the installation here is, that a reboot seems to take quite a significant amount of time in a black screen state before the post screen shows up again. Actually a few minutes at times. Sometimes a hard-reset helps, sometimes even that not. Also upon a fresh start of the machine, sometimes it hangs for 2 minutes in a black screen at times. And one small remark: At 11:06 you change the sample rate conversion setting of your microphone ;)

@TheOneRobUK Год назад

Started playing around with PCem the other month, making various setups was fun and I pretty much duplicated this one. Couldn't get Quake II running that great but was pretty good for everything else I threw at from before 1999. Looking forward to what the team produce in the future. It ended up a stepping stone to me getting a retro machine but I ended up concentrating on XP era as PCEM was working out so well and my space is limited.

@kennethober6626 10 месяцев назад

Quake 2 isn’t going to run well on anything lower than a Pentium 133 or lower at lowest resolution. My i7 can Quake 2 on a Pentium 2 350 or K62 300 AFR with 3Dnow! at 1024x768 but oddly stutters at lower resolutions on the system. My sweet spot are 133 / 166 mhz for 320x240 resolution on Pentium 90 era games.

@JaredWoodruff Год назад

Great video Phil, i'd love to see more videos on PCem about building DOS configs too; as fun as searching the internet for weeks to hunt down a single driver for my retro pc's it would be nice to have dos & 98se rigs ready to go on my pc at a moments notice :)

@F1nalspace Год назад

Really good guide! As a matter of fact, its the best one out there on youtube, so thumbs up ;-) One note, if you use a AMD K6 II+ CPU instead of Pentium 2, the performance on games are much better. For example, 3D Mark 99 has a total score of 4311 (11430 CPU). But it requires a very fast CPU to run this! On my 7950X (forced to 85W limit to prevent 90° heat) a AMD K6-II+ with 450 MHz works just fine with almost 100% speeds - when a game/application is already loaded. But loading something slows down that machine enormously and PCem drops to 60-90% of speed until the load is finished, but when its loaded it runs at 100% while in-game (tested with unreal gold)

This is an awesome resource and guide Phil! Here's some nitpicks To transfer files into PCem, if anyone is using older versions of Windows, e.g. Windows 7, then I'd recommend to pack everything (drivers, games) and create an ISO image and burn it to PCem. MagicISO works great, and the key is public already, so it'll be great ease. :) and if anyone is using Linux, there's mkisofs (also known as genisoimage) which will do the job! To get a higher clock speed, you can actually get this on a decade old CPU too! If it's an Intel CPU, make sure to enable hyperthreading, and you're ready to go. Intel CPU single core performance is still capable to emulate them. PCem heavily uses SSE varient instructions. Sometimes however PCem may slow down, but it's because of the emulation process, it's not exactly as raw hardware, but shouldn't have any major issues.

Thanks for the tutorial and files. Very cool stuff. The biggest issue I've had with PCem is the sound emulation performance. I set up a Windows XP VM with a K6-III 450 and a Voodoo 3 (for nostalgia reasons). On a Zen 3, Ryzen 5450u laptop, with no sound emulated the virtual machine was using about 10% of the processor. When I enabled sound blaster emulation and started using it, the processor load shot up to 100% and was barely keeping up. It seems like there is something the developers could do to improve the performance of the sound emulation. Of course it's possible that the sound emulation is very accurate and that's why it's such high load, but I'd be fine with something functional and great sounding rather than bit accurate for sound specifically, if it would greatly decrease the processor load. Also, it's completely possible I missed something when setting up the machine, so any guru level tips are welcome.

Your CPU is too weak for a K6-3 450MHz. To be frankly, maybe next-gen Intel and AMD CPUs should be able to emulate this CPU.

I prefer 86Box over PCem, myself. One great thing that 86Box has that PCem doesn't is the ability to mount folders as if they were ISO images; any folder you mount will show up as a CD-ROM in the emulated machine. The one disadvantage is that it doesn't (currently) have its own configuration manager, though they're working on it; in the meantime, you'd need to either install a separate one or use the command line if you want to manage multiple machines.

I didn't know that, this is very handy. You can also mount the virtual hard disks on the host Windows machine as ejectable, portable hard disks. This way you can copy to/from your virtual machines directly. Though i'm not sure if this can't be done with PCem disks too.

@@Imgema this is the way I do it, however this requires the shut down of the virtual machine unfortunately. So a direct folder share sounds interesting, though missing from PCem. I solve this by creating virtual ISO files. It's also possible to create network sharing by firing up a tiny FTP server on the host for example and connecting to it from eg. Total Commander.

i prefer the performance from PCem in general, if i need copy some programs or data, just use daemon tools and mount the hard drive from the emulated machine for transfer the data in it :)

Thanks for the awesome guide phil! 💪 In case anyone's interested I've got several preconfigured '98 machines ready to go over on my side for everyone, filled with dozens of gigs of content* from the era. The latest one (maxstalgia) has a bunch of hardware presets and shares the windows disk between PCEM and dosbox. *Game demos, Demoscene demos, older Windows versions (1.x to '95), Ultrasound support, DOS support including image mounting, and Abandonware.

@@philscomputerlab I leave my system here, just as a backup. I just wonder, if I can, somehow connect my old Roland SC-D70 to the virtual machine. It's connected with USB. I think, you gave me a bit things to test this evening 🙂 The question in this virtual machine is: How high can you get the specs and can it run Crysis?

It would have to pass through USB, I'm not sure it support this...

@@octopusgaming4027 MIDI passthrough is an option, as you can connect eg. Munt to PCem to have more faithful MT-32 emulation.

I set this up a while back on an intel i9 10850k box. I was playing around with the higher processor speeds and I realized your box definitely needs a heck of a setup to get max Pentium II speeds without it slowing down. I recently upgraded to the new i9 14900k and I am hoping it will be enough to emulate the speeds I am looking for. I have several old systems I can play with, but the parts are starting to fail. It is more of a hassle to keep them running than it would be to emulate a near perfect old system setup. Thanks for the easy guide.

PCem development has slowed significantly since the original programmer left. I recommend 86box instead. It's a fork of PCem that is still in active development.

@@mrcrue13 yeah, it may be, my Ryzen 9 definitely likes PCem a lot more than 86Box. I personally think PCBox(although it’s pretty much 86Box developer mode), kinda meets in the middle. Still has the newer stuff but has a slightly faster recompiler.

Thanks for the video! I saw somewhere and cant find it: to setup a emulator, with a single game which will boot automatically after starting the VM, It is adding a few houndread megs for each game, but its not an issue for the modern storage and each game will act lika a console ROM, So you would setup one clean windows install, than for each game, copy it, install game and create autorun script for the game
