    86Box imo. People will say pcem because it comes with a gui and they'll claim it's faster (it's not anymore). 86Box has more options and you can get a gui for it called WinBox. Or just use batch files.

      This is the feeling I was getting. That 86box is less popular but better now.

      Just get the GOG version of SWAT 4 instead of bothering with emulation.

      This. There's pretty much no reason not to, it just werks.

      No, I want to play it in 86box as the post says.

      Actually the main dev of 86Box admits that pcem is faster at this point.

      Yes, PCem is still a bit faster, but unless I need to use the fastest P2 possible, I still prefer 86Box because of how much more stuff it can do. Way more settings and hardware than PCem

    Why exactly?

      Yeah given the bare minimum system requirements for swat 4, even If it somehow does run in 86/pcem, it's probably not going to run well at all.

      It's almost silly these days that WINE isn't on Windows since it almost needs it more these days than Linux does

    So no one knows? I figured as much, given the state of this board.

      None of the gpus in 86box or pcem even have hardware T&L. Not even the voodoo 3 so you aren't playing swat 4 on them or basically any ue2 engine game moron.

        Ok I thought Swat&Rainbow 6 games were old enough that voodoo and 86box could run it. Nevermind janny can delete the thread
