    Can't help you with your question OP but thanks for reminding me about the remaster coming out soon I totally forgot. I've got fond memories playing that at my aunt's house back in the late 90s over the summer during the rainy season so much that when it rains in the morning any time of the year it makes me wanna play Terminal Velocity.

    PCem's latency is kind of gnarly and the emulator is overall overkill for DOS. PCem is better for Win98 up to ~400mhz+Voodoo3. Use DOSbox Pure, it'll run better and it'll be a lot easier to set up.

        Cool, I have PCem too. It's still not advice I'd give for people starting from scratch to run this game. Not sure why you asked if you already had it set up.

      How do you get PCem to run with 400MHz and Voodoo 3? When I play GLQuake speed goes down to 60-70%

        It depends. What's your host CPU? Some stuff also just hits PCem weird hard, and it's sort of trashily optimized. Last I checked 86box is even slower, so beware of that.

          It's just a test of its capability, and I know Quake.

            Yeah that seems adequate. Like the other guy said not much point in it outside of purely academic reasons. I guess I'll have to try it myself.

    and, it doesn't erase how laggy PCem is.

      i have never had a problem with PCem lag other than the lag introduced from simulating old hardware

      i just wanted to make sure there was nothing special i needed to run it but it ran easily i am surprised

        I am glad you are satisfied. However, the juice is not worth the squeeze if you're just wanting to run DOS games with PCem. The setup is way overwrought and its app quality kind of sucks, honestly. It works, though, yes.

          the only real issue i have had with it really was it crashing sometimes but thats insanely rare right now im waiting without much hope for version 18 with pentium 3 support then it will really get good
          and yes i use it for more than dos games

            that'll be rough stuff unless they optimize the shit out of it as is.

                Honestly? Kinda doubt it. 400-500mhz already taxes top end CPUs depending on task.

                You can already put this theory to the test somewhat by picking one of the higher end CPUs already supported. If you can start Win98 up without system sound stutter (app/folder launching and OS IO seems to really tax PCem the most, rather than games) at 500-700mhz via Celeron, K6, or Cyrix I'd be shocked.
