This shipped in 1981 with a 4.77mhz 8088, 64k of RAM, and a cassette port. Disc drives quickly became standard, along with more memory. ROM files needed: ibmpc\pc102782.bin ibmpc\basicc11.f6 ibmpc\basicc11.f8 ibmpc\basicc11.fa ibmpc\basicc11.fc IBM 5160 XT (1983) From a hardware perspective, this is a minor tweak of the original PC. It originally shipped with 128k of RAM and a 10mb hard disc, both of which could be easily fitted to the 1981 machine. However, this was targetted as businesses and was more successful than the original. ROM files needed: ibmxt\5000027.u19 ibmxt\1501512.u18 IBM PCjr (1984) A home machine, which had better graphics and sound than most XTs but was not hardware compatible with the PC. ROM files needed: ibmpcjr\bios.rom IBM AT (1984) This was the 'next generation' PC, fully 16-bit with an 80286. The original model came with a 6mhz 286, which ran three times as fast as the XT. This model also introduced EGA. ROM files needed: ibmat\at111585.0 ibmat\at111585.1 Olivetti M24 (1984) An enhanced XT clone, also known as the AT&T PC 6300. Has an 8086 CPU, and an unusual 'double-res' CGA display. ROM files needed: olivetti_m24\olivetti_m24_version_1.43_low.bin olivetti_m24\olivetti_m24_version_1.43_high.bin Tandy 1000 (1984) This is a clone of the unsuccessful IBM PCjr, which added better graphics and sound to the XT, but removed much expandability plus some other hardware (such as the DMA controller). The Tandy puts back the DMA controller and ISA slots, making it a much more useful machine. Many games from the late 80s support the Tandy. ROM files needed: tandy\tandy1t1.020 Tandy 1000HX (1987) A Tandy 1000 with a faster 7.16 MHz 8088, and DOS in ROM. ROM files needed: tandy1000hx\v020000.u12 Tandy 1000SL/2 (1989) An enhanced Tandy 1000 with a 9.54 MHz 8086, and enhanced graphics and sound. ROM files needed: tandy1000sl2\8079047.hu1 tandy1000sl2\8079048.hu2 DTK Clone XT (1986) A generic clone XT board. ROM files needed: dtk\dtk_erso_2.42_2764.bin Amstrad PC1512 (1986) This was Amstrad's first entry into the PC clone market (after the CPC and PCW machines), and was the first cheap PC available in the UK, selling for only £500. It was a 'turbo' clone, having an 8mhz 8086, as opposed to an 8088, and had 512k RAM as standard. It also had a perculiar modification to its onboard CGA controller - the 640x200 mode had 16 colours instead of the usual 2. This was put to good use by GEM, which shipped with the machine. Amstrad's CGA implementation has a few oddities, these are emulated as best as possible. This mainly affects games defining unusual video modes, though 160x100x16 still works (as on the real machine). ROM files needed: pc1512\40043.v1 pc1512\40044.v2 pc1512\40078.ic127 Amstrad PC1640 (1987) Amstrad's followup to the PC1512, the PC1640 had 640k of RAM and onboard EGA, but was otherwise mostly the same. ROM files needed: pc1640\40043.v3 pc1640\40044.v3 pc1640\40100 Sinclair PC200/Amstrad PC20 (1988) This was Amstrad's entry to the 16-bit home computer market, intended to compete with the Atari ST and Commodore Amiga. It's similar to the PC1512, but is based on Amstrad's portable PPC512 system. With stock CGA and PC speaker, it couldn't compare with the ST or Amiga. ROM files needed: pc200\pc20v2.0 pc200\pc20v2.1 pc200\40109.bin Schneider Euro PC (1988) A German XT clone. An 'all-in-one' system like the Sinclair PC200. I don't know much about this machine to be honest! This doesn't appear to work with the XTIDE BIOS, so therefore this is the only model that does not support hard discs. ROM files needed: europc\50145 europc\50146 (c)Anonymous Generic Turbo XT BIOS (1988?) This is a BIOS whose source code was made available on Usenet in 1988. It appears to be an anonymous BIOS from an XT clone board. It was then heavily modified to fix bugs. The history of this BIOS (and the source code) is at http://dizzie.narod.ru/bios.txt ROM files needed: genxt\pcxt.rom AMI XT clone (1989) ROM files needed: amixt\ami_8088_bios_31jan89.bin DTK XT clone (1988) ROM files needed: dtk\dtk_erso_2.42_2764.bin VTech Laser Turbo XT (1987) ROM files needed: ltxt\27c64.bin VTech Laser XT3 (1989) ROM files needed: lxt3\27c64d.bin Phoenix XT clone (1986) ROM files needed: pxxt\000p001.bin Juko XT clone (1988) ROM files needed: jukopc\000o001.bin Commodore PC30-III (1988) A fairly generic 286 clone. ROM files needed: cmdpc30\commodore pc 30 iii even.bin cmdpc30\commodore pc 30 iii odd.bin Amstrad PC2086 (1989) The PC2086 is essentially a PC1640 with VGA and 3.5" floppy drives. ROM files needed: pc2086\40179.ic129 pc2086\40180.ic132 pc2086\40186.ic171 Amstrad PC3086 (1990) The PC3086 is a version of the PC2086 with a more standard case. ROM files needed: pc3086\fc00.bin pc3086\c000.bin Dell System 200 (1990?) This is a pretty generic 286 clone with a Phoenix BIOS. ROM files needed: dells200\dell0.bin dells200\dell1.bin AMI 286 clone (1990) This is a generic 286 clone with an AMI BIOS. ROM files needed: ami286\amic206.bin Award 286 clone (1990) This is a generic 286 clone with an Award BIOS. ROM files needed: award286\award.bin IBM PS/1 Model 2011 (1990) This is a 286 with integrated VGA and a basic GUI and DOS 4.01 in ROM. ROM files needed: ibmps1\f80000.bin Compaq Deskpro 386 (1989) An early 386 system. I don't think this BIOS is from the original 1986 version (the very first 386 system), but from a 1989 refresh. ROM files needed: deskpro386\109592-005.u11.bin deskpro386\109591-005.u13.bin IBM PS/1 Model 2121 (1990) This is a 386SX with integrated VGA. ROM files needed: ibmps1_2121\fc0000.bin Acermate 386SX/25N (1992?) An integrated 386SX clone, with onboard Oak SVGA and IO. ROM files needed: acer386\acer386.bin acer386\oti067.bin DTK 386SX clone (1990) ROM files needed: dtk386\3cto001.bin Amstrad MegaPC (1992) A 386SX clone (otherwise known as the PC7386SX) with a built-in Sega Megadrive. Only the PC section is emulated, obv. ROM files needed: megapc\41651-bios lo.u18 megapc\211253-bios hi.u19 AMI 386SX clone (1994) This is a generic 386SX clone with an AMI BIOS. ROM files needed: ami386\ami386.bin MR 386DX clone (1994) This is a generic 386DX clone with an MR BIOS. ROM files needed: mr386dx\opt495sx.mr AMI 386DX clone (1994) This is a generic 386DX clone with an AMI BIOS. This is the only currently emulated 386DX system to support an external cache. ROM files needed: ami386dx\opt495sx.ami AMI 486 clone (1993) This is a generic 486 clone with an AMI BIOS. The BIOS came from my 486SX/25, bought in December 1993. ROM files needed: ami486\ami486.bin AMI WinBIOS 486 clone (1994) A 486 clone with a newer AMI BIOS. ROM files needed: win486\ali1429g.amw Award SiS 496/497 (1995) A 486 clone using the SiS 496/497 chipset, with PCI bus and Award BIOS. ROM files needed: sis496\sis496-1.awa Intel Premiere/PCI (Batman's Revenge) (1994) A Socket 4 based board with 430LX chipset. ROM files needed: revenge\1009af2_.bi0 revenge\1009af2_.bi1 Intel Advanced/EV (Endeavor) (1995) A Socket 5/7 based board with 430FX chipset. The real board has a Sound Blaster Vibra 16 on board, which is not emulated - use a discrete card instead. Some Advanced/EVs also had a Trio64 on board, the emulated board does not have this either. ROM files needed: endeavor\1006cb0_.bi0 endeavor\1006cb0_.bi1 Award 430VX PCI (1996) A generic Socket 5/7 board with 430VX chipset. ROM files needed: 430vx\55xwuq0e.bin PCem emulates the following graphics adapters : MDA The original PC adapter. This displays 80x25 text in monochrome. Hercules A clone of MDA, with the addition of a high-resolution 720x348 graphics mode. CGA The most common of the original adapters, supporting 40x25 and 80x25 text, and 320x200 in 4 colours, 640x200 in 2 colours, and a composite mode giving 160x200 in 16 colours. Plantronics ColorPlus An enhanced CGA board, with support for 320x200x16 and 640x200x4. Wyse WY-700 A CGA-compatible board, with support for a 1280x800 mode IBM EGA The original 1984 IBM EGA card, with 256k VRAM. ROM files needed: ibm_6277356_ega_card_u44_27128.bin Hercules InColor An enhanced Hercules with a custom 720x350 16 colour mode. IBM VGA The original VGA card. ROM files needed: ibm_vga.bin Trident 8900D SVGA A low cost SVGA board circa 1992/1993. Not the greatest board in it's day, but it has a reasonable VESA driver and (buggy) 15/16/24-bit colour modes. ROM files needed: trident.bin Trident TGUI9440 A later Trident board with GUI acceleration. Windows 9x doesn't include drivers for this, so they have to be downloaded and installed separately. ROM files needed: 9440.vbi Tseng ET4000AX SVGA A somewhat better SVGA board than the Trident, here you get better compatibility and speed (on the real card, not the emulator) in exchange for being limited to 8-bit colour. ROM files needed: et4000.bin Diamond Stealth 32 SVGA An ET4000/W32p based board, has 15/16/24-bit colour modes, plus acceleration. ROM files needed: et4000w32.bin Paradise Bahamas 64 An S3 Vision864 based board. ROM files needed: bahamas64.bin Number Nine 9FX An S3 Trio64 based board. ROM files needed: s3_764.bin ATI VGA Edge-16 A basic SVGA clone. ROM files needed: vgaedge16.vbi ATI VGA Charger A basic SVGA clone, similar to the Edge-16. ROM files needed: bios.bin ATI Graphics Pro Turbo A Mach64GX based board. ROM files needed: mach64gx/bios.bin OAK OTI-067 A basic SVGA clone. ROM files needed: oti067/bios.bin Diamond Stealth 3D 2000 An S3 ViRGE/325 based board. PCem emulates the ViRGE S3D engine in software. This works with most games I tried, but there may be some issues. The Direct3D drivers for the /325 are fairly poor (often showing as missing triangles), so use of the /DX instead is recommended. The streams processor (video overlay) is also emulated, however many features are missing. ROM files needed: s3virge.bin S3 ViRGE/DX An S3 ViRGE/DX based board. The drivers that come with Windows are similar to those for the /325, however better ones do exist (try the 8-21-1997 version). With the correct drivers, many early Direct3D games work okay (if slowly). ROM files needed: 86c375_1.bin 3DFX Voodoo Graphics 3D accelerator. Widely supported in late 90s games. PCem emulates this in software. The emulation is a lot faster than in v10 (thanks to a new dynamic recompiler) and should be capable of hitting Voodoo 1 performance on most machines when two render threads are used. As before, the emulated CPU is the bottleneck for most games. PCem can emulate 6 and 8 MB configurations, but defaults to 4 MB for compatibility. It can also emulate the screen filter present on the original card, though this does at present have a noticeable performance hit. Almost everything I've tried works okay, with a very few exceptions - Screamer 2 and Rally have serious issues. Obsidian SB50 Voodoo Graphics with 2 TMUs. Drivers for this are a bit limited - the official drivers don't support 2 TMUs in Direct3D. Voodoo 2 Improved Voodoo Graphics - higher clocks, 2 TMUs, triangle setup etc. PCem can emulate both 8 and 12 MB configurations. It can also emulate 6 and 10 MB configurations (with 2MB framebuffer memory), which were never sold into the PC market but do exist for arcade systems. Some models have fixed graphics adapters : IBM PCjr CGA with various new modes - 160x200x16, 320x200x16, 640x200x4. Olivetti M24 CGA with double-res text modes and a 640x400 mode. I haven't seen a dump of the font ROM for this yet, so if one is not provided the MDA font will be used - which looks slightly odd as it is 14-line instead of 16-line. Tandy 1000 Clone of PCjr video. Widely supported in 80s games. Tandy 1000 SL/2 Improvement of Tandy 1000, with support for 640x200x16. Amstrad PC1512 CGA with a new mode (640x200x16). Only supported in GEM to my knowledge. Amstrad PC1640 Paradise EGA. Amstrad PC2086/PC3086 Paradise PVGA1. An early SVGA clone with 256kb VRAM. IBM PS/1 Model 2011 Stock VGA with 256kb VRAM. IBM PS/1 Model 2121 Basic (and unknown) SVGA with 256kb VRAM. Amstrad MegaPC Paradise 90C11. A development of the PVGA1, with 512kb VRAM. Acer 386SX/25N Oak OTI-067. Another 512kb SVGA clone. PCem emulates the following sound devices : PC speaker The standard beeper on all PCs. Supports samples/RealSound. Tandy PSG The Texas Instruments chip in the PCjr and Tandy 1000. Supports 3 voices plus noise. I reused the emulator in B-em for this (slightly modified). v11 now emulates the differences between the SN76496 (PCjr and Tandy 1000), and the NCR8496 (currently assigned to the Tandy 1000HX). Maniac Mansion and Zak McKraken will only sound correct on the latter. Tandy PSSJ Used on the Tandy 1000SL/2, this clones the NCR8496, adding an addition frequency divider (did any software actually use this?) and an 8-bit DAC. PS/1 audio card An SN76496 clone plus an 8-bit DAC. The SN76496 isn't at the same address as PCjr/Tandy, so most software doesn't support it. Gameblaster The Creative Labs Gameblaster/Creative Music System, Creative's first sound card introduced in 1987. Has two Philips SAA1099, giving 12 voices of square waves plus 4 noise voices. In stereo! Adlib Has a Yamaha YM3812, giving 9 voices of 2 op FM, or 6 voices plus a rhythm section. PCem uses the DOSBox dbopl emulator. Adlib Gold OPL3 with YM318Z 12-bit digital section. Possibly some bugs (not a lot of software to test). The surround module is now emulated. Sound Blaster Several Sound Blasters are emulated : SB v1.0 - The original. Limited to 22khz, and no auto-init DMA (can cause crackles sometimes). SB v1.5 - Adds auto-init DMA SB v2.0 - Upped to 41khz SB Pro v1.0 - Stereo, with twin OPL2 chips. SB Pro v2.0 - Stereo, with OPL 3 chip SB 16 - 16 bit stereo SB AWE32 - SB 16 + wavetable MIDI. This requires a ROM dump from a real AWE32. All are set to Address 220, IRQ 7 and DMA 1 (and High DMA 5). IRQ and DMA can be changed for the SB16 & AWE32 in the drivers. The relevant SET line for autoexec.bat is SET BLASTER = A220 I7 D1 Tx - where Tx is T1 for SB v1.0, T3 for SB v2.0, T4 for SB Pro, and T6 for SB16. AWE32 requires a ROM dump called awe32.raw. AWE-DUMP is a utility which can get a dump from a real card. Most EMU8000 functionality should work, however filters are not correct and reverb/chorus effects are not currently emulated. Gravis Ultrasound 32 voice sample playback. Port address is fixed to 240, IRQ and DMA can be changed from the drivers. Emulation is improved significantly over previous versions. Windows Sound System 16-bit digital + OPL3. Note that this only emulates WSS itself, and should not be used with drivers from compatible boards with additional components (eg Turtle Beach Monte Carlo) Innovation SSI-2001 SID6581. Emulated using resid-fp. Board is fixed to port 280. Other stuff emulated : Serial mouse A Microsoft compatible serial mouse on COM1. Compatible drivers are all over the place for this. M24 mouse I haven't seen a DOS mouse driver for this yet, but the regular scancode mode works, as does the Windows 1.x driver. PC1512 mouse The PC1512's perculiar quadrature mouse. You need Amstrad's actual driver for this one. PS/2 mouse A standard 2 button PS/2 mouse. As with serial, compatible drivers are common. Microsoft PS/2 Intellimouse A PS/2 mouse with mouse wheel. ATAPI CD-ROM Works with OAKCDROM.SYS, VDD-IDE.SYS, and the internal drivers of every OS I've tried. XTIDE : The XTIDE board is emulated for machines that don't natively support IDE hard discs. You will need to download the XTIDE BIOS seperately. Of the various versions, ide_at.bin and ide_xt.bin should be placed in the ROMS directory. ide_xt is used on all XT models, and ide_at is used on the IBM AT and Commodore PC30-III machines. The BIOS is available at : http://code.google.com/p/xtideuniversalbios/ v2.0.0 beta 1 is the version I've mostly tested. v2.0.0 beta 3 is known to have some issues. For the PS/1, you will need v1.1.5. The PS/1 is a bit fussy with XTIDE, and I've found that it works best when the XTIDE configuration has 'Full Operating Mode' disabled. This version must be called ide_at_1_1_5.bin and should also be placed in the ROMS directory. Notes : - The time on the PC1512 clock is wrong. The date is correct, though since the PC1512's bios isn't Y2k compliant, it thinks it's 1988. - The envelope system on the Gameblaster isn't emulated. The noise may not be right either. - Some of the more unusual VGA features are not emulated. I haven't found anything that uses them yet. - On some versions of Windows the AWE32 is not set up correctly, claiming a resource conflict. To correct this open the relevant item in Device Manager, choose 'Set Configuration Manually' and accept the options presented.
