I am sure over time PCem updates will get better and better and faster hardware will also help it perform better.ĭo not get me wrong, many games and programs work very well on PCem, but at the same time some games are just worse than they would be on the native hardware(and this has nothing to do with the emulator slowing down to be accurate). Start adding more or playing more demanding games(or games that simply do not get along with the emulator) and things slow down(slower than the old system would be) It is not like the emulator has lots of headroom on those types of systems. It is not like emulated a P133 + Voodoo could be done on even a 2-3ghz system(not with native performance). It only emulates systems from back in the day and keeps the speed accurate no matter how much faster you couldĮmulation of a full system is simply hard. Some games were made for Windows 3.1 instead of DOS, you will need to install Windows 3.1 in DOSBox. The video card emulation seems to be very hard on the system as well. Even playing games at rather low resolutions. Look around you will see people using fairly fast machines and only emulating 75-90mhz systems due to performance. Have a look at Windows 98 Emulator For Mac collection of imagesor see related: Windows 98 Emulator For Mac Download (in 2021) and Windows 98 Emulator Mac Os. The cpu it is emulating is also not THAT fast.
It is emulating a full computer and thus SLOW.
