Although they are not essential, you may need drivers for some of your peripherals, such as mouse, video or soundcards.
AllBootDisks keeps startup images for many OSes. OSes that boot from CD-ROM may need a startup disk. PCem supports FreeDOS, MS-DOS, Windows 95, Windows 98, Windows ME and Windows XP. We'll use it to copy files to our harddrive image. The program WinImage to manage our harddrive images. These roms need to be uncompressed and then copied to the folder PCem\Roms\PC_model, and the peripherals (these include videocards) in PCem\Roms\. If you don't know where to start, try getting some IBM PC models from the complete MAME / MESS romset, together with the "IBM VGA Graphics Card" (pcvga.zip) file. Linux and Macintosh are also supported, although you may need to compile the program yourselves in those cases. If we plan to emulate 486 / Pentium class machines a Core Duo or better is recommended. On the other hand, it is a perfect solution for those interested in old hardware or who owned a PC during the 1980-90s and want to revive old times. Therefore, it shouldn't be your first option to run older PC games. PCem uses low level emulation and faithfully reproduces the behaviour of these machines. It emulates exact models of personal computers, from the earliest 1981 IBM PC (with a 8088 CPU and CGA graphics) to Pentium class computers with SVGA graphics with or without 3Dfx acceleration. It's been created by Sarah Walker and can be downloaded from her homepage. First of all, PCem is a PC and compatible emulator.
