If it loads to the emulator itself without a 'No ROMS detected' error, you installed it correctly! Install it from the Microsoft website or the VARCem installer. If you started up 86Box but only get an error about a DLL file/driver being missing, you didn't install the DirectX runtime yet. If successful, you will get the same directory, but with a 'roms' folder that contains everything needed. You're almost done, all you need to do is grab a 'roms' folder with their required files and unzip it to the same directory of 86Box. Then, unzip it and you'll get the executable and a bunch of files, like so: First thing's first is to get the 'last stable build' from. While the Github has instructions, that's for building 86Box, not installing it. If you don't get a 'No ROMS detected' error, then you installed PCem correctly.Ĩ6Box is a bit harder to install. Load up PCem and you'll get this window, with no configurations:Ĭlick the 'New' button on the bottom left. You will need to copy the ROM files to the right folders in the 'roms' directory. Inside this folder is also a 'roms' directory. You might not see the 'screenshots' or 'configs' folder yet, but you'll see almost everything else there. PCem (v15 as of this posting) when first installed and unzip (assuming that you can go to and download their current version) will look something like this: Follow below on which emulator you want to install: NOTE: The PCem family requires ROM images to be able to run, which cannot and will not be provided here. You probably should get a better computer if you have anything slower than 2.0 GHz. At about 2.0 GHz you can only get best performance on 486 level BIOS.

At least a 4.0 GHz processor if you plan on getting full performance on Pentium level BIOS.This will ensure that when you're running the emulator that your computer's memory won't get filled. 86Box will refuse to load without the runtime. PCem and 86Box is also capable of running on Linux systems. Here is a reasonable list of prerequisites to install practically anything in the family: Installing this family doesn't look that easy at first but is very simple in the end. Using PCem or 86Box can help ease installation of DOS Windows and Windows 9x builds, but can also do good work for early NT versions, OS/2, and even the Apple Rhapsody releases.

This guide is meant to show how you will use this series of emulators.

Apparently, I am now seeing that many people are having a hard time getting the PCem family (PCem and 86Box) to be installed or run.
