		rnd0 on April 3, 2021 \| parent \| context \| favorite \| on: Windows 95 – How Does It Look Today? I'd recommend 86box over pcem, myself. It has support for a lot more machines, frequent releases (including snapshots) and a better UI. Plus you don't have to go on a wild goose chase hunting down roms.

In my experience, 86box tends to require a lot more resources than PCem. For example, a standard PC XT configuration will peg a whole CPU core in 86box at 100% while PCem will use just 10% of a single core. I don't know if it's a bug but it makes using 86box on a laptop uncomfortable.
