Jokes on them, I've been mostly retro for years now. Games have sucked for a long time. I don't think it's any coincidence that randomizers are popping up to breathe new life into old games, while the big boys are busy cranking out remakes and remasters.
I haven't upgraded my PC since 2013. My PS4 has barely been turned on since I bought it ~4 years ago. The last thing I bought was one of those retro emulation handhelds. It's great, best purchase I made in over a decade.
I use PCEM on my PC! I can almost perfectly handle a Pentium II bios on a Slot 9. though some games stutter then others. Ironically the games that stutter are **less **demanding actually,
Also the latest version of PCEM uses VHD's now instead of whatever weird format they previously used for your virtual hard disk. That means it's compatible with virtualization programs like Oracle or VMware which sadly sucks compared to PCEM.
Why can't Oracel or VM have a passthru to use my actual graphics card for the 3D XP era games?
VirtualBox (Oracle) should have the guest additions thing to allow it to leverage your GPU. I remember having to play some stuff that way. Not sure about VMWare, never used it much.

Oh jeez, haha. I'm over here with my NES/SNES/PS1/PS2 stuff and you're emulating a PC to emulate DOS. What a champion.
