pcem PC emulator - Crow - 11-27-2019

This is a lesser know PC emulator (I rarely see it mentioned when talking about DOS and early Windows emulation), but in many areas it's better then alternatives. The main difference is that it tries to emulate real hardware, to the point where you actually need BIOS ROM image of the thing you want to emulate. This has a big compatibility advantage since you then use real era appropriate drivers for the actual hardware.

It's not an easy thing to setup and you will need to get those BIOS dumps somewhere (Google). But at least for me this was the best way to emulate Windows 95/98 with great compatibly (you will need very fast CPU for anything above Pentium 100).
