qemu-3dfx VS 86Box

There is also https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx pass-through 3D acceleration for qemu https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=e34mSBxDm7s

I've been porting this to Nixos all week. Handles glide emulation pretty well

As for 3D acceleration, I've seen this repository (no idea if it works) https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx, and I've also seen that QEMU added the "ati-vga" device, which supports the Rage 128 Pro and Radeon RV100, but those seem to be a bit WIP.

If you are a true gamer from the late 90' s though, you can and probably will run into an old game that doesn't work on modern windows. PCem is really the only good option IMO, but performance is very limited. Especially with glide and 3d acceleration, even the fastest CPUs aren't able to emulate much faster than a pentium II 200mhz at voodoo 2 at full speed (if you are emulating MMX on top of that forget it). Virtualization is possible but not likely to help as win95 virtualization is very basic and doesn't do much gaming things very well. With that said, there are some pretty crazy virtualization projects out there; here is one that requires you to compile everything from source yourself for basically no reason https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx (have fun).

Your OpenGL problems could be related to configuring GL extensions limit. See: https://github.com/kjliew/qemu-3dfx/issues/15

For emulation, you can look into PCem/86Box

Unsurprising, of the 300 staffing agencies in our area only 23 are actually licensed to legally operate as a service. Trying to authenticate which are "fake" or "real" is a thread most companies/applicants rather not pull.

There is also the fake-hire scam: where staff are lured away with a lucrative compensation packages, data-mined by the competitor, and finally jettisoned before the evaluation period expires (typically 6 to 10 months).

A few infected PDFs from various bad actors are also floating around out there with exaggerated promises.

Keep safe, and note 86box supports read-only backing images and sessions Like Bochs/kvm:

(works on Apple M1 laptops, but is slow)

Features are implemented much, much faster, especially if you use nightly builds. Always adding hardware. You can look at the changelog: https://github.com/86Box/86Box/releases

You want 86Box, a full PC emulator as opposed to a virtual machine.

There's also 86Box, which you might want to look into if PCem doesn't work for you.

Like someone else said, grab a "updated" copy from here: https://github.com/86Box/86Box/actions/runs/3359207906 and then the romset from here: https://github.com/86Box/roms

Apparently 86Box can run it: https://scalibq.wordpress.com/2019/01/19/an-emulator-that-8088-mph-doesnt-break/#comment-33824
