Status of x-86 emulation
07/20/21 10:46 AM


I just have a few questions to ask, and maybe it's not the place to do so, but i'll ask you anyway I don't know where I should ask elsewhere.

What is the status of X-86 emulation, and everything related to X-86 emulation? It's been years now, and I don't see (maybe i'm wrong, it's soooo complicated) a way to launch a win 95 in mame (mess) for example, or an xbox game.

Everything is known about this architecture, so I don't understand why it's sooooo impossible, now for 26 years...

VM-Ware works nicely, soooooo... Why not in Mame? I don't understand why, when downloading the fullset, there is slot games with 3,2 gigs to emulate an LCD display when it works with 3 functions and 5 numbers... I know everything is important, it's the history, etc... But I can't understand nobody is motivated to have Win 95 applications useable with a Mame panel or joystick... The way Mame works is so nice, everything should be "Mame-like".

(And about the "legal" stuff (sorry for the word), everything is also illegal, starting from the bios to the roms when you don't own the original. As far as I see, it's Ok to break one market, but not another. Just Saying... Plus, it's impossible to use Win95 now outside an emulator, so this wouldn't break anything.)

And, even if we talk about linux, I have a few old Linuxes that doesn't work anymore in my computer, so they are lost "from history", for now at least.

Sooooo.......? Do I have every time to use emulators from the outside? I would really like to use Mame for everything. The way I launch a CPS3 game, in Mame from a CD CPS3 game, or a Saturn game in SSF, every Win95 game could be launched that way? Win95 becoming the Bios. Even with a command script, why not? And, plus, in SSF, you can launch some games without bios. For example, if you could use the available stuff in win95 installation to just launch these games, and query all related files when needed?

I want to say, no offense. I really appreciate your work and all stuff in Mame/Mess, even if, in my opinion, Mess functions are really complicated. The project is so big, just find a game is quite a "mission"... I can't even find a list of systems (computer) commands in duckduckgo. But i'm a big fan of the ensemble. I just can't understand why win is so "spared" by everybody...

And, if this already exist but poorly documented, I could make a video on Youtube? Boki Ball the name.
