The editing on these videos is top notch. And hilarious. Please don't change!

[CodeLlama]

This is PURE GOLD. I got it working super easy with your help. Oh the sweet sweet nostalgia....

[carlosla]

I really like the style of the video and the effort you put into it. Oh and it was helpful as well

[CardcaptorLiShowron]

I was planning on getting one of them CD drivers that help pcs play cds that don’t have a cd drive, and I was planning on playing my windows 95 game on it. Thanks for the information.

[eziothedeadpoet]

Oh the watchdogs loading screen transitions are amazing!

[Masonicon]

PCem will be my go-to way of installing windows 9x on my Steam deck

[branmuffin]

Thanks for this video! I’m going to install windows 98 on my steam deck. I want to play Tanktics (1999) which I can’t get working with proton at all.

[amit_patel]

Omg I remember Encarta! I kinda sucked at it though but I played the shit outta that game! lol

[HoangNguyen-ejwb]

I'm glad you use Proton instead of trying to install the Linux binary. Unless it's available as a Appimage or a Flatpak, it's generally better to install the Windows version on Steam Deck.
By the way, I wonder why you didn't use 86Box as it's available on the Discover store.

[mikedavidson]

good video just need a steam deck now might try it on my pc though

[lorumipsum]

I’ve been looking for how to do this since I found out virtual box isn’t compatible with the deck should be interesting for winning Windows 95 and 98SC era games but I wonder if it can work with older versions of Windows or maybe Windows XP

[polocatfan]

Monty python and the holy grail is such a good game.

[shivacrazyvibe]

Nice catch. Wonder if xp64 will do job without emu.

[AceTheBoar]

What synwave song you using in the vid i love it! And dude this is awesome always fun to see retro windows on modern hardware

[bradplexflix]

i love this kind of stuff. Geoworks only runs on win95. its like an os inside an os inside steam deck lol

[StreetsOfSonic]

This looks a tad intimidafing. Will this be able to emulate Windows 3.1? And if so, how treacherous is it to install? I'm extremely basic with my PC knowledge and I'm afraid if I try to do this that I might do something that ends up corrupting my steamdeck.

To advertisers:

I know no advertisers will ever see this, but its pointless trying to show me adverts, you can stop my adblocker, but i'll just switch the sound off. If you disable the sound toggle, i'll just find another way or not use the site. I won't watch or listen to your adverts. Nope. No. NEIN

To the creator of the video, keep it up

[hlalueth]

Can you configure and launch PCem from a SD-Card? Or has it to be installed on the NVME-Drive?

[guest]

Great video. How do you access the PCem menu options in game mode? E.g. to mount cd/dvd media

[Jahades]

Winworldpc is a better source for older windows isos plus they have the keys there as well
