I haven't tried PCem yet.

My retro tinkering has been stagnant over the last month.

I haven't bought anything or even been tempted.

I discovered Medieval Dynasty and sunk a lot of time into that on my gaming PC.

I've a ticket for the Retro Revival gig in June.

And there was a diary clash for the first South West Amiga meet in Exeter, so I couldn't attend that.

It has really scratched that retro hardware itch for me, since you are literally emulating the hardware of the era it feels a bit more legit(?) than say dosbox, i love dosbox but there is something about running it on fake real hardware that i've configured myself.

My main laptop is comfortably running a P233mhz mmx with Voodoo 2 and s3virge, i've never noticed any performance hits

OOO Nice! I'd be interested to hear your thoughts. What was the cost in total shipped if you don't mind me asking?
£58.93 has left my bank account. This was from Tindie with the more expensive shipping option.

The issue now is which machine does it go in. I'm thinking my 386. But, when I tucked that away, it already had a good sound setup and a S2 wavetable running in it.

I could buy a new retro setup.. :p Although my wife wouldn't see that as an option.
