However, the most popular PC98 emulator in Japan is Anex86. Although a few games doen't work with it (e.g. Ningyo Tsukai: the original Japanese version of Metal & Lace), Anex86 has high emulating performance. Strictly speaking, Anex86 is not a PC98 emulator. It is the emulator of EPSON's PC-286, 386, 486, 586 which are compatible hardware of NEC's PC98. Therefore some games need to have the EPSON check removed: this fragment of code discriminates whether the hardware is the genuine NEC PC98 or not. You can download the check remover, DISPELL, from this page.

PC-88 and 98 game archives

Many PC-88 came on several floppy disks, thus most of the games published in the 90s have several nested archives. You will also find a lot of disks have the [a] tag, meaning it's an alternate dump of the disk. You may come across other tags in brackets, these are based on the TOSEC Naming Convention:
- cr: cracked
- f: fixed
- h: hacked
- m: modified
- p: pirated
- t: trained
- tr: translated
- o: over dump
- u: under dump
- v: virus
- b: bad dump

Emulator For Mac To Play Pc Games For Free
- Controls: For games, movement is almost always Numpad 4,6,2,8 or the cursor keys. The buttons are usually some combination of Enter, Spacebar, Shift, Esc, Tab, and ZXCV.
- Error / Beep / Glitches / blue-green screen: V2 mode games will not run in V1 mode and return an error (or just beep at you). V1 games will usually run in V2 mode, but with subtle glitches. A common symptom of a V1 game running incorrectly in V2 mode is a washed-out bluish-green screen. If you see screens like this, you need to switch to V1 mode (Control menu).
- CPU speed: The choice between 4Mhz and 8MHz is mostly just a matter of convenience, but keep in mind that some older games run too fast at 8MHz.
- Settings: open 'M88 Settings in English.html' to see a translated version of the settings.
