     @Blackthorn @dukeboitans @dukeofprunes Yes. As noted, this is the *first* fully cycle accurate PC emulator.

     @dukeboitans @dukeofprunes @dosnostalgic Would this be more accurate than PCem for 8086PC?

     @dukeofprunes @dosnostalgic In DOSBox every CPU instruction takes the same amount of time to execute, and you decide how many instruction to execute every millisecond.

     MartyPC emulates the Intel 8088 at a lower level, where every opcode takes the right amount of time and every I/O device is synchronized to a point where demos like 8088MPH and Area 5150 can correctly run.

     @dosnostalgic How is this compared to DOSBox?
