What UniPCemu is
UniPCemu is a free cycle-accurate x86 emulator for running classic PC games on Android and Windows, with additional builds for PSP, Nintendo Switch, and PS Vita. It emulates processors from the 8086/8088 generation through Pentium II and can provide software FPU emulation through drivers. Hardware is configurable, with graphics options ranging from IBM MDA to ET4000/W32 SVGA and sound options from the PC speaker to Sound Blaster 2.0. Supported controls include Xbox 360 controllers, mouse and keyboard, PSP-style input, and touch screens. Windows MIDI passthrough is available, and x360ce is suggested for other controllers. Windows server builds can simulate SLIP or PPP dial-up connections over TCP, with packet-server support for multiple clients and several protocols. Server settings can limit login attempts by calling IP and whitelist addresses. Users supply ROMs and disk images. Android data is not backed up automatically and may be deleted on uninstall.
