Any PC-98 fans here? What's the best way to play PC-98 titles nowadays? Actual machine or emulator? What are some good titles to check out?

Also I heard NEC ported Unix System III and V to PC-98 but I can't find a copy of these operating systems anywhere.

I have no idea why you're even asking. Just use a search engine. I assume your smart enough to do that given your expertise on 40 year old dead operating systems.

As for emulators.

>Anex86

Both good, but I think the Neko Project lacks something I forget.

I grabbed a few a long while ago while looking for good old horror games, i'm sure they're up on archive.org.

Good luck OP, it's a chill aesthetic.

It requires some tinkering around to get it to work with text hookers, but otherwise I usually see it being reccomended since it's more up to date.

As for roms, Neo Kobe probably has anything you might be looking for, just be wary that they are organized by company so you'll need the name of the developer/publisher if you're looking for a specific game.

Thanks a bunch guys.

Speaking of horror titles, are there any you'd recommend?

NTA but Dead of the Brain got a proper english translation last year:

https://gbatemp.net/download/dead-of-the-brain-cry-of-the-dead-pc-98-english-patch.38296/

Other stuff that comes to mind:
Marine Phillt
Dead of the Brain 2
Dracula Hakushaku
"Forbidden Rhythm" from Marginal Storys

 

I found this ancient PC-98 emulator for the PSP, which appears to be a port of Neko Project II, and wondered if I could run it in PSVita through Adrenaline. I have a PSP Go as a back up in case that doesn't work out. I'm not sure how the controls work since its keyboard based and the PSP DOSBox controls are very awkward for me at least. I've heard there are ways to attach a keyboard to the Vita, no idea about the PSP, but that takes away from the portable appeal.

Can anyone recommend some good lesser known VNs

Recently played through Re-No - Stayin' Alive, it was short but sweet.

Other random stuff that comes to mind:

Aegean Kai no Shizuku (more of a myst clone but still interesting and worth cheking out)
Jewel Bem Hunter Lime series
Exciting Milk series

 

I have emulated it on RetroArch. I didn't play it back then.

I own a PC-9821 V13 with a voodoo2 and the famous 86 soundchip, with an AMD K6-III cpu. Its almost as maxed out as you can make one for that era.
