This code blob will allow a 286 to prefetch up to 36 bytes ahead. While the processor is busy doing a 31 bit shift (36 cycles) the prefetch queue pulls words at a rate of about 1 word per 2 cycles (thanks to address pipelining) and the decoder is able to store 3 bytes of fully decoded instructions. Those 3 instructions are all 10 bytes, including 9 bytes of useless DS prefixes and a single byte in

RealDOOM, my x86-16 port of DOOM is now in Beta
Streamed some gameplay of RealDOOM on the DOOM2 engine on the 286-25 last night. (There are still bugs, but also stretches of over half an hour with clean gameplay...)
