To get sound working, create a file called .asoundrc in the home directory with contents: pcm.!default "hw:0,0"

You need ROM files for the IBM PC. Also need mda.rom for the MDA graphics card (PCem readme is wrong when it says this is not needed).

Author's comments and explanations:

While driving the roads of New Mexico, California, or even Eastern Europe, you may find your way blocked by a pace of donkeys. The question is whether Bill Gates had such an experience. Odd question, you say? Well, what else would cause someone to write DONKEY.BAS? Perhaps that question will never be answered. We do know, however, that Gates's game inspired a tiny tribute for the IBM PC's 35th anniversary: Sorry Ass. Now you can experience the thrill of swerving to avoid tens of donkeys on your very own x86 PC. It being a PC booter, the operating system is optional! Just write the disk image to a blank floppy you have sitting around and--what do you mean, What's a floppy?? No time to explain, there are only minutes of 2021-04-01 left in YouTube's time zone. Just watch this glorious encode:

High-quality headphones are a must to properly enjoy the soundtrack.
