What would be the best way to go about contacting Lars Skovlund?

With all due respect, I'm not interested in using DOSBox. That's why I posted in this section of the forum. With my current setup, DOSBox is more trouble than it's worth. 7000-10000 cycles may be good enough to get it *to run*, but my Pentium 90 can run it much better (with exception of the sound.) …

I can only get about 7000-10000 cycles before DOSBox starts running like crap. But I did manage to get the sound working again. I had to set the set the tandy sound back to auto because for some reason it was trying to play the sounds through tandy dac. But that still doesn't answer my question: How …

Freddy Pharkas is an SCI game, so no ScummVM, but eL_PuSHeR does have a point about DOSBox. I have no issues with FP's SB audio in DOSBox. If you are limited to that system can you install Win 3x and just play the Windows version? My fastest computer (2GHz P4 w/ XP Pro) is too old to run DOSBox …

Does anyone know how to get the sound to work correctly in Freddy Pharkas using the Sound Blaster driver on a sb16 compatible sound card? Only the first couple sound effects play before it stops working. I have always used the thunderboard driver, but it sounds crappy, and I would really like to get …

Try starting the install program by typing INSTALL /F. That forces it to enter install mode instead of configure mode.

I got bored and downloaded the GK1 DEMO today. I remembered that this demo was SCI 1.1, and I noticed that the intro wasn't jumpy like KQ6. Naturally, I had to test the video driver with KQ6, and to my amazement, it played through the KQ6 intro flawlessly. I have attached the video driver and …

I'd say that Hal's build would be a detriment to games of that generation That's why if such a feature were to be added, it should be optional and adjustable . Edit: After furthur testing I've discovered it probably wouldn't contribute enough of a speed increase to be worth implementing solely for …

Who knows about other games, though. Thank you, that's precisely my point. As I stated above: The screen transitions are a minor thing I can put up with. But in my opinion, an emulator should emulate the original hardware as much as possible. VGA cards were not that fast, so neither should DOSBox.

Oh probably, I almost laughed myself silly when I stably got almost 16000 cycles on my 1.1 GHz P3 win98, when this crappy 2 GHz can only get about 9000. I blame XP and Norton AV. One of these times I really will give Norton the boot, but oh, it's so hard to not use things you spend good money on, …

The video hardware emulation has absolutely nothing to do with your sound skipping problem. I suppose, if you say so. It just seems odd that only the transitions cause it the sound skip. It's not like they're that stressful on the CPU, 286's performed these transitions back in the day. Video is the …

I'm sure it ran great on your computer, but as NewRisingSun said: ISA botterneck, slow video RAM. If someone were to program a speed cap in, I KNOW, the sound wouldn't skip, even on my old beast. The reason it skips on mine though, as I'm sure our friend will agree, is because there's no bottleneck …

Re: DOSBox video speed

I appreciate your help, but I guess I'm trying to hint at a long term, permanent solution, not just a quick-fix. The transitions by themselves aren't what's important. (Although, I really would like to see them!) It's the potential underlying problem that DOSBox emulates VGA way to fast that scares …
