Where can I download the faster version of DOSBox, please? There was a talk about significantly faster new SVN x64 builds. Maybe some place hosts x64 builds of recent SVN. Emucr does not, for example, despite 64-bit Windows is common today. Since the 64 bit versions are presumably not too common at …

That's probably it then.

Games that use the first Unreal engine, such as Deus Ex , Unreal Tournament , and Unreal , have problems running on modern CPUs, due to those CPUs having features that the Unreal engine isn't prepared for, such as multiple cores, variable speeds on one CPU, a very high CPU speed, etc/ There's a good …

I bought a new TV a few days back, and I thought I might calibrate it, as the image is darker and less colourful than my previous TV. In the past I've just messed about with the usual options (colour, contrast, brightness, etc) on a TV until it looked OK, but it might be interesting to actually do …

OK. Google finds DOSBox SVN r4338 - 2020-04-29 on http://www.emucr.com/search/label/DOSBox. Is that what you mean? Also, is there a benchmark program I can use to test the relative speed of DOSBox versions, please?

Nope, still not working. First of all, should I put the .ISO in the PYl folder, or mount the ISO as a disc in a drive, or (mount the ISO as a disc in a driver and) install Pyl via it's own installer to the Pyl directory using MagicDisc or similar? I've currently done all three, , but the game won't …

Thanks for uploading these. But how do you get it to run, please? I've downloaded and installed Pyl from the Pyl CD image (called Pyl.iso , size 606,162,944 bytes), then downloaded both of your .7z files, un-archived them into the Pyl folder, and run the qemu.bat file, and the game doesn't start. …

I see. I can't think of anything to fix it, sorry, but does it do it in all the renderers in the options screen, including software? If not, then that might be a clue towards the cause.

What do you mean by 'pause' the game? I know HL has a pause button (at least I seem to recall that it does), but whenever I play HL, it's two expansions, or any of the mods, I pause the game by just pressing 'ESC' to go to the main menu, I never use the pause key. Have you tried pausing the game …
