Atlantis 1: The Lost Tales game seems to run fine. The FMV video scenes seem to run at normal speed. However ingame dialogue conversations with other characters seem to be a bit funny and weird. All 3D modelled character animations (not the video scenes) all move fast and shake while talking. They …

I just bought Atlantis 1: The Lost Tales (by Cyro Interactive). It ran on DOS & Win95 (written specs). It doesn't seem to appear to run on WinXP SP2. Does anyone know if there were patches made for this game to make it able to run under WinXP?

That is my next step. I can see it's got 100% compatibility in DOSBox list of games.

Am using VDMSound to play Discworld. I get sound/voices, but no background music. Does anyone know about the right setup? Since this is a very old game, the only music card choices there are: Adlib Adlib Compatible Soundblaster AWE32 Soundblaster OPL3 Soundblaster Yamama I tried many of them and …

AFAIR Vlad doesn't see VDMS not as important anymore since Dosbox does most of the things way better than VDMS ever could (and that on Win9x as well). A nice little website on his SF webspace wouldn't hurt though... You see, DOSBox is slow to run heavy old DOS games like Blood, Shadow Warrior, Duke …

When I ran it under DOSBox, Blood was so so slow. It started playing the demo of Blood (a recorded demo). I can hear it, but couldn't see it. Am wondering whether I need to tweak DOSBox, such as whether you can specify the CPU to emulate, etc.

Has anyone run Blood under DOSBox fast? Is DOSBox powerful enough to run a game like Blood?

Yes, I notice on the SF site that the latest version is 2.0.4, which was the same version like 2 years ago... maybe they gone boogie woogie?

Sorry eL_PuSHeR. That was a thought, and then I thought it could be something non-DOSBox related - and hence posted something more detailed in the PC General Forums.

I really loved the oldskool demos back in the pre-1995s. However they were "real" DOS demos were programmed in assembly/C and used EMS/XMS, etc. I've tried running some demos under DOSBox and they worked. However they ran really slow, more like slide-shows. This is because DOSBox is emulating the …

Am wondering. Instead of emulation, how about some virtual machine for PC demos? Would this be possible? Something like what ScummVM does for scumm games..

Yes, I noticed that it's very slow when using SB16. But Sound Blaster Pro 2 is alright. So would it be faster at SBPro1, or SB?

Wow, this is amazing. Two years ago when I wanted to show my girlfriend my long lost favourate demo Solstice by Valhalla, I thought it wouldn't happen. Solstice, a 1995 PC demo that was #1 in Wired '95 competition. Running on Windows XP was like impossible. I tried DOSBox and it still wouldn't work …
