Why it is so? Daggerfall have some wonky behavior when the CPU is too fast. This happens if you play Daggerfall on a, say, 600MHz computer in DOS too. But all that means is you find a good speed and set your dosbox cycles to that level. That's exactly that's why we can control the cycles count, and …

Just a warning. Mounting folders in a system folders like the %ProgramFile% directory for old games can cause problems with permissions. It is recommended that you only mount folders that you have full write permissions, such as "C:\oldgames". This is why GOG now defaults to "C:\GOG Games" for its …

Make a CUE/BIN file of the Play Disc and mount it in DOSBox by using IMGMOUNT and as mentioned above, make sure the animation_drive value in SYSTEM.INI (located where Redguard is installed) is correct.

I don't really think there's much you can do, the iPad CPU is pretty slow for a late DOS game from 1997.

Yeah, the Amiga version was better in this regard, but then again, it was released quite some time after the DOS original.

For me it kinda has. Thanks to DOSBox it now been maybe half a decade since I last touched my DOS computers. There are a few games that doesn't really run quite well in DOSBox though, like Fade to Black and Redguard. Both games suffer from inverted audio (left/right played wrongly) and Redguard got …

The framerate drops are normal and happens on a Pentium 133MHz computer running DOS too, in the larger taverns and so on.

Discworld Noir is another game that refuse to work on NT Windowses, it only works on 9x, because of DRM. Very annoying. Hope ResidualVM will support the game at some point in the future.

I have 3 Amiga computers (A1000, A500 and A1200). As far as I know, they all work, but it's been some time since I used any of them. The A1200 was actually my main computer until summer 1999 when I got myself an 450Mhz PC, so I used it a lot for 7 years. Quite a long time for a computer, even if I …

If you gonna make easy click & play installations, then I suggest you put the game folder inside the DOSBox folder. Like this. C:\DOSBox C:\DOSBox\MountedC C:\DOSBox\MountedC\Frontier And then have a dosbox.conf file inside C:\DOSBox with the lines [autoexec] # Lines in this section will be run at …

Yeah Realtek HD audio ALC888 is excellent from what i've heard. Aye, the integrated stuff is good enough to use for most things, especially something like DOSBox that only use stereo sound.

That error message is rather common when the user mounted the CD-ROM wrongly, but since you say you mounted everything correctly that can't be it so don't bother to double-check that.

Second question, does DOSBox use much floating-point arithmetic? There are two Linux builds for the RasPi, one that's complete but only has software floating-point support, and one that's incomplete but has hardware floating-point support. That depends if the game you try to run use it or not ( …
