Okay, I got Win3.1 up and running in Dosbox with sb16 drivers installed for it, and it plays the way it was meant to be played (using Creative MIDI), but with stuttering. Is there a way to fix the stuttering?

How can I play a simple midi file in Dosbox and get the nice adlib sound??? I can't find a single application that runs in DOS that lets me play midi files in adlib mode vs the crappy default mode my soundcard has (crappy because the midi file is made for adlib). Any help would be appreciated, I'm …

Wow, the cycle change did it! I didn't realize I could handle that many cycles... There's much less lag now.

I was using 2500 cycles, and even 5000 cycles, but there seemed to be no difference between the two. I still got the odd delay of about 5 seconds after upping the cycles. It is a "protected mode" game, so that may be part of it.

Chronomaster works beautifully, the only bit that is annoying though is that there is a 3-5 second delay whenever you tell the guy to walk, pick up something, etc. Sometimes there is no delay (ie when solving a puzzle), but when it involves 3d movement of some sort or even the movement of the …

I updated sdl.dll to the most recent version, that helped a lot. 😀 I think I still had trouble on occasion, but when the output is OpenGL I get no sound problems. Now to get KQ5 working... 😉 Thanks! I was having trouble with the same problem and those suggestions worked great. 😀

Heh. I'm not running the program on the Pentium 133, but I use it as my last resort for really stubborn games. The computer I have Dosbox on is 1.4 GHz so I don't think it's a speed problem per se (and I have changed around the framerate to no avail).

Now me, I just gave in and bought a Pentium 133. Not bad, $40, though even that is a bit much for some people I suppose. At least everything's in great condition! I still love DosBox though, I soon as I figure out how to get the sound perfect (still somewhat jittery for me) it will be da bomb.
