85 degrees farenheit translates to a very healthy 29C.

Sorry but if an app was written for dos and runs in dos is an dos app regardless if it used any extenders. That's like saying a win95 game can't be call a windows app if it uses glide API more or less. for me, DOS app - its 16 real mode. its all. all other - non dos apps. else we should call dos …

I don't think the problem lies in the 32-bit extender, all though I never see not 32-bit dos extender game that has a speed problem. But plenty of 16bit games are fine on newer systems. i talk not that here is some relations bw 32 extenders and speed problem... i say, that some dos apps, written in …

I think, that P2 is too fast for REAL DOS GAMES... real mean pure 16 bit apps, NOT requires protected mode 16/32 bit extenders.
