Hi, I have a problem with the floppy version of the X-Wing game. Whenever I press the 'T' key to Target a ship, the game freezes for a few seconds and then resumes. This only happens with the "T" key and often at the beginning of each Mission. After a couple of times pressing "T" at the beginning of …

I am embarrased to tell you that I solved the digital speech problem in the stupidest and most ignorant possible way. The volume was not high enough! I had checked both the master volume on the monitor and the internal volume of the PC and they both was at its highest level. But I didn't know that …

I tried your suggestions and they all don't work. I even tried reinstalling DOSBox. I reset the Machine Speed setting back to "slow" from "fast" and still couldn't get digitized speech back. Another option is to reinstall X-Wing from scratch. But I would lose all game information. I got up to Tour …

No, the default settings are the same. Here is my DOSBox configuration file that I am using. Is thre anything out of place? Please help me, thanks. [sdl] fullscreen=true fulldouble=false fullfixed=false fullresolution=1028x1024 output=surface hwscale=1.00 autolock=true sensitivity=100 waitonerror= …

I am sorry to bother you all again. I have a new problem. I switched the Machine Speed setting on the X-Wing Installation program from "slow" to "fast". The installation program still recommended that the machine be slow, so I increased the cycles up to 7000 so that it would recommend that it be …

Thanks. I understand that increasing the cycles does not decrease the performance of the game. BTW, by "performance" I mean does the game have great graphics, sound, music, play control, speed, and fluidity of play. In other words, a total play experience given the capabilities it was designed for …

Thanks for ansering most of my questions., You said that the frameskip does not decrease performance. The DosBox README file says that increasing the frameskip will decrease the fluidity of the video. It states that this is a compromise, you gain speed but lose video fluidity. So, it does decrease …

I know about cycles. But does increasing cycles decrease game performance? I know that increasing the frameskip DOES decreases performance because DosBox skips over some frames, making the game a bit choppy and less smooth. What about cycles? I want the game to run as perfectly as if it was run in …

If I increae the cycles manually, won't it decrease game performance? I want the game to run as it is back then and not have to compromise. I take it that I should not go ahead and change machine speed?

Hi, I am using DosBox 0.63. I have a 2.60 GHz computer. While re-installing the floppy-version of the X-Wing game, the installation program says that my machine speed is slow. It recommends the speed be medium. The X-Wing Installation Program has a click-on option to Set Machine Speed. When I …

I tried the aspect=true you suggested. It gives me a thin bar at the bottom of the screen but does not improve the proportions of the game. What does the fulldouble=true do? What happens if I use double buffering? Please let me know, thanks.

In my case, when it is full screen without the bars, the game is elongated verticially. For instance, in the X-Wing game, the shield distribution instrument of the cockpit should be circular but it is an ellipse with a vertical major axis. Other noticable visuals include: the text is elongated …

Hi, I checked with the monitor. I have a Norcent LM730 lcd monitor with 1280x1024 @60 Hz resolution. According to the monitor manual, I could set DOS-mode resolution to either 720x400@70Hz or 640x400 @70Hz. I switched to the 640 one because it was originally 720 and got the bars in DOSBox 0.63 but …

Hi, with DOSBox 0.61 I had a fullscreen with bars on top and bottom. with DosBox 0.62 I had a fullscreen without the bars, I have a problem with this. The screen seems stretched a bit. For example, the legs of people in the game are elongated a bit. Can it be fixed? If it can't be fixed, then I …

hi, I did not know that VDMSound exists. I will install it. I thought DOSBox is the only free DOS emulator. Is VDMSound superior, and can it run with other DOS games? Thanks for the tip.

Hi, I have a problem with the floppy version of the DOS X-Wing game. Sometimes during play, the game freezes and I have to press ALT-CTRL-DEL to get out of DOSBox with the game information lost. This happes often, about 40% of the time. Everytime it freezes, the message in the DOS Box window says …
