It... only... happens... once... a... second ... and it sounds like Reactos is in dire need of a rewrite:)

Not quite; the trick is also checking ticksadded, which indicates a large cycle change when a game quickly pegs the cycles. ~250 is also needed lest lag starts creeping back in(more and it takes too long to raise the cycles again after a spike). I added a cap to minimum cycles. I ran into zero …

Funny thing is he could probably pick up an old mac for about the same price. The advantages of vintage hardware:)

Based on your pictures, that'd be triple: TFTD, Terror from the Deep, TFTD - Terror from the Deep.

You're not reading carefully; there's also a patch that fixes autocycling which gets rid of lag.

So... option 6 doesn't fix your problem?

Try option 6 to see if that remedies your problem.

The opposite was true about GUS prices; they were cheaper than Creative.

That's one thing I'd like to see that's never done, a response on why a patch isn't included. I guess I'll need to email them to ask what the sticking point(s) is/are to find out.

Feh, all my patches should be in CVS:) It's OK though, allows time for any bugs to surface. Why I also post patches here and not just up on sourceforge; feedback.

darkforces run on DOSBox. Though, on my AthlonXP@2GHz, the speed isn't optimal(slowdowns when firing).

Much of my prior optimizations havn't been added so I'll try to explain what's going on with the changes. get rid of memory accesses, in exchange do a shift get rid of jump of if (bool) var++ and similiar code, instead does var+=(bool) change switch statements <4 to if then (if then is faster than …

Talk about hard to find. It was an include if you got an earlier GUS. I prefered it to the sb version. Anyone still have theirs? I still have my GUS, but not the game(or any of my old GUS software for that matter).

I narrowed it down to an issue with rasterop, I think having to do with vga.latch.d, but I'm still scratching my head. Attached is graphicsopt4.diff, which skips everything but rasterop. Also added an optimization for the modes wd was interested in and others; old way would calc bank address on …

Alright, I started from scratch again, applying the diff 3 from here and am getting the corruption so I have to figure out where I introduced this bug.

I meant dosbox.conf:) I do see the lines with the attached build though.

Hmm, I'm not getting those dots or lines with cvs, opt patch, or prebuilt .65. What's your settings?
