Sorry, in the last 2 years sometimes I've really tried to understand what on earth I need to run that in glide, but I've never got past that 'pci bus not found' message... I've searched on the forum and in google, no success :s-face: Maybe my fault, yes, but I'm over a few hours of work on this …

Blood is absolutely playable on an (overclocked) E6420 @ 3.33GHz in 800x600 while it could lag on my previous rig (athlon xp @ 2.22GHz) even in 320x200. That's what I call nice improvement...! Tomb Raider in 640x480 could really use some more strength though... or maybe a better JIT compiler ;) I've …

Maybe, but I don't think it's very probable. Dosbox, I think, does not stress the graphic card too heavily. Even my radeon 9600 pro could output anything under DosBox with any shaders that come with it in the resolutions I used it (1024*768, 1280*960), and my geforce 8600 gt can do 1920*1200 without …

Or even 32 😀 I use dosbox with memsize=32 and Blood runs perfectly.

This is the only program in which you experience such slowdowns? Try to have a look at the hardware temperatures as well, sounds like thermal throttling 😅

Maybe 11khz is OK for games, so it's may be the way for versus to go... but if you want to watch (and listen) demos, you really should set a higher frequency for mixer and GUS, because those programs usually play MOD music with samples of various pitch and quality, and they definitely sound better …

I configure all of them to 48khz. It originates in the fact that otherwise my old live! did some resampling on them. Now I have an x-fi but I did not feel like changing them, I don't think I would gain anything (neither speed nor quality-wise) if I set them to 44.1 or 96khz 😁

Interesting, I played Quake on an AMD 5x86, which is, essentially, a 486DX on steroids, so I really don't think it really needs Pentium instructons :surprised: I know three more DOS applications that need MMX: the first one is Impulse Tracker, which uses it in the drivers that have resonant …

I think it's the most correct thing DosBox can do to 320*200 or 640*400. With today's displays we could say that those are perfect 16:10 resolutions for wide LCDs, but back then those were 4:3 resolutions with non-square pixels (as 4:3 was the only common ratio among the PC displays) and many games/ …

Yesterday I tried to play with this game and I found that it simply does not start in the latest CVS (0.70.2007.04.10) by Ykhwong. It does not give any error messages and it does not kill DosBox, just exits to DosBox CLI immediately. But to my surprise it could run under 0.61 (with sound and music …

Comanche 3 is perfect too. The AMD 64 3400+ is nothing compared to a Conroe E6600 though - it's easily 3 times faster for Dosbox - *and* has two cores. When I read it more than a month ago it sounded like an overstatement, but I could not find any Dosbox benchmarks so I decided to do some myself. …
