Really there's a HUGE performance diference between AGP and PCIXpress models? If it's the case, probably I'll think better and make a bigger upgrade in my system. -- Micael Not yet. Wait until the video card companies stop putting their latest tech into AGP cards and then you'll see a big …

Almost 100% on a K63-400, using whatever cycles (yes even 1), unless I use frameskip which reduces the processor usage significantly.

I'm with Snover on this one (as well as any sane individual should be...) but perhaps we should create a new topic for this?

Re: How can I get access to post in "DOSBox Guides"?

Post 'em in DosBox General for now. We can always move 'em later....plus it gives plenty of time for input on things missing from the guides.

Yeah, I'll pore over yours and write a complete guide or you can if you want. Your guide doesn't mention mounting the NOCD directory as a CD so that the dropship screens pop up.

Create an autoexec.bat and config.sys file and stick them into a mounted C:\.

I'll have to look at TV again but I believe when you switch to "pentium" it just switches to higher VESA modes.
Re: running Windows 9x/ME

No. It loaded on top of DOS but it's not "Dos-based". 9x once booted, to put it simply basically becomes an OS, perhaps not fully but enough to make it extremly complicated when emulating...something beyond the scope of this project.

The "pentium core"? As far as I know all "pentium" games worked on my 486DX4/100 back in the day. The Pentium had more cache and a wider bus and of course MMX, which of course doesn't matter for DosBox....it is possible that some games may require MMX tho.

Well, the GUI menu system uses ddraw IIRC, while the game (the missions) actually use the 3D portion. That's most likely why it doesn't work. I don't have any experience with the PowerVR edition or if you can use other API's for the mission portion.
