Well actually there is support for the tandy video mode, the common 320x200x16 anyway, although something still seems to be wrong with the colors at time. There is also some bios stuff missing for games to detect it actually being a tandy but with some games you can just force to tandy and at least …

dosbox doesn't like 24 bit display depth, don't think anyone does since it's shitslow.

Hehe it's more like an evil combination of C++ and a C and savestates should also be endian 32/64 bit compatible if you'd want them to be exchangable.

Nah dreamweb does something screwy with the vga registers which wasn't supported in 0.58 so the screen is not centered correctly.

Hmm seemed to run here as a driver, just selected it in midi mapper and dosbox ran with it. Although sound was somewhat stuttery.

Cycle accurate isn't possible anyway since each newer cpu has different cycle counts for instructions and there's also the triggering of other hardware like writing to vga memory which would make certain instructions take a lot longer. Or a trigger to start a soundblaster dma transfer, which would …

Well dosbox's cycles aren't the same as normal cpu's cycles, since normal cpu's can take different cycle counts for different operations, whereas dosbox takes only 1 for each operation. But since there are loads of different operations the cpu can do, one can take longer to emulate than the other. …

Well there are some problems with that since cycles take a big impact if you run a game that uses the mode-x features of the VGA. You can see that with DOOM 😀

Get some tool to force your refresh rates and either way we dont have control over it since SDL handles the videomode.
