Fellas,

I have recently ugraded my main PC to the following:

- Intel Core i5 750 (Lynnfield)
- Asus P7P55D LE
- 4GB of RAM - DDR3 PC10700 dual channel branded Corsair
- ATI Radeon HD5650 512MB GDDR5
- Windows 7 Ultimate x64

What I have noticed is that, for example, on Dangerous Dave I just can't find the right setup for Dosbox. The game stars ok, then when I press jump Dave does it in sloooooooow motion, and then the keys gets confused. If I press jump it shoots, and vice-versa. Is this processor too much for Dosbox? Is there anything special I have to do so I can play games without those huge glitches? Hope to hearing from you guys soon. Thank you very much.

Wild guess: change output=surface to output=opengl in the config file.

Oh well, at least in Dangerous Dave it's a lot better now. I'll try with more games and I'll let you know. Thanks a lot ripa.
