The biggest problem I've been having with DOSBox (I'm using it to run TES: Arena) is the inconsistency with speeds. If one plays a game of today (not talking about DOSBOX) on their computer and they raise the settings to high it may run smooth in smaller enclosed areas and slowdown in larger, more crowded areas. However, if you adjust your settings so that the game runs smooth in the more stressed, crowded areas of a game, it will run smooth EVERYWHERE. This, however, is not the case with DOSBOX. If I adjust my CPU cycles to run Arena smoothly in the heart of a town, where the game is the most stressed, it will run TOO fast when I move to the city walls (away from buildings). The same occurs if I were to decrease the detail bar. It shouldn't be this way! Is there no way that I can get a smooth, steady speed throughout the game using DOSBOX? As I'm sure you were able to on a 486-DX2?
