Two tips.

#1 Read the readme.

#2 Details, details! What are you trying to run, what's your system like, what have you tried doing to speed things up?

If you have some more recent machine ( > 2GHz) it should be safe to open the dosbox.conf file in your DOSBox directory, and set the emulated cycles to 15000 instead of 3000. It will speed things up. If you experience that the sound became choppy, set it lower (It means you tried to ask too much).

cheers dude

i've tried, duke3d,doom2,doom1,rise of the triads,heretic ,

and they all run slow ,, doom and duke run fine without sound tho

i got a athlon 2300+ with & 768mb of ram

Try changing core=normal to core=dynamic on your dosbox.conf also. Note that this will probably only work for Windows and Linux versions of DOSBox.

Those are all protected mode games (which in DosBox means slow), besides you shouldn't be running those games in DosBox anyway.

Duke3D: Use Jonof Duke3D Port

Doom1/2/heretic/hexen: Use Doomsday engine

Rise of the Triad: Use WinROTT.

Good point DosFreak. I totally agree.

ahh nice one,, hehe

havent tried any old games since i been usin xp ,, cheers 😁

oo doomsday is wkd..haha

nice one 😁

anything for blood and quake?

sorry for bein pan 😜,, jus gettin into me oldskool games again 😜

For Quake go here: Topic 10774

Sorry but tere's nothing for Blood. You can get the game working in Windows XP with some work but it will be inferior to playing it under DOS/98SE no matter hat you do.

where should I enter this?

beneath [autoexec]?

There should be a core= setting already in your dosbox.conf that you can change. If not then you should use the config command inside of DOSBox to generate a new dosbox.conf with a core= setting that you can change.

Before you ask....

config -writeconf dosbox.conf

This will create a new dosbox.conf file inside your DOSBox folder. It's a PLAIN TEXT file containing DOSBox configuration. You can edit it the way you like using a TEXT Editor (like Notepad) (after closing DOSBox, that is).
