Hi,

I'm french user of dosbox and i would use dosbox with an old powerful mathematical software.

But i need the all cpu power how can i do this ?
my calculating with cpurate=30000 take 30 Minutes in dosbow instead of 5 minutes with cmd.exe.

But my software are not always compatible with cmd.exe.

Please help me.

Thanks.

try core=dynamic.

But as it's an emulator there is always a speedloss. I'm supprised it's only a factor 6

this is my configuration.

core=dynamic
cycles=30000
cycleup=1000
cycledown=1000

if i try replace 30000 by 50000 the software is more slowly.

try
core=dynamic
cycles=auto
frameskip=9
nosound=true

and be sure to use DOSBox 0.65

> when i use cycles=auto my software wouldn't start calculation but run correctly

So how does it run correctly if it doesn't even start???

And what pc (cpu, memory etc.) do you have?

I try :
Dynamic with
6000 : too long
15000 : faster but too long
25000 : the best value but too long
40000 : slower
100000 : slower
500000 : slower
1000000 : slower
auto : soft start but calculating process cannot run

Normal :
25000 : soft start but calculating process cannot run
Auto : Calculating erreur with sqrt
