This is a more a question about the game itself, not how the game works with DOSBox. Back in the days when I had a computer that could play DOS games without an emulator, I had one big annoyance with AITD. Running is a huge chore in that game. It should be as simple as pressing the walk button twice and holding it, but the chances of you actually running when you do that are quite low.
I played the game on Abandon Loader and encountered the same "problem." When I play it on DOSBox, the running actually works anytime I try it. I dont know much about the way computers run, but something tells me it has to do with the fact that you can change CPU Cycles on DOSBox. To me it seems odd that playing with your CPU Speed would affect how your keyboard works, but maybe it has something to do with how fast the game registers the command...
Anyway, does anyone else here play Alone in the Dark and have this same annoyance? And if so, do you know any kind of "trick" to make running more successful on Abandon Loader?
