Hi there,

I downloaded DosBox onto my SuSe 9.1 so that I could play X-Com: UFO Defense once again... 😉 the game works perfectly, except for the fact that it is too slow.
I tried increasing cycles and frameskips - nothing. It did get faster in the sense that soldiers and aliens move faster, but explosions, deaths, the geoscope, scrolling in the battlefield are all still way too slow. 🙁

I thougth I might try with a lighter game, but even Defender of the Crown is slow (with 36000 cycles/sec and frame skip at 5!) 😲 .

Hm , any idea, out there? It worked better with mem=32, besides crashing before every battle (indeed, it does not seem to handle anything above 16mb, and the original game played with 2mb, so...).

Could it be that there is a way of making the emulator handle larger quantities of ram, or could it have anything to do with the the monitor or ... ?

Thanks for the help,

Zkyhavon 😵
