First post, by marker0077
First off, I'd like to say that I am new to DOSBox & I find it very useful. I was getting ready to set up a secondary DOS OS on my PC just so I could play some of these games. So far, DOSBox has worked flawlessly for all of them except for 1... Syndicate Wars.
My first question is, does having a FAT32 partition help DOSBox any? I already set up a 10 gig FAT32 partition for setting up a 2ndary OS. I currently keep all of my DOS games there & run DOSBox from that. If there's no point in having this FAT32 partition, I'm going to ditch it.
My second question is, how do I speed up Syndicate Wars. I've tried reading through some of the posted sticky threads on this topic & they suggest I skip frams along with some other ideas, well skipping the frames made the problem even worse. I'd really like to get this thing going in windows because #1 it's a pain to reboot the computer everytime I want to play the game & #2 I have a dual action logitech controller that may or may not work in DOS.
I am also using the D-Fend DOSBox frontend utility & here's the tech specs on my PC...
AMD 64 Athlon, Platinum motherboard, 1024MB RAM, 240 SATA HD, nVidia GeForce 660 GT (128MB RAM).
Thanks for your help in advance.
