Works in my demovga patch with ibmtiming=false...
Some software likes ibmtiming=true more and others false. Don't know why.

does not work for me.
i applied your patch against dosbox 0.70 source and compiled it on x86 linux. set machine=demovga and ibmtiming=false but scrolling problem in mm2 remains. ibmtiming=true doesn't help either. 🙁

I just tested this myself and I don't have this problem at all in 0.70 CVS. In fact I didn't have this problem in earlier versions either. The only thing that I could notice was that the menu tended to "jump" a bit in animations.

Tested in standard DOSBox 0.65, 0.70 and in 0.71rc1.

The menu flickering only happens till 0.65 version. From 0.70 onward no longer occurs.

The "shaking" ingame happens when moving in the X axis (left/right) or diagonally.

It's completely eliminated if choosing core/cyles=auto in 0.70 or 0.71rc1!

Still, if choosing core=dynamic and a fixed number of cycles (eg: 40000), it does happen, but only very slightly.

Has to do with the way you set the core/cycles speed, but works flawlessly with core/cycles=auto in my case.

here's a capture of mm2 se in dosbox 0.70 with cycles and core set to auto:

Nice video! Exactly the issue I was talking about...

Still, you do know there are plenty of configuration settings, right? First, my hardware probably isn't the same as yours and my dosbox.conf file should have some differences as well.

I've attached it bellow, it's the same conf file I'm using in my standard DOSBox 0.70. Let me know if it it works for ya...!

p.s. - WinXP Pro SP2, AMD Athlon +3200, 1GB RAM, X800 PRO 256MB VRAM,

As everyone knows that a picture is worth more than a thousand words, here's a whole video showing off how great DOSBox 0.70 is at running games, especially Micro Machines 2...!

unfortunately it does not.

i'm using ubuntu 7.04 on athlon 2400+, 2gb ram, radeon 9700

Try with Vasyls SVGA patch - ET4000 mode fixes it too (for me).

Turn off, Gravis Ultrasound Emulation, seem to solve the issue...

This appears to be the only solution for the issue, for me.
