Is there any way to fix the screen flickering in Alpha Waves / Continuum? Frameskip is on 0, Double Buffering is on, and I tried every output mode. I'm using DOSBox 0.70. You can't really see it on the screenshot, and it happens no matter what you do or press.

Try my experimantal VGA build (in case you're on Windows):

Needed change in dosbox.conf:

[dosbox]
ibmtiming=false

1+1=10

Hello, have the same issue, I'm on Dosbox 0.74 and ibmtiming=false thing does nothing for me, screen still flicker (noticed it's mostly in lower half of the screen). Tried to download that vga build of hal's but link is dead.

The only thing that kinda work is when I put dosbox into Tandy mode, but then it runs waaaaay too fast. HALP!
