Hi

Death rally works ok (except loading screen are really slow), but the scrolling is not smooth. Ive set cpu cycles properly (= a lot, dynamic core, cpu is bellow 100% all the time).
I tried vsync but it doesnt help.

On xp sp2, amd64 3200.

thanks

mmm
It seems to me its a bit better but still, its far less smooth then in vdm sound.
(i went up to 50.000 cycles and cpu usage was still under 100%, and scrolling was still not smooth).

Thanks anyway

Of course it is slower than vdmsound, what did you expect? (Search the forum for "emulator" or "speed", this has been explained countless times)

I just tried again in VDMsound, and its indeed very smooth.
I would like to try again with dosbox, with vsync enabled (even though other games like "supercars" have no scrolling problem, so musnt be that).
Dos games refresh rate was 70khz right ?

To be more precise about stutterings, its like there are sudden accelerations, especially when the car goes up or down (its most okay when left or right, on the track), so i would say it indeed sounds like a vsync thing (but then, again, why does Supercars work flawlessly ?)
