First learn how to use your network and get rid of that Hamachi.

You know that one thousand dollars is written as "1000", not "100"?
😅

The problem with this game is its awkward programming: It only sends a character when it receives one. Now, if you have a few milliseconds internet lag, you can calculate how much data transfer is left.

The above is for nullmodem mode; I haven't managed to get modem mode to work yet to see if it behaves better.

Even if it would work with the netwerk without hamachi (i agree its better without hamachi) it probably wont work, because, hal 9000, you can do it but its still lagg at your pc too isnt it ? Reason why i wanna pay is because im hopeless and desperate and really cant find any solution. Its also a real challenge for the experts here.

How can i do that hal , calculate data transfer?

No but it's a challenge for you network's responsiveness.

Oh thought i really had to calculate it 🤣, but yeah you're right there isnt much left i guess. Well maybe the internet laggs indeed and then gives the lagg in game i dont know, idont know people who can help me so thats why i ask you guys on dosbox forum to help me 😐 I just cant believe its impossible !

Solutions:

1: Recode the game. - Requires source code.
2. Make a port of the game - Requires source code.

3. Host the game on a server and have people connect to it (Onlive/Gaikai,etc) - Requires publisher rights, convincing online services to go for it. - Having the game on the same server there would be no lag between DOSBox's.

4. Host the game yourself using RDP/VNC. Have users connect to it. - Having the game on the same servers there would be no lag between DOSBox's.

Problem with 3/4 is they would only work well for games that do not update the screen very often and games that don't required fast keyboard/mouse.

I'll try option 3 first. Any hints to convince them ? Thanks .

The modem mode indeed works better.

They told me they'll let me know when jurassic war is on their site IF its gonna happen. Gaikai told me that they wanted good oldies also, i hope they will do it ^^ ...

what'd you mean? Do you know how to play it fast ?

The modem emulation needs some fixing. With that it was playable across LAN at least.

You fixed it ? What d you do , do you think it will be fast when i play it with my bro, or only against yourself ? Like dosbox now ? Plz lemme know 🤐

What needs fixing is DOSBox itself.

As I said, I only tried it on LAN, not on internet, so maybe you'll have to invite your brother to play.

It was not as fast as 'fastest' in single player but much better than with nullmodem. There were occasional slowdowns, higher cycles might have helped. It might be possible to make it work even better but I don't intend to spend that much time on the serial port stuff right now.

Allright but i want to play at my home, and want him to play it from his home. Sorry for the misunderstanding

Another question: when you play it on LAN , are you getting any errors AFTER lets say 15-20 minutes ?

You can try yourself now. Get a CVS build and connect through modem.

serial1=modem

and as phone number in the game use the IP address of the other side which is set to 'receive'.

anybody got the 100 bucks ? 😁

Sure, along with the free iPod, the free PSP and the free LCD TV. Oh, and free Sex, too.
