I'm using throttle and msred to slow down the sytem. Using these settings:
msred w 194 10628
msred w 19A 12
throttle 4 -c
I have to use jemmex in my config.sys in order to use msred and launch descent without errors while using setupds and dsdma.
Descent will run very well with these settings under dos; however, only without FM sound. Sound effects will work fine with dsdma and the speed will remain fluid, but once I enable FM synth the game speed becomes sluggish, and the music playback is slowed down. So I used different combinations of msred and throttle to speed it up a bit but could not find an ideal setting. I've adjusted the throttle settings to be less harsh (1, 2, and 3) as well as msred (194 10728 and 194 10828, as well as 19A 14) and that will make the game speed inconsistent in addition to being too fast. The FM music plays at the incorrect speed no matter what combinations I try, always too slow. Is there a way to make it work with this setup?
