Hello,
I've been trying to get Windows 98 to work using DOSBox-X on a Raspberry Pi 4B - I've been amazed at the results so far! Previously there were so many errors on my system that it was unworkable but I now get a properly booted system. Hooray!

My main problem now is that the display appears very slowly. Opening My Computer takes a long time, and the window itself appears almost line-by-line. I've tried messing about with my .conf file (different outputs, etc) but nothing is changing - and changing the screen resolution in the conf doesn't appear to be changing the size of the screen either. My conf file:

[sdl]
autolock=true
fullscreen=true
fullresolution=1280x720

[dosbox]
title=Windows 95
memsize=512

[video]
vmemsize=8
vesa modelist width limit=0
vesa modelist height limit=0

[dos]
# Set 'ver=7.1' if using Win95 OSR2 (95B) or later
ver=7.1
hard drive data rate limit=0

[cpu]
cputype=pentium_mmx
core=dynamic_x86

[sblaster]
sbtype=sb16vibra

[fdc, primary]
int13fakev86io=true

[ide, primary]
int13fakeio=true
int13fakev86io=true

[ide, secondary]
int13fakeio=true
int13fakev86io=true
cd-rom insertion delay=4000

[render]
aspect = true

[autoexec]

Any pointers would be gratefully received - hopefully I've posted in the right place on the forum.
