Just for curiosity.
I've been trying to make AITD (4 floppies, Italian) run as smooth as possible with OpenGL and full music & sound and I succeeded in the end
but
in the meantime I was getting crazy because I couldn't get a non-skippy speed and music working at the same time.
In addition, the game has the feature of having the character running if you double tap the up arrow key. Feature that was very hard for me to use and that, being the game a survival-horror, can have a crucial relevance.
Everytime I set cycles to max the game run smooth but I could get no music.
Everytime I could get the music working the game was skippy.
Then I began playing with cycles and the result is that the game runs smoothly with full music and sound and the "run" feature working keeping the cycles at 10000.
Why?
