Q. WHY WON'T THE GAME RUN IN PURE DOS?
A. Because it does not. You must run it under WIN9x using the shortcut created by the setup
program.
Actually it runs in DOS but it takes a lot of time for loading at some places.
You can speed up that by:
ykhwong build was the fastest for me,
core=dynamic
cycles=max 105%
memsize=16 (you can test 8 with "configure" in menu, but the game will need 16)
twice more memory means twice more waiting 😉
8mb memory takes 10 seconds waiting on my phenom 2000mhz
Real computers behave exactly same way with this game (for example Athlon 1GHz - 16MB - 10seconds waiting)
Of course everything loads immediately in dosbox with win9x installed.
Btw I wonder what is the difference between windows and dos memory handling that makes this game work ok in windows and not in dos?
