EXP: The Excellent Potato - PC-DOS (1996) works for me with proper speed. It is definitelly not too slow, actually if it was any faster it would be too fast. If you still have a problem with this game start a new tread about it posting your pc configuration and dosbox configuration.
For example it takes 10 seconds to walk from left to right city wall (at the bottom there are no obstacles). Same speed on real Pentium 166 MMX.
Thanks for replying.
Yes, it almost the same here, when not battling enemies.
However, when entering battle, the games slowing down (but pressing Alt-F12 makes it goes too fast).
my System:
Intel Core 2 Duo E7500 E7500 @ 2.93GHz
Wolfdale, Socket 775 LGA
Motherboard:
Intel G41 rev. A3
Intel 82801GB (ICH7/R) rev. A1
DDR3 - 2048 MBytes
Display & Sound onboard:
Intel(R) G41 Express Chipset
onboard Realtek HD Audio chip
OS:
Windows XP Professional SP2 (Build 2600) (x86)
DirectX 9.0c
i'm using DosBox 0.74 from main site.
as dosbox configuration, i use standard from dosbox -resetconf ,
with following addition on [autoexec] section:
@echo off
mount C "D:\GAMES\Exp"
c:
loadfix -32 exp.exe
exit
theres new fact i found about the slowdown:
under normal gameplay using above configuration, CPU Usage was about 38% to 45%
however on battle when slowdown happened, CPU Usages was strangely used only about 25% to 31%,
definetely resulted in slowed scouting animation & battle music.
after completed the battle / exp/item get screen gone, cpu usages return to 38%-45%.
probably something going on on my system that causing this.
