This game works with both 0.58 and 0.60 normally,
but with current CVS it's much slower (even unplayable).
What could have gone wrong?

update: I tried the game with various versions of the CVS and it seems that problem is with the new renderer (files updated between 8.11.2003 at 10:30 and 8.111 at 11:15).
I'll try to find out more.

update #2:
I've found it. current version contains this code in vga_draw.cpp (~ line 367):

/* Check for pixel doubling, master clock/2 */
if (vga.seq.clocking_mode & 0x8) {
clock/=2;
htotal*=2;
}

If I comment this:

//htotal*=2;

game works normally again. The change was introduced 8.11.2003.
Btw, game is EGA 320x200.
I don't know however if this breaks something else.

I've already mailed him about that and one other bug.
(Problem is that fps variable is wrong because of this:

fps=clock/(htotal*vtotal)

should be, in this case, fps=2*clock/(htotal*vtotal).
