Problem:
So i've been trying to run my old Flashback in DosBox 0.74 and the game speed behaves VERY strangely. It's either (a little) too slow or too fast. Regardless of cycles i set. After an hour of testing i've come to the point where i found a magic number, at least for my system.
At (and up to) "cycles=fixed 6460" the game runs a bit too slow.
At (and over) "cycles=fixed 6461" the game runs too fast.
Choosing higher or lower cycles results in very little change in game speed (if any). I also tried numerous core/cputype combinations all with the same result.
My Specs:
OS: Windows 7 Pro x64
CPU: Core i7 2600k @ 4Ghz
MoBo: Asrock P67 Pro3
RAM: 16GB DDR3
GPU: Nvidia GTX580
DosBox Version: 0.74
Question:
Has anyone else encountered this behaviour and maybe found a fix?
I've attached my dosbox.conf for further reference.
