Greetings! Finally got Destruction Derby 2 running on my Macbook, with help from threads here!

It's just running too fast, between 1.5 to 2 times. I'm using DOSBox, and I've messed with the cpu settings, and tried frameskip. The problem is that it SEEMS that the game uses clock timing, instead of CPU cycles. Any frameskip or CPU cycle limit decreases framerate, but doesn't affect the game timing. So it still runs fast, but choppy 😜 And when I change the core or cputype settings, the game either runs super slow (low frame rate and timing), or is unaffected. Anyone know if there's any hope, like a feature in DOSBox that can scale the clock? Or something I don't know about?

Thanks!

Now, for anyone else trying to run DD2 on Mac, I'll post my steps, since I had to scrounge around a bit.
1) Get original CD, or download iso/image (~683.5 MB for me). Get DOSBox and DAEMON Tools (my mac wouldn't mount the img I downloaded)
2) Change DOSBox configuration file setting for cputype to pentium_slow (Just for install process, you can revert after) (And you'll have to dig around a bit for that config file, it's "(YourUserName)/Library/Preferences/DOSBox 0.74 Preferences"
3) Mount the image using DAEMON Tools. Mount 2 DOSBox drives, one for install dest, and one to the cd. For the cd, use "mount d /Volumes/DD2_PC -t cdrom -usecd 0 -label DD2_PC". I'm not sure why, but the source path doesn't actually matter.. I think the -usecd 0 combined with DAEMON Tools mounting makes the CD verification pass
4) Run the DOS/INSTALL.BAT from the mounted cd drive in dosbox, and follow normal install procedure.
5) At this point you could close DOSBox, and set cputype back to auto in the config file, then of course relaunch
6) Change to your installed path, and run SETSOUND.EXE. Choose to automatically detect sound settings.
7) Finally… run dd2hires

I would love to have a better way to mount the image so that DD2 could still verify it. Hate having to mount with DAEMON Tools, especially since I only have a 20 day trial right now.

Notes, and Windows:
There are sites that let you download a ~8 MB version of the game, but it only runs in Windows (when you try in DOSBox it says "this is a windows 95 executable") So I guess that's a windows rip of the game. IF you can find a DOS rip version of the game like that, then that should work in DOSBox right?

If you get the windows rip version, you should be able to run on a Windows machine, but you might have to turn down hardware acceleration in Display Properties -> Settings -> Advanced -> Troubleshoot. Turn it down to "Disable all DirectDraw and Direct3D acceleration…". I've only tried it on XP.
