Hi there, this is the 2nd question i ask on this forum.
first of all, i able to speed up most games (by pressing alt + F12) and it work, but still not really smooth (i mean at least in normal way)
and my big problem is the CPU usage, which are always in 100%

I were able to run Day of The tentacle in 3500 cpu cycles, quiet fair fps,
however still 100% cpu usage
my current setup is.

Athlon 2500+ @ overclocked to 2.2 Ghz (athlon 3200+)
Abit NF-7s ver.2.0
1gb Pc.3200 Corsair XMS LL
Windows XP profesional

I done some frame skipping but it didn't work... still LAGGY
i wish i able to play Ultima 8 and Transport Tycoon deluxe in suitable fps.
I do close some applications (msn/bt still open though...)
but... yeah you know...

help me plz, am i not in correct configuration?

OK, when you run DOSBOX with 1000 cycles: do you have still 100% usage of processor? If yes then it is a bug, if not then 12000 cycles are just too much for your computer!
If the first is true, then try to use different SDL.DLL (search on internet).
Of course still keep to the rule: non USB joysticks are BAD ...
