Since the game has fairly major performance problems with the dosbox glide patch, and it uses dos4gw, i thought about using dos32a, but it appears to crash (either replacing the dos4gw file or rebinding dos32a to the rgfx.exe or glide2x.ovl files. However, i know dos32a has more settings than are apparent with its executable utilities messing with the exec. I wonder if someone managed to make it work?

I would use not dos32a, but wdosx, its much better. bind that instead of dos4gw/dos32a and see how it goes?

The game doesn't run exactly butter smooth in the video but it was recorded on a laptop. And without recording a video while playing the game runs a bit better.

Well, your laptop is probably >>> than mine, and i'm using kekko's emulation patch not a glide wrapper. Anyway, i found a older message on this forum that indicates dos32a is not compatible with the way glide2x.ovl is loaded. Gonna try wxdosx. edit: nope.
