Is there a solution to bad tearing in Zool2 MSDOS in a window?
Already tried double buffer, Direct3D etc.

Please test with lock stock DOSBox or keep your questions in the Dosbox-x thread. Dosbox-x is already so far forked from lock stock Dosbox, that it makes no sense to ask in the general forum.

Good, then that's sorted out 😉
Can you provide a picture of how it is supposed to look. I don't see the tearing

Zool2 is 1MB, and is easy to test: it always had this bad tearing when running at decent speed (cycles 12000, or it will play in slow-motion) on modern displays...
