I have recently been playing Alone in the Dark 1 using Dosbox and have had no luck getting my character to run. The manual says to make the character walk press the up arrow and to run briefly let up on the up arrown while walking and quickly press the up arrow to run. I have had no luck with this approach. Does anyone have any suggestions or advice?

Yep! I was setting up the Alon in the Dark games and had this issue! Had them at "MAX" cycles and could never run. Set them to 20,000 and everything is perfect! Anything after 30,000 you have to double tap way too fast and is not feasible.
Will remember this for games that require timed inputs like these.
