Hello. Great job with Dos-Box
I have a prob with x-com tftd. It may looks easy to you but I donot know what to do cause I'm kinda new here. I run under dos-box the game, everything works ok. But my prob is that the game goes very fast. It is rather unplayable cause when I put 5sec time each 'time tick' is like 2 minutes and all other game features like rolling the earth is faster.
Is there anything I can do to set the speed back to normal?
Thnx for your time

Try some fixed cycle count, exact value depends on your system.
Maybe 10000, 5000 something like that.
Are other games working fine?

You could start by downloading DOSBox 0.65.

How did you mount the drives?
Try re-installing the game.
