Hi people, Just gota say, I have never used Dosbox before today and all I can say is....WOW. Great Stuff! Keep it up!

Ok, Well, I am posting because I have a problem with Gods - Bitmap Brothers.
All is ok, apart from screen flickering, Its most apparent at the title screen. Especialy the large gods title at the top of the menu. It also flickers in the game, all parts and levels. Here is my spec....

AMD Athlon +1800
1gig RAM
GeForce 2 64mb
Soundblaster Audigy
Windows XP Pro - SP2
DosBox 0.63 (Still flickers no matter what render method or other adjusted settings e.g cycles, DBL Buffering, Resolusion, Ect)

Gods Version 1.0

I have updated my GeForce drivers and also downloaded and installed the latest version of DirectX. I have no idea what a SDL is, So, It might be that? What is it and where can I find it for my graphics card?

Any help would be great!, This game really gets me off! 😁

Grab a CVS version, works great here! (cycles around 3000-4500)
