Alright, I've got the game installed fine on dosbox 7.0. Sound runs well, game runs smooth.. problem is that it simply runs too fast. On the 5 second counter it runs about a minute per second, so it's running about 10 times too fast.

Now I'm not sure if I need a custom configure file or what, but if I do I still have no idea how to set it.. so.. any advice would be helpful.
I notice a lot of people with DosBox 6 point something say their version runs fine, so maybe if I just downgrade for that particular game, it might run smooth.. anyway, any advice would be appreciated.

The reason it's faster than 0.65 is because the default settings have changed. 0.65 was also capable of making Xcom run way too fast but you had to manually increase the amount of cycles for that. Cycles = how fast Dosbox will make games go.

With the new 0.70, Dosbox automatically uses near the maximum of cycles your computer can handle. The solution is simple: before you start the game, type:

cycles 15000
