i just started DosBox for the first time today
it looks so cool, finaly a program that can run The Horde for me :p
but i have a question:

The Horde finaly works,after disabling that gus thing, but it runs kinda slow... unplayable slow...
what can i do about it? i mean, if it can run on a pc from 1993 with a normal speed, it should also work here :p

here is my config file:

1[sdl]
2# fullscreen -- Start dosbox directly in fullscreen.
3# fulldouble -- Use double buffering in fullscreen.
4# fullfixed -- Don't resize the screen when in fullscreen.
5# fullwidth/height -- What resolution to use for fullscreen, use together with fullfixed.
6# output -- What to use for output: surface,overlay,opengl,openglnb.
7# hwscale -- Extra scaling of window if the output device supports hardware scaling.
8# autolock -- Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen.
9# sensitiviy -- Mouse sensitivity.
10# waitonerror -- Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error.

…Show last 98 lines

61# blocksize -- Mixer block size, larger blocks might help sound stuttering
62#              but sound will also be more lagged.
