Don't use Ctrl+F12, press & hold Alt+F12 instead. As soon as you stop pressing Alt+F12, the game will return to normal speed. That's Dosbox's Warp Mode, and should do exactly what you're looking for.
Re: Windows 98 on Dosbox with hardware acceleration, where to begin?

Check out this guide. If you need 3dfx emulation, use ykhwong's build. It's highly experimental, so expect it to be a bit buggy here and there. But overall, it runs Win9x quite nicely.
Re: Albion Won't Run
Posted on 2016-03-17, 15:57
Are you using different Dosbox ports? Because some are more compatible than others. And have you tried to use your friend's dosbox.conf file? Anyway, I've tried the Albion demo in Magic Dosbox with all goodies enabled, including Fluidsynth, and it's working like a charm. Only issue is a bug in …
Re: Wing Commander 3 MIDI slows down with more CPU Cycles
Posted on 2016-03-16, 20:22
Yes, that's nornal behaviour. If you set cycles too high, Soundblaster/Adlib sound will start to skip, while Midi will produce sort of a rubberband effect. Why don't you just set cycles=max?
Re: DBGL Indy Fate of Atlantis No Soundfont loading

Yep, MT32 sounds strange when it's played through GM midi and vice versa. The sound banks are different, so you may experience anything from wrong instruments to weird noises playing. Personally, I like GM midi with SGM V2.01 soundfont better than MT32, so I prefer it whenever there's a General Midi …

hm. okay but if i choose fluidsynth in scummvm and load up soundfont SGM V2.01 for example indy sounds much, much better than using mt32. is using a soundfont via fluidsynth no midi? It's a matter of taste. I use SGM V2.01 whenever it's possible, but as a rule of thumb, MT32 music tends to sound a …

Indy 4 doesn't support General Midi, use MT32 instead.
Re: Dosbox Daum: Fluidsynth sounds like AM Radio
Posted on 2016-01-18, 09:57
Set your mixer rate to 44100 or 48000. 22050 sounds really bad when it comes to midi, both MT32 and Fluidsynth. And there is also a problem with Fluidsynth's gain settings in ykhwong's build. The default gain he uses is 0.6, and that's too high for most games and/or soundfonts. The amount of …

Are you using an official version? This sounds like a bad/write-protected abandonware download... 😉
Re: 3dfx performance
Posted on 2015-10-01, 13:50
Oh man, I finally figured it out... I was using output=ddraw and direct3d (both are incredibly slow in Daum), because opengl didn't work. But as it turns out, I had windowresolution set to custom size (1280x960), which breaks Glide along with opengl. Now, with windowresolution=original and output= …
Re: 3dfx performance
Posted on 2015-09-29, 09:56
This is so weird... I've tried Dosbox-G, and it works - great performance (which is good news :happy: ). But the Daum builds seem to be fundamentally flawed. Even if I copy the Daum dosbox.exe into the Dosbox-G directory, so it's using the same files, it's still terribly slow. Damn, I'd really like …
Re: 3dfx performance

These days you haveby default the built in voodoo emulation in daum builds... And that is costly. Thanks for the info. That certainly explains the issues I'm having. :wink: But it's a shame, really, that I get only 10% performance with the latest 2015 build compared to a build from 2006, which was …
3dfx performance
Posted on 2015-09-28, 14:40
Hey all, I'm trying to run Tomb Raider in 3dfx/Glide mode, but performance is abysmal. I remember that I played Tomb Raider some years ago at high cycle rates, and in an old thread from 2006 , Great Hierophant says that "Tomb Raider is fluid at 25,000 cycles when in software mode it was choppy …

@Dominus: I know, but I thought it wouldn't hurt to ask. 😉 @Jorpho: thanks a lot, that was more information than I had hoped for! I was thinking of floppy images, too. Guess I'll do that. Cheers!
Multiple hard drives in Windows 95
Posted on 2015-09-08, 11:51
Hey folks, does anybody know how to install more than two hard drives in Windows 95? Is it even possible? I have one 512 MB image containing the OS, a 2 GB image on which I store games and ISO files (90% full), and I want to use an additional small 32 MB image - a comparatively small file that I can …
Re: Strike Commander (GOG) slowdowns at main menu

Depending on your hardware and settings, cycles are probably set too high. Have you tried cyles=max instead of a fixed value?

Open the app page (Menu - "My Apps" - Dosbox Turbo) in the Play Store app on your phone. There's an Email address in the "Developer" section, above "Users who installed this also installed..."
Re: Does DosBox Turbo support MMX OR SSE?
Posted on 2013-03-11, 12:45
It should support everything that DOSBox 0.74 does, except the features removed due to limitations of the Android OS (like General MIDI support). Best to ask the DTurbo dev, though, as this port isn't officially supported here.

Yep, didn't work either. I've also tried "auto 50000 100% limit 50000". Funny I've never really noticed that before... but then again, I used to run DOSBox mostly on a more powerful desktop pc in the past. 🙄
