Ok, developers of dosbox are making a great job. The compatibility with the games and the overall stability are increasing day by day. So what? Although the efforts of the authors and of the community, dosbox remains irrevocably slow, especially with newer dos programs with vesa, protected mode and …

the game is quite heavy, even on a 3ghz at full cpu cycles. It would be totally unplayable with "normal" core. at that point i would prefer slowdowns.

The game runs well, but if I press an arrow key too long (more than 1 sec) the game slows down until I release the key. this is a bit bothering in a flight simulator. It seems to be a kind of keyboard buffer overflow.... Apparently any dosbox version does it. I use dynamic core on an athlon xp and …

about cpu detection, I made those edit to cpu.cpp. replace functions CPU_SetFlags and CPU_CPUID... void CPU_SetFlags(Bitu word,Bitu mask) { mask=mask|FLAG_ID; // Preserve ID flag reg_flags=(reg_flags & ~mask)|(word & mask)|2; cpu.direction=1-((reg_flags & FLAG_DF) >> 9); } #define FPU_FLAG 0x0001 /* …

@SiyMan: how did you make windows run on dosbox? which configuration did ou use? I successfully installed windows but I had problems to make it run: it seems that dynamic core crashes it and there are also problems with video card setup. All I can get is an error message on start about video card …

last time I tried to compile with mingw-msys it took ALOT of time, and I have an athlon xp 2600+ and half gb ram. no I definitely don't like mingw. instead msvc is easy and fast(5 min max). Makes smaller builds and the speed of emulation is the same. I alwais gone perfectly with msvc, until that …

You're right Qbix, but I already submitted my problem 2 months ago: http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?t=5976 and the only answer was "yes ok it doesn't work". Since msvc is not supported by dosbox developers I didn't reply to the topic so I don't bother them. what can I say, I'll try by myself to …

Yeah, you would definately need a power house PC to be able to emulate all that DOSBox currently emulates AND 3DFX Instead it maybe will be faster: all 3dfx calls would be redirected to opengl and use hardware acceleration, so no graphic routines would be executed with dosbox, that would be free …
