I remember that Ecstatica 2 had indeed faster speed on Windows than DOS Best current option is to play the patched version that has correct MIDI music. https://ecstatica.fandom.com/wiki/Playing_Ecstatica_II_on_Modern_Systems Unfortunately while DOS version has the correct framerate, the game …

I only played a few minutes, but it seems to work fine, as long as I have timed=false. With timed=true, he constantly runs to the right. Sorry, I don't know what else you could try. It is more convenient to use a keyboard to joystick mapper like Xpadder. This way you can add far more keys and …

I remember that issue even on an actual DOS machine when I had the CD version. I could only do special moves with 3 keys, but anything that required 4 presses at once was not feasible on ps/2 keyboards.

The fork that makes the difference is dosbox-x but again not for all games. When I tried using host mode on Lionking on gsync monitor with opengl pixel perfect, movement was as smooth as the console and amiga version. Even smoother than the original dos port!

I got a Phillips 107e50 for free from our school warehouse, saving it just before recyclement. I would have opted for a 19" LG 900b but it was missing its base and the plastic on the side had cracked, making it dangerous during carrying, despite working fine. Phillips was lighter and more robust in …

I don't have crysis to confirm actual functioning, but an asrock g31 mainboard coupled with an nVidia GT9600 and a core2duo E86oo + 2gb ram makes for a nice year 2009 machine. EDIT: it may be noted that winXP wasn't actually discontinued until 2014 and i can confirm that sandybridge drivers exist …

I ask because on Microsoft's side there is hardly any official updates on that part. The most they'd report was about DirectX 9 applications. Is there any partial unofficial or official documentation about old games compatibility and changes with each Windows upgrade, especially after ending support …

Is it possible to add support for refresh rates higher than 60 hz? DOS games played up to 70hz in some games. Also can DOSBOX take advantage of Gsync/Freesync like WinUAE does?

Running DOS natively is possible, just that you might encounter a few more issues than usual. While you might not be able to run DOS for gaming purposes, as it's hard or impossible to get audio working (and video might have issues sometimes), it's still good enough for some business or industrial …
