Crank the cycles up before starting the game...15,000 to 20,000 does it for my POS laptop. Actually, it still gets stuck, at least if you often pause the game (by clicking the Escape key on your keyboard), why is that? Why is it even needed to give it so many cycles in the first place? I've found …

That idea gave me some headache, because KF is my primary emulator still for Sega MD/X32/CD emulation, just like the slightly aged ZSNES is for SNES emulation and Nestopia is for NES emulation. I've switched to Snes9x (no longer developed and yet 12 years newer than ZSNES, plus supports netplay). …

Just FYI that someone created a dedicated Flashback engine (kind of like ScummVM but just for Flashback) called REminiscence . Despite what its README states, it runs the CD version natively with the movies, sound, music, etc. When you move between rooms, there's no delay, unlike in other versions …

After some research, I only use the freeware "Generic Game Trainer" (yes, that's actually its name). Since the time I wrote it, this software was removed from its site and stopped working in Windows. Nowadays I guess the go-to program is https://cheatengine.org (again, "Cheat Engine" is actually …

The tool (not tools) is only good for its own texts. Anyway (assuming that's the case), can you add the statement "no bidi support" to readme.txt's language section?

I take your word that the sources also ignore keybrd4.sys. I just wonder why.

No, I meant if no KL files are around does it look for UZ inside keyboard.sys, then in keybrd2.sys, then in keybrd3.sys and finally in keybrd4.sys? wd wrote: the .sys (keyboard/keybrd2/keybrd3) over the internal-compiled (.sys import) ones. What's the latter?

If I put all four sys files, does DOSBox just look for UZ in all of them until it finds it?

I use XP SP3. My games look like %USERPROFILE%\My Documents\games\DOS\gameX\ If the GameX folder itself contains just mapper-0.74.map (or no DOSBox files at all), then DOSBox ignores it, and saves changes to the profile's folder. If it contains dosbox.conf (even a dummy one), then it saves changes …
