Apogee's Monster Bash - odd slowdown

I've been trying to play this classic platformer lately (Johnny Dash is clearly much cooler than Jill Valentine, seeing as he can take on hordes of zombies with a slingshot, rather than a rocket-launcher) but I've got some trouble... Right at first, it ran just fine. But then, suddenly, inexplicably …

Re: Crusader performance

I tried with Full core... verrrry odd... At first, it seemed to decrease performance - the cutscenes were hacking like nobody's business - but when I got into the game itself, that was running fine. And what more is, according to the display in the top, I was only pulling 10-12.000 cycles per second …

Re: Crusader performance

Okay, I tried to run it windowed... providing that those results are reliable, it's pulling 95% of my CPU when I'm in motion - which is basically everything there is. More worrying, however, is the fact that I just got another 'crash'... suddenly, inexplicably, without warning, DosBox shut down …

Re: Crusader performance

Just ran a trial... I was hitting roughly 90% CPU usage when standing still - and, according to the Dynamic Cycle Display, running at around 35.000 cycles per sec. Of course, that probably means that I'm pushing 100% when moving, although I haven't found a way to check that without leaving full- …

Re: Crusader performance

It wouldn't surprise me if the problem was caused by high processor usage... in order to run full-screen high-color videos smoothly, I pushed the cycles up to 50.000... o_o Next time I run it, I'll try to check the actual CPU usage, but from earlier experiences with the normal DosBox build, Crusader …

Re: Crusader performance

Okay, it seems to be working rather well... even got high-color full-screen videos running pretty smoothly, with 50000 cycles. However, at random intervals, the controls will freeze - the Crusader will either stand unmoving, or continuously walk in one direction indefinitely... is this a related …

Re: Crusader performance

I'm desperately trying to squeeze a decent performance outta DosBox... I tried with tvynr's config-file, and when that failed to produce much of an improvement, I modified it according to the Guest's suggestion, adding timesync and increasing the cycles to 20000 (I really hope that last 0 is an …
