State of Decay: YOSE Took about 15 hours and the game bored me the entire time. Didn't bother building out the last base, lots of houses still unscavenged. Too much pointless driving around. Ending sucked. Didn't bothered playing the DLC.

Depends on the application you run in DOSBox. If you set to max then it will not set cycles to higher than your computer can support so you're good. If your application is still running too slow then you need to upgrade your processor. There's no point in showing the value to a regular user since it …

You use fdisk to manage partitions You use format to format them. You can use the /Q switch to skip performing a full format. If you're afraid of messing up 9x you can either copy the windows folder to another folder and/or make a backup image.

My ppa applies this patch for a long long time. I honestly figure out the only reason it's not upstream is that dosbox devs have been neglecting some areas of the code for a long while. That's just like your opinion man. Keep them out of threads where they don't belong. If you have something to …

Nothing has happened yet and Intel would likely barely notice considering Apple accounts for just 5% of Intel revenue and if Intel does care they have 2+ yrs to find ways to replace that revenue. Don't even want to think about those poor gamers\developers\workers trying to use their x86 applications …

Make sure you're running the game in MS-DOS, not the command prompt. Try changing the game graphics options in setup and/or modifying the game config file. Try running the game with NOLFB.

You could try sfc /scannow or try to track down if any securom crap is on your system. I've seen that prevent 16bit files from being deleted and slowing down explorer tasks but not preventing 16bit executables from launching. Probably simpler to just wipe and reinstall.
