Same "fix" for that "bug".

You can even change the default cycles value in the dosbox config file.

I'm using dosbox 0.72. Why? And any reason that the tips in the README would not apply?

I'm curious though why a VGA game has a native resolution of 640x400. vga is usually 640x480x4 (square pixels) or 320x200x8.

What's a 3:2 screen? Replace all 3:2 with 4:3, a regular monitor. On a 4:3 screen using a resolution of 640x480 you get square pixels, simply because 4:3==1,333==640:480==1024:768 etc. When you display a 320x200 mode on such a screen, the pixels are not square because 320:200==1,6 (pixels are then …

But, having said that, isn't it a bit curious the chosen resolution for CGA was 320x200 when this in fact could not be displayed correctly on a standard monitor (unless you had black bars that is). Read again what hal posted, that's exactly where the non-square pixels come into play (320x200 cga …

I don't know what you mean by 3x2 monitor. True, should be 4x3.
Re: Video capture aspect ratio problems

I find this pretty confusing though. Isn't the whole purpose of aspect correction to ensure that the game is displayed in its native resolution? Aspect correction is supposed to be used if your graphics card does not stretch the 320x200 (non-square pixels) mode to fullscreen on a 3x2 monitor thus …

The video resolution (and thus aspect ratio) is not the one the game should and does run in. Yeah then instead of endless talks about it not being "correct" post some facts like what resolution the game runs on, at what pixel aspect ratio, and what the resulting screen/video captures look like, …

U7 uses rom data for its random generator, and dosbox has less real data there due to the callback mechanism. Guess the earthquake is affected by this as well.

I had put the old file back in the dosbox folder in Program Files. Bad idea because they are incompatible so problems are up to you.

If you disable XMS, the result will be the game complaining about not having sufficient memory and automatically disabling sounds (at least SoundBlaster ones). Maybe additionally disabling ems works (since memory is accessible through the int15 interface then, maybe the game is checking for it that …

They change the screen size a lot usually, there already exist some workarounds like keeping the old screensize for a moment to "buffer" rapid successions of height changes (like when tilting and so).

For dosbox 0.73 try the prefetching core. Other than that if it doesn't work in DOS it won't work in dosbox either...
