IIRC the game was released under the title BlackHawk in some regions.

In FPS games like Duke Nukem 3D , Descent or Radix , I might change the controls to the WASD scheme if I feel like it (more probably for Descent , "on foot" FPS games usually play well with the default arrow keys controls). Sometimes I'd also invert the mouse Y axis, but after having some experience …

Thanks for the explanation! What about the timesynched feature? Was it dropped because it didn't work as intended? (Sorry if this is covered elsewhere, I dind't find anything on this topic as of yet.)

I hope I'm not anooying you guys, but how does the max cycles function work then? Does it do some math to determine maximum cycles? Does it increase cycles until some feedback from the actual machine tells it to stop? Oh, an by the way (hope this isn't considered off-topic): some earlier SVN builds …

Hmm, I haven't though that some games might be more demanding than others in this respect as well. Thanks guys! But sound stuttering is a symptom of CPU overclocking, right? I mean, if the sound begins to stutter this always means that cycles are too high, or not?

Well, what people do then to determine the maximum available amount of cycles? One of the reasons I've started to wonder about this is the following: this Ancien DOS Games review states that to get a performance increase in Thor's Hammer , one needs to up the cycles to 50,000 or so. The author …

It depends on the game as well. (more precisely on the complexity of the instructions used by the game) Hmm, do you mean that the amount of emulated cycles varies according to what programme is loaded into memory inside DOSBox (on the cycles=max setting that is), or that the performance of the …

Thanks for the swift reply. I'd be grateful though if you elaborated a bit. If the cycles=max function does work, then it does return some estimate (or exact value maybe?) from the actual hardware to DOSBox to emulate a certain amount of cycles accordingly, right? Or maybe there are rough estimates …

I've been wondering, is there any reliable way of inferring the maximum amount of CPU cycles DOSBox can emulate on a particular machine from its CPU clock rate? I'm using cycles=max since this feature had been first introduced, but I've never given any thought to how many cycles this actually is on …

Hello! While I generally don't use frontends, I find your project very appealing, especially for the bundled games feature, which IMO must be helping a lot to bring DOS games to a wider audience (taking into account that not everyone is willing to mess around with DOSBox settings on their own). …
