Have you tried "Screamer 2 & Screamer Rally" or "Comanche 3"? These are the only games that I've still found to be a bit slow-ish under v0.70. And they all work fine if I lower the detail levels.

Why should it discourage DOSBox authors? That these programs, which are DOS applications, work under DOSBox is a testimony of its overall faithfulness and compatibility. Tomorrow I'll see if I can get ZSNES working. I believe the DOS port is still being updated.

Just for curiosity's sake, I've been trying several old DOS-based emulators under DOSBox. A silly thing to do, really, because as far as I know they all have XP compatible (and often much better) versions. So I've tried Caprice, and old Amstrad CPC emulator still on development, and the legendary …

Heck, if implementing MMX means "Extreme Assault" will be too slow again we'd better stay as we are.

I should have mentioned this first: the version I'm trying is a CD-Rip, there's nothing to mount, just the installed game.

That's only because you haven't played "Rally Championship" and "Nascar Racing 2" enough. 😁

I've played the game in both VGA and SVGA modes with v0.70. It works great, provided you do as advised and uninstall the UNIVBE driver from the setup program.

The issue with the Miles config programs has been discussed here and there these latest weeks. It's really annoying, but it has a workaround: they don't crash if you use MOUSE ONLY to select the correct options. About sound stuttering, I haven't found such a problem in the Windows build.

Has anybody been able to play this game in SVGA mode? It has the worst SVGA configuration system I've ever seen, it either asks to choose among a limited list of card manufacturers or to install a universal driver that needs to modify system files. I remember playing in SVGA with my first video card …

Yeah, but one think is the cursor blinking and the other completely dissappearing in that screen we mention. I don't remember having trouble selecting units when I played under DOS.
