MOM gets *very* slow to pass turn with a lot of enemy units on the map, even on a real high end 486. If it's taking 5-6 seconds near the start of a game, something is wrong though.

Why can't you remove the read-only attribute from the folder? *thinks*...Are you using an admin account, or a user account on windows?

Yeah, WC:Prophecy is a Windows game, but the original C&C should be playable under dosbox on a decent system.

Yeah, CD is just for changing directory, not drive.

Are you talking about Syndicate or Syndicate Wars here? AFAIK, the original Syndicate runs in 640x480x4bpp (a standard VGA mode). Be suprised if it had support for anything higer, as it came out in '93.

No, the exe *is* dosbox, basically. If you run a modified 0.63 exe in a 0.65 install, you're really just running a modified 0.63. apart from you might get problems with the config file not being as the dosbox.exe expects.

Put the converter and the txt file in a folder somewhere, and then something like the following... mount c /myfolder c: abcd file.txt Avoid filenames/foldernames greater than 8 characters + 3 for extension unless you want to use 8.3 truncated filenames like ThisFi~1.txt

Strange. Maybe copy the contents of the CD to a folder on your hard disk?
Re: odd problems with : (US KEYBOARD)

Strange. According to the README the problem occurs with keyboard layouts that *aren't* US. Have you got it actually configured as a US keyboard in debian? This is the section from the README... Q: I can't type \ or : in DOSBox. A: This is a known problem. It only occurs if your keyboard layout …

Not sure about the problem, but to change settings you have to open dosbox.conf in a text editor such as notepad.

Do you have a mapper.txt file? It should have saved the mapper settings there... I don't know much about this, but also did you try changing usescancodes to true or false, instead?

Quake runs about as smoothly as Doom on Dosbox. A quirk of the dynamic core I guess. Only get about 10,000 cycles w/ Doom, but 24,000 w/ Quake.

How is it lagging? Freezes sometimes? Lags before you move? Or just slow (low fps) ? Here's my quick guide to making games faster. Maybe it'll help... --- Quick steps for making dosbox faster: Make sure you're using a recent DosBox version - either 0.65 or a CVS version. See http://www.vogons.org/ …

There's some shareware/demo games at http://www.dosgamesarchive.com/ Also there's http://liberatedgames.org/gamelisting.php which has some previously commercial games that have been released as freeware, such as Tyrian and OMF2097.

Well, I guess anything considered unstable, not integrating with the rest of dosbox too well, or otherwise less-than-perfect was kept out of the official release so there wouldn't be loads of people complaining about it.
