There should be at least a decent 1ghz x86 handheld out there. All x86 CPU implementations are big, power-consuming, and hot. The best that can be done with current, affordable technology is a laptop. I doubt that anyone could make one smaller than a PSOne: http://www.gaming-age.com/news3/may2k/ …

It's been two years already since VOGONS was slashdotted over canadacow's MT-32 emulator: http://yro.slashdot.org/yro/03/10/11/1833213.shtml Incidentally, who else has a slashdot account? I'd like to add some of you to my friends list 😀

The high brass notes in the AWE32 recording sound like someone is stepping on a rodent. The SCD-15 recordings sound nice though. I'll have to compare them to the output from my SC-88. Does the SCD-15 have the same exact sample set as any of the SC- series synths? The SC-88 has both its own and SC-55 …

I'm not going to install MS Visual Dingaling just for that. Or does it compile under MingW? I've only ever compiled DOSBox under MingW. It works fine. No, I think Sierra just goofed again. Mickey's Space Adventure has the same problem in Tandy mode --- pink is orange and orange is pink. Ah, so …

Every NTSC TV has a "hue" control. :) I take it that you're from a "PAL TV" country, so you may not know this. I've never seen a control named "hue" on an NTSC TV. Is it the same as "tint"? Unfortunately not, even though I've been whining in my notoriously subtle way for quite some time. :) I think …

Are you using the same computers and DOSBox sound buffer and sample rate configuration settings with comparing sound output in 0.63 and CVS? There is a possibility that you're unintentionally introducing the sound artifacts by using too small of a buffer or by having analog input lines unmuted on …

Ah. In that case you may try looking into stuff like Kali. A quick google searched turned up this: http://www.taltech.com/products/tcpcom.html (look at the software's ability to create virtual serial ports that forward to TCP/IP ports).

I haven't used it, but I think DOSBox provides serial emulation over TCP/IP so you can play modem games over the Internet or a LAN. This may only be in the CVS builds, and don't ask me how to do it because I've never tried (other people may know however)

Even in the CVS, the MIDI notes in the Legend games are more or less off key, no matter what the CPU cycle or the window scaling is set to. It's especially noticeable in Gateway 2 (ie. the condo) and Hoboken (ie. Matilda's computer room). I'm not sure what's causing it, since otherwise it works …

Sounds kind of neat. Might have to check it out. Off topic (hey, it's Milliways): I totally need to get a DVD burner - I've managed to collect most of the LucasArts games supported by SCUMMVM (plus Beneath a Steel Sky) and they only add up to 2.15GB!

Nope, the cycles setting just tells DOSBox how much of your CPU power it can use for emulation by setting the speed of the virtual DOS machine. It can't change the actual speed of your real CPU.
