Re: Space Shooters like WC and Freespace - Opinions?

in Milliways
About the Wing Commander games: first of all the game engine has really inaccurate controls. With mouse, keyboard or joystick, you won't be able to aim accurately. The gameplay is quite repetitive and frustrating in 1 & 2 and their expansion packs. I could never beat some of the missions without …

I was expecting to see them in EGA by clicking on the EGA (16c) link at the bottom, but it lists a …

Re: I have CPU emu question.

Re: I have CPU emu question.

Does its technically possible to raise CPU Hz to actual host OS ? or close to it? or much more Hz than it can have now? You can set cycles=3000000 to emulate 3GHz, but it won't run in real-time. What the problem? if we run dosbox on x86 or x64 architecure, so why not just make dosbox run on fly …
