When I try blood with cycles=max, core=dynamic, it runs perfectly smooth and uses 15% host cpu When I try blood with cycles=max, core=normal/full, it runs very slowly and uses 15% host cpu I would have thought host CPU would be the bottleneck for core=static, but that doesn't seem to be the case. …

Is SC-55mkII a good choice for Ultima8? I think it supports MT-32 as well, but as more of an afterthought.

oh right! seems to sound better with adlib than with GM. Maybe I'm biased, I played U7 with an adlib back in the day on my 386 😀 I've always wanted to play U8 but never got a chance.

Thanks for the replies. I ended up purchasing a few titles last night and found exactly that - the Sierra collections have a launcher with dosbox nowhere to be found. boo. collector, could you tell me more about your patch? I'd love to use my own version of dosbox if possible. I suppose I could just …

How have people's experience been with this? Does steam tweak dosbox configs for each individual games? Can users make changes or are you forced to whatever steam gives you? Browsing through steam's catalog, I get the feeling that a good number of games are running dosbox 😀

Hi. Trying D-Fend Reloaded for the first time, quite impressive. Have a few suggestions 1) It would be nice if game .conf files were based off a default config template, always, with the option to override for behaviour specific to the game. Ie. The game would use a default dosbox config.ini, except …

Optimal setting for me seems to be cycles=50000. No stuttering video and very smooth gameplay, except while in very close combat/proximity to other ships.

So you've tried a dir other than c:\wc4, and with ems=false?

It seems if it's installed to c:\wc4 then you get the "Allocated 0 bytes of Memory" error. If I put it in c:\wc4demo I get "Exception 14 happened" with dynamic core. With normal or full core the screen just goes black and dosbox closes after a few seconds. odd.
