hi all !
First of all I want to thank you for such a wonderful release !
It is VERY fast - so fast so I can play Duke Nukem now on my AMD Athlon 1.6 GHz.
CPU Benchmarks according to Norton Utilities for DOS:
Intel 386DX-33 - score 35.9
Intel 486DX-33 - score 71.2
Intel Pentium-66 - score 211.4
DOSBox 0.70 on AMD Athlon XP 1.6 GHz - score jumps between 150 and 280 !
a real Pentium performance ! 😀 BRAVO !
My settings:
[cpu]
core=dynamic
cycles=max
The readme says:
At present, DOSBox running on a high-end machine will roughly be the equivalent of a 486 PC.
I think this needs to be changed to:
At present, DOSBox running on a high-end machine will roughly be the equivalent of the original Pentium PC.
NOTE: That current high-end machine is not the Athlon, but the Core 2.
