If this is a stupid qiestion or one that's been answered elsewhere, I apologise in advance. I searched for "keyboard and latency" but got no matches, hence this post, though I guess others may call this something else.
When I compare the experience of playing games on original hardware [ie. under Windows 95 or DOS on a K6 machine] with playing them in Dosbox [under XP, on an AM2 5400+], there is a slight but noticeable delay between keypresses and any associated sounds the game might produce as a direct result of that keypress.
For example, on Vinyl Goddess of Mars, there is a click as you go down from one item to the next on the main menu. In Dosbox there is a delay before the click. There are similar lags on Warcraft 1.
Is this slight lag inevitable or is there some setting I can change to amend it? Or will upgrading my dosbox system reduce it?
