Yesterday I downloaded DOSBox v0.70. I tried it out a bit before going to bed, and it seemed to be working well. For instance, I always get a sound stutter at the beginning of the Albion intro, but not so with 0.70. Great! And the 3D section of that particular game seemed somewhat smoother, too.
But now, DOSBox doesn't work well at all. The emulation stutters (tried several games, happens with all). I thought perhaps it had to do with sound, but I get the stuttering (a slight pause every two seconds) even with sound disabled.
I have made no changes to my system at all, other than installing the DBGLse frontend, and the latest Java which it required. I have also been moving the DOS games, frontend and DOSbox between partitions, but always made sure the paths are correct. And I have tried uninstalling and reinstalling everything (to main partition, in case that matters) just to be sure.
I have tried changing the amount of cycles, and most other options, via the DBGLse frontend, but to no avail.
I have tried removing all unnecessary processes, cleaning the registry, shutting down the internet connection, closing down the virus protection... but nothing helps!
I have no problems with v0.65, though.
My system is:
Windows XP (all updates)
Direct9.0c
Abit SA7 mainboard (latest drivers)
P4 2.0 Ghz
GForce4 Ti4600 (Forceware 91.31)
1 GB memory
40 + 80 GB Harddisk
SB Live! 512 (latest drivers)
