I'm having a hard time running this game well on both a 486 DX2/66 (upgraded IBM PS/ValuePoint 425SX/S, running MS-DOS 6.22, 32 megs of RAM, no L2 present) and my custom Vortex86DX (same OS, speed equivalent to a P2 MMX 233 MHz, underclocking and L1 L2 disabling possible through BIOS). I've tried every trick I know:
-disabling L1, L2 cache
-underclocking the vortex86DX from 800 MHz to 25 MHz with a 32 cpu frequency divider
-running various CPU limiter apps, including moslo v1.32 (command.com is slowed down, then I can run the batch file this game wants, for its cfg command line parameter)
Here's a comparison video I made between dosbox and real hardware (p2mmx equivalent). All the above tricks do nothing to curtail the problems with the feed on the right of the video.
The first obvious glitch appears around 1:15 and it gets worse and worse from then on.
Did people just give up entirely on running this game past the 386 generation?
