hello
there is a horrible tearing in the game Aladdin, this game seems to be out of sync or something like that
I tried to make it playlable in DOSbox, PCEM and 86xbox trying to use vsync and some other tricks, but I had no good results because there is always tearing
I suspect this game is failed from factory...I want to hear your opinion
anyways
is there a solution for this?
Aladdin has screen tearing even when played on real, period-correct retro hardware and a CRT monitor.
Maybe it's a bit less noticeable than on emulators, but the tearing is still there.

Ah ok I imagined that on a real dos PC DOS machine also happens
btw,
what about the Aladdin windows version? a compilation of 3 games, Aladdin,lion king and jungle book
do you know if this version is a real windows version and if it have the same problem?

I haven't played the Windows version of Aladdin. But maybe someone else can chime in on that.
The advantage of the Windows version is that it at least supports 3 joystick buttons (hit, jump and throw apples), unlike the DOS version.
Doom is what you want (c) MAZter
As it seems that the DOS version is port of the Amiga version, itself a port of the Genesis/Mega Drive version, checking out these predecessors of the DOS version might be warranted.

yep what says there is somewhere correct but what is not true is that has a reduced palette
the Amiga version is the one with better sound and music but runs only at 25fps, the megadrive version is smooth it runs at 60 or 50 fps but the music and sfx is not so good
The PC version have the same tunes of the Amiga version but they don't sound that good as in the Amiga surely due ineffective sound conversion or so
The DOS version seems it runs at 30 fps but with horrible scroll and tearing
so none of them is perfect, yet I think that the DOS version could be fixed remove tearing to enhance overall sound and scroll
