a) be sure you're using dosbox 0.72, and look in the dosbox.conf for
the cycles= settings (try cycles=max 80% or something similar)

b) read the readme, and the [autoexec] section of your dosbox.conf

Have fun!

If you have more than 60 seconds to spare, use Notepad to edit "%ProgramFiles%\DOSBox-0.72\dosbox.conf" and add the mount commands to the section named autoexec (at the bottom of the file):

[autoexec]
mount C "C:\Documents and Settings\your-user-name\My Documents\DOSBox stuff\MyGame"
mount D "D:" -t cdrom -ioctl
C:

That way, they will automagically be executed by DOSBox everytime you start DOSBox.

Kings Quest, Myst and many, many old games are still available and sold on eBay, Steam, etc, etc. It is also (in most countries) illegal to download them for free, so please don't ask for them here at VOGONS.

For free games, try a site called "Liberated Games".

The latest release of DBGL (DOSBox Game Launcher) also comes with a neat little collection of free games, ready to play.

Wonder if he would be interested in a FREE download of Tierra Entertainment's Quest remakes? http://www.agdinteractive.com/games.php
