for flashback there is some commandline switch you can use.
-2 or so

You can't control it directly from DOSBox. I guess it mostly depends on how the game tries to measure the speed. What core, and how many cycles, do you use when the speed detection is running?

I tried it with Cycles at "Auto" and "80000" and Core=auto, but nothing helps.
80k seems perfect for cycles, less click sounds in the audio.

Qbix: The Game I am trying to fix is "Fade to Black", so in my bat file, do this?

imgmount d D:\Emulation\Microsoft\DOS\Games\D\f2b.iso -t iso
cycles=80000
cd f2b
f2b.bat -2

Set core=dynamic and cycles=max.

For that cut scene problem in Fade to Black, add the parameter -2 to the executable file.

So it should be: f2b -2

Hope that helps.

I will try that... but what exactly does adding -2 do?
Was I right with the bat file above?

"f2b.bat -2"

Also, setting the cycles=max did the same thing as auto... it slightly stuttered. cycles=80000 runs the game perfectly smooth and reduces the audio clicks.

Check what's inside the batch file, usually the parameter has to be
specified at the .exe unless the batch file is specially written.

Will do... will look for the EXE inside the batch and will add the line. Will report what happens.

OK I ran into a snag.
Lookinf at the F2B.bat, I can't identify the EXE file. So at the moment I wouldn't know where to use the "-2" line.
Here is the contents of the f2b.bat that is used to run the game:

--------------------------------------------------------
@echo off
rem
rem Run Game without virtual memory. It will run faster than with it.
rem
set oldgvm=%DOS4GVM%
set old16m=%DOS16M%
set DOS4GVM=
set DOS16M=
echo Running the game Fade To Black ...
delphine -b512 %1 %2 %3 %4 %5 %6 %7 %8
set DOS4GVM=%oldgvm%
set oldgvm=
set DOS16M=%old16m%
set old16m=
-------------------------------------------------------

add it to delphine

It should already be used when you specify the -2 at the batch file,
but you could try to omit that b512 parameter, like executing "delphine -2".

Awesome... will try that! Will post resaults.

From the Fade to Black read.me file;

To speed a movie sequence, if you have a triple- or quad-speed CD-ROM with a slow PC, add -2 as a parameter on your command line. This forces the game to consider your CD-ROM drive as being double-speed only.

But it works the other way too, if the game thinks you have a single-speed CD-ROM and force it to double-speed.

There Freddo goes again and cheats by actually reading a Read.Me file 😀 What is the world coming to!!

it worked perfectly!!

I omitted the -b512 from the delphine command and add the -2

Thanks guys!!!!

Blindly deleting stuff is not my preferred way of solving problems. I would try again, with the original BAT-file and

f2b.bat -2

Not everybody is masochistic when it comes to computers 😉

Try again? Nah.... everything is perfect now. I will leave it as is.
And I did edit the original .bat file.
