Hi all, new here.
Got dosbox running on a Macbook Pro C2D 2.33 ghz, 3 GB ram

I am trying to play Space Quest 6 and the game text is too fast to read
sound video all work fine
you can adjust text speed in the games control panel, have that turned all the way down -- still too fast

I tried switching to a slower cpu type, and reducing cycle % to the point right before it hangs, and it still displays too fast to read

also have used other core settings

here is my current config:
core=simple
cputype=386_slow
cycles=auto
cycleup=10
cycledown=20

Use fixed cycles. E.g., cycles=10000.

are you sure that the game is configured correctly to read the cd audio ?
Thought those were synced to the subtitles in some sierra games.

there is only text audio in some sequences and that works.

I tried the fixed cycles and it slows it down some but not enough. and it slows everything else down horribly. 😕
