hello

am trying to run speedset to speed up my game (flashback), but find that it only marginally affects the cutscene sequences while DRAMATICALLY speeding up gameplay. as a matter of fact, gameplay without speedset is almost perfect speed, but cutscenes are very slow (also making music slow).

any suggestions why there seem to be 2 speeds within the same game?
thanks

It could be using two different ways of handling speed, kinda like how the old Sierra SCI games do. One uses a proper clock timer, and one uses the cpu as a timer. (IIRC, IANACP)

Yes, it’s my fault.

Use dosbox @ http://dosboz.sourceforge.net/ , worked fine with Flashback last time I checked.
