I play constructor under DosBox fine. I'm using the latest CVS build. You need to use the right settings to achieve a perfect balance. I've got a 1.53ghz Athlon 1800 CPU, so if mine can handle it- your should be able to 😀
The settings are-
- Dynamic Core @ 15,000 Cycles
- 32M Memory
- Sound configured as Sound Blaster AWE32 (Digital Device) & MPU 401 (MIDI Device). These appear to be the fastest under DosBox at the moment.
- Movies disabled ingame
I'd suggest you grab a copy from Home of the Underdogs (Do NOT POST TO ABANDONWARE SITES). It's ripped, so it doesnt have any movies, but it's also cracked so there isnt any CD check (Yes, I own the original too!). Also, grab the latest CVS compiled build from the site in the sticky thread of the development section. It works without skipping at all, and is perfectly smooth.
If you wish, you can grab the cracked files (but not the full game) from my webpage. This is handy if you dont want to download everything, but want to be able to play without the CD.

Good luck.
