Hi everyone,
i am new member to this forum and first i want to say hi to everyone. second i have some question that hope you guy can help me out. i currently use dosbox v0.65 and to play old game. it work fine, however, i want to increase the speed of the game. i had read one of the old thread where it teaches me to pres ctrl +f12 to increase the frequency of the cpu. i did increase my and it did increase the speed of the games. my first question is how do i know the fastest speed of the game without guessing (i did increase it to 3000000 but my cpu preformance is not 100% however it become slower) what should i do to find this optimal frequency.

my second question is about GUI. every time i want to play, i need to go to dos promt and mount the drive (for example mount c c:\) this is very annoyoing. is there a way that i can just click the shortcut icon. or is there a effective way for me not have to type mount c c:\

thank you

It always amazes me when people have the ability to locate a forum, register and then formulate a lengthy post to ask questions that 1) are in the readme and 2) have been answered several times before and located using the Search function of the forum 😖

Now the 'hi' bit's a-ok with me so look to the .conf file and refer to the readme for answers for setting up the command line/using different .conf files etc. As for how many cycles, it depends on your system, DOSBox options, the game and its demands. All very hard to pin down you can see! Search the forum for past guidance.

thank you for reply.
actually i did read the readme document that came with the program, however, it did not tell me the optimum speed of setting up the game (very broad). i realized that since the program is been around for a while, i thought that there is a better way to solve the speed problem. also, i did go to read old threat and realize that the post is like almost a years. i thought that the method is old. that is why i create this threat.
1) to update to better method of solving a exist problem
2) to educate newbie to a right path of using Dosbox

any how
thank you for the reply. i realized that the optimum way right now is still a in the readme document.
if you guy agree with my approach please point out.

thank you
