Good morning everyone and thanx for having invented such a great emulator...

After reading quite all the forum i've still some questions to make.(probably I miss something?)
I start little big adventure successfully and the sound work perfectly but... Is there any way to speed up the game??

My configuration is amd 1600mh geforce2 512ram soundblaster.

Thanks a lot for your help!!! 😅

DosFreak will you shut up about people having too slow processors? Did you get an Athlon 64 FX-51 for [anti]Christ-mas or something? Jesus. You need to tell people to RTFM instead because if you did you'd know that you use Ctrl+F12 to increase the number of clock cycles given to the emulated computer and Ctrl+F11 to reduce it and Ctrl+F8 to increase frameskip to increase speed and Ctrl+F7 to decrease it.

Yes, it’s my fault.

I have another idea.

Generally, the DOSBox General forum commentary should pertain to DOSBox only. DOSFreak, please avoid making commentary about Windows VDM stuff when in the DOSBox General forum. Without viewing the user's system specs, you might assume they're running Windows when they are running Linux or Mac OSX. A caveat: if the poster's specifications of their system are posted, and it's too slow to run DOSBox & the game to be emulated at a reasonable speed, and they run Windows, and the game runs okay natively in Windows without too many hacks, then it's entirely within reason to recommend in this forum that their system may get better results by running the game natively instead of in DOSBox. Otherwise, I don't think it's proper. This is already the second time I've seen the utility NOLFB being bantered around in this forum. It really has no use here, as of yet.

OTOH, if someone had posted in the DOS Forum in "The Guide", then such mixed commentary is okay provided one specify whether your advice pertains to DOSBox or the Windows Command Prompt.

DOSFreak is correct, though. LBA runs fine in Windows, I highly recommend one of the Windows interpreters like LBAWin. On the original poster's system, that may run much better/easier than trying to emulate the game in DOSBox. But I believe LBA may run okay in DOSBox on the poster's system. Just possibly not full-speed regardless of the frameskip/emulated cycles settings.
