So I've always noticed some slight input lag while playing games in DOSBox. I always assumed some lag to be normal, as it's there on other emulators as well. However the other day I was running DOSBox on Windows XP for the first time ever, and immediately noticed that the usual input lag was COMPLETELY GONE! It felt like playing on a real DOS computer.
I made sure that the DOSBox version and conf file was exactly the same on all three computers. Yet I could not get rid of the slight input delay on Windows 7 and 10. Btw, the Win7 and 10 computers use an i7-950 and i7-8700K respectively, so it's definitely not caused by lack of CPU power. The Windows XP computer only has an Athlon 3000+.
Does anyone know of a way to reduce DOSBox input latency on Windows 7 and later?
