DosBox too slow! (DM2)

Post by Kharon »

Hi,

I encountered a strange problem when using DosBox when playing DM2. Game was working otherwise good (sounds and mouse ok), but game was very very low. I tried to speed it up with Ctrl + F8 and Ctrl + F12 (if I recall right) and speed values change but game speed not.

Anyone have any suggestions?

My computer is
AMD-K 500 hz
SB 128
128 memory

Thanks at advance!

That's your problem -- Dosbox does not run well on older machines. You really need something running at least 1GHz to get any decent performance on a demanding game like DM2.
