The Elder Scrolls: Arena In Dosbox

[evilded]

When I run this game in DOSBox, it runs reeeaaally slow. Unplayably slow. Ctrl+f12 doesnt help at all, frameskip is useless as well.

My pc specs are:
Celeron 566mhz
128mb RAM
WinXP Pro
ATI Raedon 7200

I don't think this game is too advanced for my comp, as it is like ten years old, LOL.

dosbox needs a good computer to run at a stable speed (thats why i don't use it)

[evilded]

Dang. Well how can i run this game then? When i run just the .exe my mouse gets frozen up at the character selection screen every time.

i use vmware to emulate a real dos system (have to install dos to the virtual machine to use dos though)

[evilded]

where can i get it and ill prolly need help installing it :help:

You can simplly use google to find web pages about vmware and freedos or msdos7.1 (in my case works better) as I don't believe that you have original DOS floppies.

Quote from Freedos.org:

Warning: DO NOT use FreeDOS Beta9 with an installed Windows NT/2000/XP, as the batch script messes up the NT bootloader. An update will be available soon.



I guess thats out of the question... LOL

[JJXB]

installing it on vmware doesn't affect the xp bootscript

VMWare creates PC emulator on your existing PC, but I don't think it will work much better then DOSBox on your machine.

I can't even find it.
