I hadn't really thought about the old CGA style games that run too fast; I always play them on my XT.

well it depends entirely on the game. Some can't be slowed down using that util some games have very messed up timer emulation. Another advanged of dosbox is that if the game hangs you can simply press ctrl-f9 instead of restarting the pc |

| FreeFreddy | Even then you can play them in Windows 98, as there's a slowdown program available, with it the games still can run at normal speed. Slowdown can be downloaded for free here: http://newton.pbk-solutions.de/ncu_nbu/slowdown.htm |

| Data | well some old games go too fast. |

| Guybrush | Windows 98 already has real DOS, wouldn't that be better than a slow emulator? |

| Data | there is an alpha version of vdmsound for win98 and dosbox works in it as well |

| JoA | Thanks, I don't use DosBox because I only have Win98 - don't think VDM works for that either, seem to remember going into DosBox's site and it saying not to use it for Win98. I'll try double hitting the forward key and see what happens. |

It would probably run much better without DOSBox. I simply run it directly in Windows XP using VDMSound; it works fine with no slowdowns.

| FreeFreddy | It's double hit the forward-key. That doesn't always work, though... |

There's a key you can use for running instead of walking, I forgot which one it was though...
