Guest | how do i open dosbox.conf? What program do i use to run it? i double click it and it asks what program created it. Or is there some other way i'm supposed to go about doing this? | |

The Fifth Horseman | Change Core to Dynamic in DosBox.conf and check your CPU usage graph when increasing the cycles to get them as high as possible but below 100% CPU usage. | |

_r.u.s.s. | i think you put too much in to cpu cycles | |

E-Swan | ok i ended up using sound blaster for both sound and music and it works ok. The only problem now is that the game runs a little choppy and the music sounds like is is choppy and skipping sometimes... anyway to fix that? | |

hey, ok. I tried Alt-tab but all that happens is it bring up the window to switch from one window to another. It doesn't maximize the game screen. And as for the music, i did what you told me, but i still dont hear music. I only hear the footsteps and such still. This is what my install.exe thing looks like. Source Drive: C:\ULTIMA8 Destination Drive: C:\ULTIMA8 Sound Card: Sound Blaster PORT:0x0220 IRQ:7 DMA:1 (kept the defaults) Music Card: Adlib PORT:0x0388 (i kept the defaults, whatever it was already set at) by the way, thank you for helping |

to get in to full screen pres alt-enter for music, run 'install exe', then "change music configuration"-> then choose "Adlib" or "general midi" (leave default port be) and exit setup with hitting "install" and for speed up press ctrl-f12 (slow down ctrl-f11), but i d recommend you read dosbox faq, there are lots of other useful stuff |
