So your system is good enough to start game in VM, but not enough to start it in DOSBox? Ok.

Actually, if only DOS version itself not have some extra strange speed limitations, I have no idea how it can be the case. But... case solved, you said? Let it be.

Didnt you READ the original question? Its installed in WINDOWS xp, so the game has installed the WINDOWS 95 version. Dosbox wont load the WINDOWS 95 version. the DOS version is slooooow anyways. READ the original question next time. ok? good!

Amppa Yep, luckily I solved the problem myself.
I used Virtual PC 2004 program and took Windows 98 settings and installed my old Windows 98 to Virtual PC 2004. Then just install windows version of Faery Tale Adventure 2 and play. Speed is original (not slow at all) and everything works good (reading books etc.).
My tinkering around worked like a charm.

Case is solved.

The Fifth Horseman Well, you didn't say your machine had too slow CPU to run it.

All you said was that "the game is too slow in DosBox", which is the problem typically associated with individuals who can hardly figure out what the command line is.

So:
Dosbox - scratch
VDMS - scratch.
Abandonia Bootdisk - ?

Amppa Have You tried this game? This requires very fast CPU to run this. And I know all about fastening dosbox, works well on not so demanding games.

The Fifth Horseman Another completely green dude who completely skips the readme... Read it, and better do it now.
The official DosBox FAQ, and particularly this part of it are next in order.

And FYI, DosBox doesn't have a fixed speed. Try the following:
frameskip=1
core=dynamic
cycles=10000
cycleup=1000
cycledown =1000
If you still don't know where these go, read up on the config file.
Then tune the DosBox cycle value using CTRL+F11 and CTRL+F12 to the maximum your machine can handle on that game. To check that, enable XP's resource monitor thingy and minimize it. Go into DosBox (fullscreen mode! that's important!) and after a minute or so back to the resource monitor. Did the CPU usage reach 100%? It should be as close to the top as possible without actually reaching it.
