I have a 2 gig mhz computer here, I don't think speed is a matter. I brought the cycles to 20000 without a problem, but the problem itself subsisted.

If it's not a speed problem, perhaps there is something wrong with my version of DOSBox. For starters, I'll check if I have 0.63 which I don't even remember to have downloaded and will try later.

as stated ive just started fiddling with dosbox and i found my programs are running ok now - also put it up to 17000 cycles with no problems - i had it on the default before of 3000 and that was what was causing the slowness.

Finally fiddled with the settings and came up trumps thanks agian.

Try to make a CD image of the NOD CD, I have a plan :sneaky:


Tell me what the size is when you zip that CD image afterwards. :ok:

i got original gdi and nod cd

I've got a Win 95 edition of C&C, it's the original version, but it's been modified to work under windows with higher resolutions and stuff :).
I made an ISO of it and rarred it and now it's almost 400MB in size...

I just downloaded ver.0.63 of DOSBox. I was still running 0.61, silly me.

The problem is way less important on 0.63 and it actually bring the game bareable. The problem still exist tough, and is easily noticable when a building get blown up. It never happened to me when playing the original on a true DOS machine, if someone would be wondering about the quality of the game.

people do you remember the the expansion to Command And Conquer ?

Command And Conquer: Covert Operations was it called.

seriously Command And Conquer is one of my all time favorites.

my friend is a real C&C freak and he saw covert ops on sale and bought it and he complained it wouldn't play. i then told him that its the expansion for the original LOL

Did you make a seperate archive for both CD's?

I want 2 different archives - one for GDI and one for NOD

you can download C&C gold for windows at cgarchive. thats about 25mb in the archive they allow you to download and it includes gdi and nod.
