Thanks! I'll give the frameskip a shot, in my limited undestanding it shouldn't mess the graphics (...? well, you may laugh
) up too much and if that be the case its good
For the record, I have Dosbox running at memsize 64 or 63 MB (for another game, i.e Strike Commander), tampered a little with the resolution (no visible effect) and run dosbox at 18,000 - 20,000 cycles at all times. Experience shows that this is somewhere near my computer's limits (mp3 player and other programs may stutter occasionaly) but does not start slowing the dosgame itself just then.
I just attempted a 'dynamic core', the result was a discouraging bunch of error adresses etc., i.e. it doesn't work for me. I reset the core to normal, is there any 'better' setting?
Also I checked the dosbox page, I still use 0.63 since it works, I decided NOT to upgrade right now since X-com Apoc is not specifically listed for DosBox, at least not in the 0.65 version and among the comments of 0.65-users trying to play the game there are mostly problems listed. Right decision?
Thanks again!
