Default Pinball Dreams

Got this top game to run using DOSBox but it's extremely slow and the sound is terribly chopped up.

Any (simple) solutions?

Regards.

Windows Vista\Intel Core 2 6600@2.4 GHz/DOSBox 0.72.

I'm sure that WinUae is splendid but after reading other postings I've weaned myself off D-Fend reloaded and other "front-ends" and am trying to stick with DOSBox.

"Psycho Pinball" works a treat after simple tweaks on the "options" screen.

That's why a simple solution would do for me!

Regards.

i dunno, try writing "core auto" and "cycles max" commands, then i don't konw but maybe vista doesn't give enough of process priority to dosbox? try closing all other apps

btw it works ok on dosbox too

Pinball Dreams works flawlessly for me right out of the archive, using DOSBox 0.72. My core is set to normal.

I have however found very strange that you can control the ball itself with the arrows... I must say that I never made so high a score in a pinball game before.
