This game runs fine, except 2 things
1) sound skips evey 3-5 secs, no big deal
2) the cycles are maxed out, plays way too fast.
How do I slow it down ? Can I do it in-game, or do I need to do it from the .conf file ?

Only in the config. Also, to reduce the sound stuttering, you can modify the blocksize and prebuffer settings.

[_r.u.s.s.]

if you mean you are using dosbox and cycles are too high then you can decrease them with f11 button. but you could try using "cycles auto" maybe the dosbox will pick well for you..

btw when cycles are too high (more than your processor can handle) then the sound skipping thingie appears

Make that CTRL+F11.


FYI F_LeRoy, try the dosbox readme, all is listed there.

this is one of the best navigation thing i have seen before, even better than unchartered water, but, surely ... limits.

Got a problem with this game, it goes too fast! At the initial screen with the town for example I can see the sea wildly fluttering and a constant stream of rats crazily crossing the street. The thing is, if I turn down the cycles, mouse control becomes sluggish...what can I do?
