Do you know the problem of having a newer PC running under DOS,
and whenever you want to play a certain game, it rushes so fast that it is unplayable? If you know any solutions to this problem, please put them here. |

There's a way in options of the game to set it on the right speed, you just find it and choose MEDIUM SPEED PC. Then it works.

well some game will run fine. Some won't. It all depends on the way their timing is programmed.

But there are some utils, such as Moslo that will slow down your CPU, resolving some of those issues.
There's some info on SpaceQuest.net about setting up a DOS pc. It deals with older hardware, but a lot of this is true for newer hardware as well. |

What's the point of running new hardware with DOS at all when you have DosBox?

Much more as a matter of fact. With my 1.3 Ghz proc I'm unable to emulate more then say a 286. With my pentium 166 on the other hand, I dont't have to emulate at all!

Hey, I don't have anything against having a pure-true-DOS old machine with sole purpose of bring used to play games, but it makes little sense to me to run a 1,3 Ghz computer under true DOS just to play old games. That's all.

The problem is that it isn't considered wasting time when you do that, holding in check the amount of crap that is coming out these days.
