no, vmware is more slow than dosbox, if emulating the same os (dos)

if it's slow for you, you messed up settings

Sure, but it still uses hella lot of resources, and as I told you earlier DosBox produces some weird errors and bugs with games...still. For the sake of argument, I dug up some of my old games that are compatible with both DOS and W98... guess what, the w98 version runs fine on the VM but the dos version has the gremlins ranging from speed problems and freezes to unexplicable bugs. So I'm staying right here with the VM thankyouverymuch.
