Doesn't seem to be anything out of ordinary.

You might want to try sbtype=sbpro2 (just in case, because it appears slightly more compatibile).

Other than that, did you try redownloading and reinstalling DosBox? See if the problems still occur with an earlier version.

Just a thing though, the game kinda has "LOTS" of exes and bats where the game can initiate from, and now, FULL, the bat I used earlier doesn't work, Instead, I use ufocd... it doesn't matter but can someone explain me why do some DOS games have so many forms of running the game? FULL gets bugged and UFO shows lots of errors and doesn't start, for example, I'm just curious...

LOL, just tried out "ACTUAL" gaming, and well... 0.65 eats a HELL LOT of resources, I can only go so far as 15k cycles without cpu being at 100%, and that's slow as hell! :wallbash: This isn't playable...

Try changing core=normal to core=dynamic in Dosbox.conf. This will allow you to run the game at higher cycles.

Alternatively, try using VDMSound to run it - VDMS does not offer as extensive emulation as DosBox, but doesn't take up as much of your CPU power either.

Please make sure to report that issue to the Dosbox development team, complete with details on your hardware and driver versions. It's something they might want to fix by the time of next release.

That's very odd, it worked for me both in 0.65 and the newer versions, no glitches or anything like that. Did you try getting a different copy of the game to run?

Sorry I explained myself badly, what I meant is that when I reach 15kcycles CPU peaks at 100%... I've reported to the DOSBOX development team the happening. (dosbox.crew@gmail.com)

Yes, that's exactly how I understood you.
You see, setting Core to Dynamic increases the maximum cycle value your machine can handle. Just try it and find out for yourself.
