To run resource-demanding games:
|
||||
===============================
|
||||
|
||||
DOSBox emulates at the CPU, the sound and graphic cards, and some other
|
||||
stuff, all at the same time. You can overclock DOSBox by using CTRL+F12, but
|
||||
you'll be limited by the power of your actual CPU. You can see how much free
|
||||
time your true CPU has by looking at the Task Manager in Windows 2000/XP and
|
||||
the System Monitor in Windows 95/98/ME. Once 100% of your real CPU time is
|
||||
used there is no further way to speed up DOSBox unless you reduce the load
|
||||
generated by the non-CPU parts of DOSBox.
|
||||
|
||||
So:
|
||||
|
||||
Close every program but DOSBox
|
||||
|
||||
Overclock DOSBox until 100% of your CPU is used (use the utilities above to
|
||||
check)
|
||||
|
||||
Since VGA emulation is the most demanding part of DOSBox in terms of actual
|
||||
CPU usage, we'll start here. Increase the number of frames skipped (in
|
||||
increments of one) by pressing CRTL+F8. Your CPU usage should decrease.
|
||||
Go back to step 2 and repeat this until the game runs fast enough for you.
|
||||
Please note that this is a trade off: you lose in fluidity of video what you
|
||||
gain in speed
|
||||
|
||||
You can also try to disable the sound through the setup utility of the game
|
||||
to further reduce load on your CPU.
