I had to change a few things to get it working nicely as I will document below. If you the game goes to a black screen and freezes after the introduction movies, choose Soundblaster 16/Pro for your music card instead of general midi, this worked for me. A good tutorial on installing can be found here. I am a relative newbie to Dosbox so perhaps I'm off the mark, but my experience dovetails with a couple other posts here. This game is unplayable in Dosbox because, when you approach a planet or large ship, your framerate dives terribly. You can manually ratchet up your cycles to compensate, but throws your joystick calibration out of whack, so you lose either way. I suppose you could play with the mouse and fiddle with cycle rate all the time, but who really wants to replay the game with a mouse? Maybe there are some tricks to set in the.
(For reference, I'm running an Intel i5 at 3.8ghz.) conf file that I don't know about that would mitigate this issue.

One silver lining is that you can straight up install and run this game in Windows 7 (64-bit) with the W95 version (Google to see how to turn DOS version into W95).

Then you need a tool like CPU Killer to kill the hyperspeed, and the speed patch you can find on WC CIC. Between these two, you can sort of run the game at a playable level. What CPU settings (machine, core, cputype, cycles) work best for you? Inconsistent frame rates & Joystick re-calibration issue ( right, constant cycles make the game slow down when approaching planets or when your tailing an enemy closely. I am still new to DOSBox and not familiar with those setting. But I remember playing this game - back in the day - on a 90MHz Pentium with one of the first Graphic Accelerator cards at very consistent frame rates.Īlso tried disabling 'High-resolution' mode in-game but it didn't change much.įurther I noticed the "timed" setting in the joystick category. Will have to play with that to see if it's a possible solution to our Joystick trouble. Other than that I am super excited that DOSBox exists and that I get to play one of my all-time favorite games again. Windows 7, quad-core 2.3gb, 512mb ram and DosBox 0.74 with Tubo Dos Box front end.
