well i played with dosbox with the dynamic core tonight and I had some fun. Thanks M-HT!

cycles seem to between 2k and 3k, no surprise, although I ended up using max. I didnt have to guess a number and things just ran perfect with it

Test subjects:
Blake Stone: playable with no sound, overclock and we may have it all sound and all the gfx goodies. Will run fullspeed with everything turned off

Keen 4: smooth as glass, with sound

Alone in the Dark: fullspeed, not bad, didnt run with sound

Stunts: Fullspeed! I was surprised by this one, very smooth with sound

duke1: actually ran this with the normal core yesterday and ran fine

Hopefully this gives everyone a better idea on what can run. I may do more tests, its a pain right now as my usb croaked so all the keyboard input is through the angstrom virtual keyboard and pecking at the pandora contacts with a joystick rubber mat I stole from a psx controller.

Thank you, Pickle!

Blake Stone... my, that brings back memories. I''''d love to be able to play through that game again. Hopefully its performance will improve with time.

And that Keen 4 runs perfectly is excellent news (Keen 6 was my favourite, though). I''''m really looking forward to playing through all of those Apogee games again.

P.S. Does anyone know what the system requirements of "Stunts" are? I can''t find them anywhere.

CODE

I don''t know the game and this might not be it but:

HARDWARE Requirements (original/minimum):
Stunts requires an Intel 8086 processor (or compatibles) running with 8 MHz or faster. You will also need a video card, such as Hercules, CGA, EGA, MCGA/VGA, 640K of memory and a 5.25" or 3.5" disk drive. AdLib, SoundBlaster or Roland MT-32 sound cards and Joystick or Mouse are supported.

Ah. I know the dev for that. We were both part of the LieroX community. Great guy.

Anyways, Pickle, any chance you could try running Red alert on DosBox? It's been released for free by EA in honor of Red alert 3's release.

Ah Blake Stone, quick GIS and I remember that. I also remember it felt like a reskin of Wolf 3D, no? Still sounds like we're below the PSP for Dosbox, at this point anyway.

There seem to be two games with quite similar names.
This is the PC one I used to play on a 286:

\[url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/stunts/techinfo\]Stunts for DOS\[/url\]

The other one is \[url=http://www.mobygames.com/game/dos/stunt-track-racer/techinfo\]Stunt car racer\[/url\] (who knows why they list is as Stunt TRACK racer..

Agree, used to love that game! Especially the green "rope" fury

Thanks, Pickle! That all sounds great news. Can I ask what the likelihood of getting Alone In The Dark working with sound is?

[borgqueenx]

Yes! Commander keen:D pickle could you please test red alert and the first c&c as well?
