Is there a website to play DOS games w speed control?
Looking for a site where I can play the games with some sort of speed control. classic reload has a nice dosbox emulator but I can't control the crazy fast speed, even with their key command. Any others out there?

This is probably because the cycles are set to max, which emulates way more CPU power than needed on modern host PCs.dbtothados wrote:classic reload has a nice dosbox emulator but I can't control the crazy fast speed, even with their key command
You need to manually configure DOSBox to use less cycles. I have found the limit cycles option as described here very useful. Most VGA games run near perfectly with the following setting:
Code: Select all
cycles=auto 70% limit 26800
Note that you might want to use a different setting,
Code: Select all
cycles=max 70% limit 26800
