So I do not need to manualy press "Ctrl+F11" or "Ctrl+F12" to adjust the speed every time I run the game. Running the game with this start.bat file automaticaly adjusts the cycles to 60000 which seems to be good for Steel Panthers 2. bat file with the cycles command to automate the speed adjustemt for a particular game if you like.įor example for Steel Panthers 2 I have created a file START.BAT in the game directory that has the following in it: Most games however run with correct speed without the need to manualy change it. Or if it runs too fast Ctrl + F11 slows down the speed. If a game runs too slow I press the keys Ctrl + F12 to speed up the emulation. Or if one likes DOSBox to always start in full screen one can edit the option in the beginning of the conficuration file under as follows: To get to Full screen one can press "Alt Gr + Enter". And I mount it as the virtual C: drive for DOSBOX.Īnd ofcourse my computers CD/DVD drive letter is E: and for DOSBox I mount it as D: So I have all my DOS games on the D: drive under \DOSGAMES\ -folder. Here I have input the path to my DOS C: drive and my computers CD/DVD drive like this: In the DOSBox config file the most useful settings are in the end under the field. Just configuring DOSBox with Notepad seems to be enough.
I am not using any third party frontend programs though. That seems to work just fine for all the games I have played with it. The last official version has been 0.74 since 2010. I have been using DOSBox to play my old DOS games for several years now.
