Sadly, as i can see the use in having it to test demo productions (this is all impossible now, because if sync is not exact, timing is off) or to try games before migrating to actual vintage hardware.Īm i just missing something fundamental that i should set up or is this the reality of DOSBox?Īs a comparison, when i went through the hassle of setting up and running PCEm and installed DOS in it, to run Epic Pinball it's as smooth as on original hardware. Has serious frame skips on DOSBox, in multiple configurations.Īll around i see people praising DOSBox, but for me it's always been broken like this. Tried different settings, output options, nothing seems to fix it. Scrolling is smooth on my real 486 DX2/66. Second reference case, take "In search of Dr. This is tested on 9 different PCs using all types of monitors and video cards. Now run it in DOSBox and there is either jittery scrolling or a pause stutter every now and then. It does on my real Pentium hardware, in fact it's buttery smooth. Take for example Epic Pinball (a good reference case). Tried this on very powerful hardware, lower end hardware, LED, LCD, CRT monitors. There has been an endless parade of jittery scrolling, frame skips and stutter. But never have i been able to replicate the same smooth scrolling or non-lag experience of real hardware. So, i have been dabbling with DOSBox on and off for several years, to try to use it for testing software releases and older demos before moving them to vintage hardware.
