Good afternoon,
I recently switched a couple of my DOS BBS nodes from dosemu to dosbox-x, at
the request of the software maintainer. For the most part, the BBS works the
same if not a little better. Despite the connect speed being reduced from
115200 to 57600, one of my telnet callers has reported that games like OOII
areactually working fast enough that game play is no longer slugish.
However, I have run into an issue with BRE. Normally, when BRE starts, the
first screen the caller sees (that gives them the version info) quickly clears
and they are presented with the BRE ansi welcome screen.
Now that I have moved over to dosbox-x, there is a very noticable pause
betweenthe version screen and the ANSI screen. Maybe 20 or more seconds before
the
game continues. Once this happens, the game seems to run and exit just fine.
Is anyone else using dosbox-x with BRE? If so, did you have to do anything
special to get it running?
Some pertinent settings from each environment...
dosemu:
cpu = 80586
ems = 8192
video = vga
all other cpu/memory/video settings left to default
dosbox-x:
cpu core = auto
cpu type = auto
ems = true
machine ("video") = svga_s3
all other settings left to default
I am running dosbox-x on a debian linux bookworm machine. I have tried
changing the CPU setting to '386' and '486' (via the pull down menu) but that
didn't seem to change the behavior (i.e. in dosbox-x).
Thanks,
Mike
