Yes, and it runs rather wonky. I have issues typing into the prompt when using that mode as if it could not determine to go faster or slower.

Holy shit, I can run the Build games (Duke Nukem 3D, Shadow Warrior, Blood) at full speed. This is amazing.

And BioMenace doesn't crash anymore. They even had a fix for it that didn't work. This new release is excellent.

I haven't figured out yet how to get the music working (read from CD) in Shadow Warrior, unfortunately.

Please for my sanity, since this game was brought up...

Alternate moving forward and backward with the arrow keys in Shadow Warrior: Does the character seem to drift to one side? I remember seeing something to this effect back in 1998...

Well, Duke Nukem 3D, Blood, and Shadow Warrior already have Windows ports, not to mention texture enhancement packs and the like, so why would someone use DOSBox to these games?

Just saying.
whicker: franpa is grammatically correct, and he still gets ripped on?
sweener2001: Grammatically correct this one time? sure. every other time? no. does that give him a right? not really.

Sometimes I prefer playing them without enhancements, because sometimes ports like to add "enhancements." It's like with ZDoom. There's definitely some changes, the biggest of which I've noticed is that the BFG doesn't throw creatures nearly as far, and I always loved launching a Cacodemon halfway across a map.

Anyway, there's plenty of other games that don't have ports, like Crusader: No Remorse or Quarantine II to name a couple, and those work amazingly well now.

Haven't noticed this effect.

For EMu-LoRd, there is CD-ROM support in DOSBox, it's something like "mount I: I:\ -t cdrom," I: being your respective CD-ROM drive. There's an -ioctl parameter also if you're running Windows NT or higher.

I think that's only necessary for threads that are popular or have a significant number of pages. This thread hasn't even reached page two yet.

This thread doesn't deserve to be stickied quite yet... I will acquire the update version in any case and pray it sucks less. :P

Yes, I propose a rule that a thread must have at least 2,000 replies (as a totally arbitrary number that has no relevance to any existing threads, of course) to be stickied :)

Even with all those extra lines, the music won't play since it's read from CD (alread tried that before your post).

did you try to put a label on the cd? using the label command in dosbox of course.

this is needed if you want settlers 2 to play cd audio in dosbox.

I hope this version doesn't run like a crippled dog.
I couldn't even run SNESTool with the previous one without massive slowdown and freezing :(
