Thanks for the reply, and sorry for my late re-reply.. What config line is that one? Is it the CPU settings? I tried messing around with that with no luck -.-" For now I am content with slightly delayed sound effects.. the config file is dosbox.conf. It's a simple text file, so use your favourite text editor to open it. Look for this section ================================ [cpu] # core -- CPU Core used in emulation: normal,simple,dynamic,auto. # auto switches from normal to dynamic if appropriate. # cycles -- Amount of instructions DOSBox tries to emulate each millisecond. # Setting this value too high results in sound dropouts and lags. # You can also let DOSBox guess the correct value by setting it to max. # The default setting (auto) switches to max if appropriate. # cycleup -- Amount of cycles to increase/decrease with keycombo. # cycledown Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage. core=auto cycles=4000 cycleup=500 cycledown=20 ================================ Here, you just edit the value under 'cycles'. [edit] I would make a copy of the dosbox.conf file first, in case you need to undo.
