We make intensified arcade-style retro games. Read more at the Performance article on the DOSBox wiki, to address speeds up with grahics and sound.Īn award-winning indie game studio that I founded with my twin brother. Result: 45% performance, is the best I can do for now! It is still only 45% of the original speed, where I would love to see an increase in speed, but it is much better than the 20% performance I was getting out of maximizing the CPU cycles alone.
#Dosbox maximize how to
Step 2: I researched how to speed up DOSBox more, finding the dynamic core setting, and this doubled the performance to 45,000 moves per second. According to my documentation of WipeOut, it performed 100,000 moves per second on my 200MHz computer, and it only calculates 20,000 moves per second in DOSBox with the cycles maximized. Step 1: I maximized DOSBox's cycles count, as it is limited to be slower by default. I expected DOSBox, without cycle limit, on a single core on my current 2.4 GHz (2,400 MHz) system to out perform my 200 MHz computer from 1998. I have been playing around with some old DOS programs Jason and I have written, notably our artificial intelligence ones, like Jason's Maim Chess engine and Triple Jump checker engine, and my WipeOut Reversi/Othello engine. 3) This is best accompanied by cycles=max (see above). Warning: 1) This is known to crash programs sporadically and I have witnessed it do this to our own AI programs I mention below. Set core=dynamic in the DOSBox configuration file, to force usage of a dynamically recompiling core. Warning: This sometimes results in a game working too fast or unstable.
Set to cycles=max in the DOSBox configuration file. Here's how to maximize DOSBox calculation performance on an x86 processor:
