got a problem with the dosbox

Post by Cheerio »

hello, i searched for a same type of topic but couldnt find so im make'n a new one.

well, today i decided to get Arena, so i dwonloaded it at TES homepage, i also found the DOSBox. i installed 'em and tried it. in dos i had to write down the "\" and that didnt work cuz im having swedish settings and things are a bit diffrent then, anyway i changed those settings to English and it worked. then when i finally got arena to work there was another problem - the cpu cycles was to slow (arena in slowmotion even the MIDI-sound), so i closed dos down and mixed dosbox.CONF a bit. i changed the cycles to first 2000 (still to slow) then 5000 (didnt see any diffrent) then 10000 (nothing ._.), 100000 (the sound went off), 1000000 (it didnt start at all). so i dont know what to do, if someone uses the same DOSBox could check his/her dosbox.CONF and tell me what the cpu cycles stands on.

DOSBox looks like it should do but Arena is in slowmotion
the mouse sensitivity is normal but the "movies" or intro is in slowmotion likewise the "sound".

In the game its lagging.

Heh... you really shouldn't go over 15000 cycles....

Mine stands on 12000 with one frame skip per second. Runs fine. Remember, it is an old game, so don't expect it to run uber-fast.

You didnt at all make me more confused there.
Where the heck do you start, and where do you end on the map :?

You start in the closed space on the far right and center part of the map. Your goal is the green dot at the bottom/left corner.
