Dos Games Running Too Fast

Post by MSRX92 »

What is the best way to slow down a DOS game that is running too fast (ie CD-Man, Clyde, etc.) I have an shareware version of Mo'Slo that used to work with CD-Man, but now even that can't slow the game down to a playable level. Any ideas? I don't have any experience with DOS emulators and am not sure if that would help with a problem of a computer process being too fast. Thanks!

Actually, that's exactly what DOS emulators are for! Sort of. The purpose of a DOS emulator is to make DOS games work on modern computers, so part of that is speed. DOSBox is pretty close to 100% compatible with all DOS software, and the speed will almost always be perfect. If it happens to be too fast, press Ctrl+F11 to slow it down until the speed is right.

If you have no experience with DOSBox, you might want to start by reading this DOSBox tutorial.
Today entirely the maniac there is no excuse with the article.
