What's the proper way of playing this? I tried dosbox but it's too fast and fixes don't work.

Works on my machine ;)

GOG version works great.

Did you try to play with the cycle count or different core type?

>> No.5560947

>>5560940
But Anon, I AM playing the GOG version. I even looked up the guide for high cycles there.
What do you mean by "different core type"? I'm not wery knowledgable in PC stuff.

>>5560947
Then why are you using a PC? If you don't know how to use a Computer than you should be on a Mac.

It's the only thing I have. I've just never bothered with learning it deeper, and now it's biting me in the ass.

You can change dosbox's speed. It that isn't working you're likely doing it wrong.

Literally dosbox, I don't understand what problem you're having with it

>> No.5561178

>>5560935
Was a while ago, but I recall you could play around with DOSBox's CPU cycles to get it to (mostly) behave.

>>5560935
GOG version lacks the foreign languages, doesn't matter to most people, but it matters to me.

>>5561068
Like a sourceport?

>> No.5561249

>>5561178
Yeah. It can use either the original CD data or from installed GOG version with 0 dosbox fuckery.

Do you have a link to its homepage or something? I want to look at its documentation and features first.

>> No.5561292

I don't know if it has a home page, I found it on GOG forums:

Ctrl+F11

>> No.5564393

It's not a great fix, but the original game actually has a built in speed control if you press the + and - keys on the main keyboard while in a mission. Of course that means you will still have the start of each mission running at insane speeds as well as the menu screens, but hey, it does work!

PM'd you the fix ;)

It's playable on dosBox, source: Myself. You just have to decrease the "cycles", how much power is given to emulating the game (something like that). It's something like CTRL+F12 or F11
