DOSBox question

[Anonymous No.1650217]

Hey, I used to run Blood with DOSBox on a 2009 tier laptop, 2.4 Ghz Core2Duo processor. Only if I played it on the second lowest resolution (something like 320 by 480) and below would I get 60+fps. Of course if Blood was made to run on modern machines and/or it had a source port release I could run it at 1080p with no framerate loss whatsoever but DOSBox doesn't handle it too well.

I want to buy a new laptop and the specs in pic related are the best I can go for given my price range. Any chance in hell this will allow me to run Blood in DOSBox at 800x600 or 640x480 native at 60+fps?

Even though I'm going from Core2Duo 2.4Ghz to i5 2.9Ghz, is it true that I will only get marginal improvement in Blood since I've heard that DOSBox only uses one processing core? Thank you.

On my old dualcore 2,5ghz I was only able to play Blood in dosbox at 320*200 to have good framerate indeed.

On my new quadcore 3,2ghz, I can play at 800*600 and have a constant 60fps.

However, I don't think the number of cores matter, I don't think dosbox supports more than one core. So basically, it's going from 2,5ghz to 3,2ghz which make the difference.

I can't promise you you'll be able to run it at 800*600 with that setup, but at least 640*400 or 640*480 should be fine.

If you like Blood I recommend you to try Powerslave and Redneck Rampage Rides Again, too.

I'm so fucking jelly.

Thanks for your response. Yeah I'll definitely check out Rides Again some time, does it have a source port or anything? Cheers.
