That's actually what the newest builds of DOSBox try to do.
core=auto, cycles=auto in DOSBox 0.74 runs remarkably well on a wide range of systems.
Recently I've been trying WC1 with DOSBox 0.74 and the above settings.
I have an Intel Core 2 Duo E6850 processor but still
when there are many fighters I get slowdowns.
When there is only one fighter the game runs a bit too fast.
Is there an option in DOSBox to have one single cycle speed.
Even the fixed cycles settings have slowdows.
Then, increasing cycles leads to a too fast gameplay when there is less action.
I prefer playing the original releases instead of the Saga edition, as the sound and music are original.
Is there btw a solution to this problem, or do we have to wait some time
for an improved DOSBox emulation?
I remember playing this game on a 386 DX 33 and Pentium 60 but I don't know
for sure if there were those slowdowns or not.
Please confirm, if yes. Because then the emulation works as supposed.
