I probably could have used an existing thread but I just had to shout it to the world!
Silent Hunter 1 is working perfectly on the new DosBox 0.70 :rock:
I'm also using the frontend DOG.
It's funny, the new SHIV is out and I'm all excited about playing SHI.
(SHI is probably the better game anyways :p)

SH1 is a GREAT game, and well ironed out after several patches, so it runs stable like a rock and is very accurate. The TDC specially is a beautiful tool.

Hopefully, SH4 will catch up that level of perfection in the near future after being conveniently modded and patched.:rock:

I've been playing SHCE with XP VDM/VDMS Sound. With DosBox 0.70 does it eliminate TC limitation of 128X, I think? I know playing the way I do that I think either 2048 or 4096 TC is supported.

Thanks.

Just tested. TC limited to 512 in DosBox 0.70. TC limited to 2048 with XP VDM/VDMS Sound.

Thanks.

Thanks.

I personaly impose on myself a strict no higher then x128 TC anyways. Just adds a little more realism to my simulation.

Yup AOD runs perfectly also! :up:
I only had trouble with SH1 on previous DosBox, it was way to slow, not anymore.

Fiuuu....i was worry
But .....works always

CTRL-F7 = Decreases frameskip

CTRL-F8 = Increases Frameskip

CTRL-F11 = Slows down the game

CTRL-F12 = Speeds up the game

Push CTRL-ALT-DEL and open Task Manager,
Performance tab.
CTRL-F12 until CPU Usage level 95%.
CTRL-F8 as you prefer.

I just installed DosBox 0.70 and SH Commanders Edition, I was able to get 2048 TC.

That's interesting. It could be hardware issue or maybe you have set up your *.CONF file different.

I'll PM you my email address. Maybe you could send me your CONF file so that I could take a look.

Thanks.

Actually I've been lucky enough to have both Silent Hunter and AOD running perfectly since the last version of DOSBox. (.65?)


BTW, I wonder how many hours I've spent playing those two games? I still play both regularly. True Classics! :up:
