Outstanding dosbox performance on custom built dosbox with optimisations for Pyra.

[Wally]

I've been doing some fiddling with dosbox with the new kernel and stuff.



I have found that the following games perform REALLY well with sound so we have a base benchmark!


The following games I have tested are running at peak performance with this build.


Blood


Redneck Rampage


Daggerfall 


Videos will come in time, Was just very excited to find these beauties ran well! 


Anyone got anything they'd like me to test?

 

[Wally]

Let's add System Shock to this list

 

[ekianjo]

the first fallout runs on dosbox too, right ?

 

[ekianjo]

If you can also test Screamer and Screamer 2 this will provide some good idea if the 3D performance is great or not  on Pandora it runs pretty badly.

Any chance you could try Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II?

Nah that's Windows, runs fine in Wine though

Downloaded the demos. Will give them a shot soon!

Any chance you could try Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II?

Sure, I think I have this on steam at home. so i'll grab the files and check later!

I'm not 100% sure but 99% confident that the first Fallout also had a DOS version on top of the Windows version

 

[Wally]

Screamer 1 works amazingly! Screamer 2 requires wine



Edit: The version I downloaded did. I'll look further tomorrow

 You're right! I'll try and find it later.

That would be cool I just started playing fallout 1 (follow the hype etc.) and I seems like a game that would be great on the train

I'm inetrested in Warcraft II. If you by chance have it...

 

[PowerGod]

Can you try KKND if you have the chance ?

 

[Wally]

Can you try KKND if you have the chance ?

I will yeah, it's in my queue already

I'm inetrested in Warcraft II. If you by chance have it...

I think Warcraft II already works on the Pandora

 

[benoitb]

Little Big Adventure 2 ?


But since screamer works well, I guess LBA2 will work just fine as well.

 

[Wally]

LBA2 works fine, tested that ages ago

Any chance you could try Jedi Knight: Dark Forces II?

That only has a Windows version, so DOSBOX wouldn't work. I tried it with Exagear + WINE and ran into some issues if I recall it may have been the CD Security causing it to fail to launch even with the official CD in a USB drive... I can try getting Steam working again on my devboard and try that version. 

 

[ElPoco]

If you have trouble getting Steam to work, you can use Steamcmd. That's what I did with exagear on my Pandora.

 

[TrashyMG]

If you have trouble getting Steam to work, you can use Steamcmd. That's what I did with exagear on my Pandora.

generally It's just a matter of installing steam on x86 debian repository on the OMAP5. I'm on a new install of exagear, so I just need to re-install steam among other things. 

 

[Emnasut]

Could you try Crusader: No Regret?
