Okay, I give up.

Subjectively I'm not seeing much of any difference in this new build.

It does "feel" more rock steady and stable though.

What changes are in this latest version?

I only changed the way it's compiled (-O2 vs previous -Os), if you don't think it's any faster then I'm keeping -Os since my djgpp test program works a bit faster too (contrary to common sense, but those things happen).

I would have to say that the old version is a little faster but the difference is pretty much negligible.

Is there any way to incorporate a right click feature?

I know that it's not programmed directly in Dosbox to allow such a thing so you would have to write the entire script yourself.

I'm guessing that it wouldn't be worth the headache.

It'd be neat to be able to hold down one of the buttons to change the touchpad to right-click.

Such an innovation would make it possible to play the Ultima Underworld games on the go, which would be absolutely fantastic.

You're really strung up on Ultima aren't you?

I'd say use Javis' latest SNES emulator.

I think there's three or four Ultima games that were released for that system and you're going to get better performance than what Dosbox can bring.

not necessarily strung up... I just grew up with the games and am delighted to be able to play them on a mobile device : )

I remember playing the first Ultima on Nintendo for almost two months.

It's amazing how I was willing to overlook graphics, music and gameplay.

Runes of the Avatar was my favorite. I lent it out to a friend who decided not to give it back to me.

He was shot in the shoulder once so I had no problem letting him keep it.

I've spent about 3 hours trying to tweak Underworld to playability on dosbox. Speed is almost there if you turn off all the tiles. But steering is next-to-impossible due to the mouse interface.

There are projects to reverse-engineer Underworld out there. If you love the game, contribute to them. Otherwise i doubt you will be playing Underworld on N900.

Ever

Playing with new dosbox builds atm- getting up to 2000 cycles with steady sound, with this bin and conf...

If you want to help compare speed to current dosbox build, cat the zips to a .tbz and uncompress. be sure to have a ssh session open so you can kill the process,

No luck getting SDL to talk straight to alsa yet.

pupnik, I've just pushed a new build today (no performance changes at all) but didn't notice this. What have you been playing with?
