2. you could use "core auto" "cycles auto" in most of cases, dosbox does the job pretty well
3. frameskip doesn't make the game chop, more like other way, on slower machines it helps to run them more smooth
4. you CAN install the game, it's just that you had to mount your FB directory as a virtual floppy drive A and dosbox would install from there. it was looking for a drive that you didn't create
Yes, because DOSBox is only able to affect files in your "CDrive" folder. If your game comes in a bunch of files, it's recommended that you put all of the game files in a folder.
also about those cd's what it was it was a kit my father bought for an old dell computer. It was a soundblaster kit that had the speakers and two cd's full of games. In order to install I believe you had to us the cd drive type up the command of the game for example E:\>syndplus\install.exe or something like that I was young
I have a cd of some these old dos games which is like a compilation of games like one cd has syndicate plus, ultima 8, wing commander 2, and strike commander
i should have watched it whole before posting
1. ctrl+f12 is not a dos command
