Hi
Can I get Pirates Gold for windows go any slower, cause it's VERY hard to do combat when everything's this fast. It's virtually unplayable.
I'm running on Windows XP. Someone said that you could download the Dos version but I'm not too sure about it working on an XP-computer

Thanx a million if you can answer this!

You can use CPU Killer or some other programs made just for this. However, I don't recommend this solution. I rather play Pirates! for Genesis (Mega Drive) using Gens.

Why wouldn't you recomend it.. I think it sounds easy enough

If you use Dosbox and you can slow the cycles. You have in the main page the place to download the dosbox and you can read the tutorial, i think is the best way to you run and slow the game.

when you slow down applications by CPUkiller,
processor make some operations in background and isnt running slow "permamently" but "laggy"
i mean:runs slow for some seconds, then for a very little period of time runs faster, then slow again...

I've tried DOSBox now, but the problem I guess is that I have a swedish keyboard and I have no idea now how to make the sign ":"
It's hard to mount c: without that sign
It seems pretty simple but I seriously have no idea how to make it. ">" appears instead of ":"

The other solution I've tried is a program called A Speeder. Didn't work. It slows down games like Pinball but it doesn't affect Pirates Gold for Windows at all :angry:

Hmm.... feedback needed I guess

:cry:

Well, as you stated that your game is for Windows then you need solutions for Windows. A DOS CPU Killer obviously won't work, as would DOSBox if you could make it work. Same for VDMSound.

There ought to be a CPU Killer for Windows out there somewhere.

you can allways switch to english keyboard possible shortcuts are
alt+shift
ctrl+shift

why dont you use dos box virtual keyboarb to change a key...

oops double post!!!

i dont think youd want to use that cpu killer it could be confusing i tried it once and my pc crashed...

guys what about the virtual keyboard idea?

sorry 4 double post


EDIT:heh...kill me for not remebering :tomato: :not_ok:

Then don't double post. Just use the edit button? :blink:

how about now

Don't force me to close this thread because of spaming.

Well, as I said in the corresponding games' threat, a software slowdown will do, I just DLed the windows version (because it's so goddamn awfully slow in DosBox) and I use THIS nice little proggy here in addition... Just scroll down a little and click on "Download starten".

Works fine for me.

The clou is, if you slowed it down completely and the game is still running too fast on your PC, you can open it a second time etc... :ok:

EDIT @ Anubis: Sorry, but the Sega-version sucks donkeys' balls in comparision... the GFX are just awful. And that's coming from a rabid Sega Genesis-fan ;)

Yeah.. I tried that program now.. worked like a charm... the only thing is that you really have to fine tune it s? that it's slow enough but doesn't "lag" so much...

Thanx a Million!!!
