The answer is pretty much always the same. 'It works in DOSBox'. I also recommend you get a free front end for DOSBox called D-Fend. It set's up the mounting and soundcard, etc globally, which mean you only have to set it up once, you can set the cycles and skips, etc in D-Fend because you can set a profile for each game. Once the profile is set you double click on it and D_Fend calls DOSBox, gives it the paramenters and settings you have made in the D-Fend profile and starts the game. No setting the mounting over and over again and resetting the cycles. In D-Fend, just do it the once!

I have about 50 old DOS games listed in my D-Fend profile list. I couldn't even tell you what cycles, etc I have each game set up for. All I do is double click on the game, just like a shortcut and DOSBox opens, the game loads, the screen goes full screen and I have the game running at the cycles and setting I want without having to touch anything (other than the first time)!!!
