Good news for retro gamers!

To anyone using the current Ubuntu image 4/4 - Dosbox runs at an amazing 60fps. I've gotten all the classic titles to work, requires some emulator knowledge. I even got WarCraft II working very well. However if you'd like a copy of my dosbox.conf, lemme know and I'll pastebin it.

Performance tips : Run it on "surface", no opengl. Use 640x520 fullscreen for games like Warcraft or Settlers II.

Turn off compositing (xfce, compton, xcompmgr). Use a lightweight window manager (i recommend i3 for the board, performs very well).

xrandr -s 0
xrandr -s 1
xrandr -s 2
*these commands will change monitor resolution on the fly

Also, Clementine, the internet radio client, works too - you can stream spotify with a premium account. Happy computing!

you mean we are finally at the point where a 4x1400mhz cpu can emulate a 1x60mhz cpu effectively?

I am very happy to hear that, I am playing video games my whole life, and sometimes I want to play some video games since my childhood, but there is a very big problem because it is very hard to start a retro video game, a was searching for different emulators. I don't like them so much because it is very hard for me to work with them. I found a good one and played the first Diablo, oh I like that game a lot. After that, I noticed that there is a third part of these games so I bought it at a very good price on www.cdkeysforgames.com. I liked the old Diablo but the newest is just incredible.
