slowing down dosemu?
Hello.
Quoted 1 line · Kacper Wysocki
In fact, the game speed is too fast to be playable, and I'm wondering whether there is anything I can do to slow things down.
What dosemu version is that? 1.2.2 have a serious bug which makes some games to run incredibly fast. If this is the case, try 1.3.1. Also note that you have to use dos32a to run Syndicate reliably. With dos4gw it may crash.

Didn't have troubles with crashing, but never heard of dos32a before, thanks! However, Syndicate Wars is still running too fast, even with dosemu 1.3.1. What other things can I do?
By the way, the debian dosemu packages seem to have been orphaned at version 1.2.1. I took the changes made by the old maintainers and merged them into 1.3.1, thereby making a a 1.3.1 debian package. The dosemu-freedos package also needs to be updated so that it doesn't use comcom.com anymore, but I wasn't up to the task, so I just dropped a new command.com in the appropriate place.

.. and the deb can be found in my tiny deb repo at
