Isn't there a util out there that can help with the stuttering problem some DOS games have under NT based OSes?

The excellent VDMSound app has brought back the joy that is DOS gaming... but can I have the speed back too?

Thanks for the link but I'm having trouble getting the thing to work properly (the readme supplied in the .zip was of little help).

Can you give me an example of a game you got working under this and how you did it? So far I've only been able to mount folders... all the games I've tried to run exit with 'feature unsupported'.

Also how it the config file generated? (I did it once but I can't for the life of me remember how).

Deary me even the original DOS was easier to configure and use than this!

Dosbox 0.56
