Unofficial Tex Murphy

Has anyone found a happy medium between playing the games in DosBox? If I make the game cycle faster for the 3D elements/gameplay the video suffers. If I cycle it to play video perfectly the game clunks up. Has anyone found a setting for both games that plays it just right? I like to call it the "Goldilocks" spot.

The problem is that I am on a laptop and can't change the cycles on the fly because of the layout of the keyboard. I need to set them every time I fire up the game and I am getting really sick of typing them in. Has ANYONE figured this out? At the very least figured out the ratio so it's applicable on any computer?

It's hard to say, because for me it depends on what's being rendered on the screen. If Tex is looking at the buildings on Chandler Ave., he walks around normally, but if he looks at his feet (so we only see the street texture), he starts running around at warp speed! (maybe the fact that he has no feet scared him)

I think it's more disturbing he has no legs, arms, or head. He's just a disembodied voice. Is Tex a ghost?

Maybe he is.

Firstly, he can move objects without touching them:

And he can walk through walls.

From my UAKM dosbox config file from Windows

• Code: Select all

  [cpu]
  core=auto
  cycles=auto

From my UAKM dosbox config file from Linux

• Code: Select all

  [cpu]
  core=dynamic
  cycles=auto

And here is a sample of the video quality I get in Linux...

Thanks for the tip, I never thought of typing either of those. UAKM seems to have cleaned up more but still gets hiccups in the sound like sudden speed bursts but Pandora works with dynamic and 70 000 cycles. I have a feeling UAKM is as good as it's gonna get.
