I thought DOSBox emulated a Pentium 2 class impressive through the software but on a 286 processor, performance would be horrible. this is why doom and wolfenstien had the graphics they had; they were meant to run on 286 processors |

DOS is just the operating system: you could easily make an OpenGL-accelerated DOS game. This, on the other hand, strictly uses software rendering. It really looks amazing considering the very limited resources.

DOSBox also does not support anything newer than the Pentium's instruction set. --- Quote from: KoopaScooper on May 10, 2012, 10:13:02 AM ---impressive through the software but on a 286 processor, performance would be horrible. this is why doom and wolfenstien had the graphics they had; they were meant to run on 286 processors --- End quote --- Lolno. DOOM requires a 386 CPU to be playable, and you really want a 486DX2-66 to play it completely smoothly. I don't even think it would start on a 286. |
