Here are the contents of my configuration file. Perhaps someone smart enough can figure out what the problem is. Has anyone tried this game with DOSBox 0.72?
I've played it in DOSBox quite a bit. Have you tried putting the cycles to "auto" and see how the game speed is? It may help make the game run a bit more smoothly universally for you. Also, try setting the mouse sensitivity to between 200 and 300 (comes in handy for other games too).


Keep in mind, there's always going to be some chugging in games like this. There's a truth in gaming today, that was just as pertinent back then... game engines can only handle so much. Unless the coding is immaculate, or the game never fully pushes it's graphics engine to the limit, you'll run into spots were the frame rate goes down (be it a little, or a lot), or areas where it seems to drop for no visible reason. Factor in things like the CPU power needed for DOSBox to create and maintain it's DOS emulation, and having spots of slow down isn't much of a surprise.
