DOSBox 0.73
Windows XP Pro SP2; 2.8 GHz Pentium D; 2 GB RAM
SimEarth version 1.2
Settings:
- DOSBox:
- CPU Cycles: 8000
- SimEarth:
- Video: VGA 640x480 16 color
- Sound: Sound Blaster
Game seems to run OK, with full sound effects and music. Motion is a bit choppy at DOSBox's default 3000 cycles; as mentioned above, I turn it up to 8000 cycles when playing.
