Essential improvements

Run in DOSBox

To run correctly in DOSBox make the following changes:[3]

  • Change cycles=auto to cycles=max
  • Change memsize=16 to memsize=24
  • Change timed=true to timed=false
  • Change rate and oplrate to match the frequencies set in Sound Options in-game.

Leave all other settings at their defaults.
