GP2+Dosbox

Help, it runs sluggish.

Does anyone have a config that gets this to run properly?

Haha, actually it's funny you guys mentioned rFactor as I thought I'd
give it a go last night and I was really impressed!

Because Dosbox is an emulator it runs a lot slower than real dos. It's
no good for more demanding games. Dosbox can barely run Masters of Magic
acceptably so there is little hope for it to run GP2 very well.

You guys did press CTRL-F11 and CTRL-F12 to speed up/slow down the
processor speed, yes? No?

Yeah, I've tried that and a few other tweaks but with no great
improvement.

It's not just that GP2 is slow in dosbox but it's also seems out of
sync (sound+graphics) and is basically unplayable.

F1GP runs much better in comparison.

Try VDMsound instead. That might give you better results.

Well I have a widescreen lcd and I simply can't stand games that
stretch to fit the 16:10 aspect ratio so I think dosbox is my only
real option given I can run it in a window with normal aspect.
