Bimlanders: I'm not running the version from GOG but from the original dos version from way back when. I cannot get the game to run smoothly by increasing the cycles. If I increase too much, the game starts to slow to a crawl with the music and sound lagging severely. I can get both Wolf3D and Planet Strike to run fine in DOSbox by increasing the cycles, but not AOG. What gives? Would I have better luck with the GOG version?

-thanks.

RamzesXIII: People, stop fiddling with cycles. It doesn't help that much.

Here's what you need to do:

go to Program Files/GOG.com/Blake Stone Aliens of Gold

open in wordpad dosboxBlakeAOG.conf

find section [cpu], and lines core= and cycles=.

make'em look like this:

core=auto
cycles=max

File>Save, close. Enjoy Blake Stone.

Really, manually correcting things in .conf files is way more effective than relying on the GOG's settings application.

Bimlanders: The config file is already set that way. But when I run the game through a manual dosbox load, the settings reset to whatever they were before. Running the game through the windows icon means that I don't get sound. Poo.
