Everything so far (after changign full resolution to 0x0 from "origional") seems to be working fine. But i am noticing that it seems to be running at around 70% speed in game for some reason. This obv means that things take longer but more importantly its very annoying. Not sure if anyone else has noticed a problem like this, but if you knw9 how to fix it, plz let me know.
Thanks

You probably need to increase the number of cycles that DOSBox is using. Run DOSBox config, find the cycles line, check if it's on auto. Auto will theoretically guess how many cycles the game needs and how many your CPU can provide, but sometimes you need to run manually and increase the cycles until either:

1 - the game starts running smoothly with no pauses (usually the best way to tell is if the sound stops skipping and re-syncs.
2 - the game suddenly becomes worse and starts skipping. At this point you're pushing your CPU harder than it can work and you should dial back the cycles again.
