Works well in DOSBox 0.73. Enable XMS, disable EMS and UMB. Memsize should be at least 8. Use dynamic core. Set to max speed or a fixed speed of around 30,000 cycles, depending on your real machine's power.

GAMES:Ultima VII Part 2: Serpent Isle

2009-08-11T17:06:40Z

89.54.153.230:

Ultima VII is playable through [http://exult.sourceforge.net/ Exult], which may be preferable to emulating it in DOSBox, but you should check the current status of Serpent Isle support in Exult as it tends to be less well supported than The Black Gate.

Alternatively, a guide to running it in DosBox can be found here: http://www.bootstrike.com/Ultima/Online/u7dosbox.html

89.54.153.230:

Ultima VII is playable through [http://exult.sourceforge.net/ Exult], which may be preferable to emulating it in DOSBox.

When using dosbox, use dynamic core and a fixed speed of roughly 9000 to 11000 cycles. Disable ems and umb support (you can disable xms too if you like, the game needs no himem.sys emulation). Memsize should be at least 3.

89.54.153.230:

U6 runs in Dos Box .72

3000 cycles and normal core is nice for better PC speaker effects. Chose "MCGA/VGA", "AdLib", and "I have a mouse" in the U6 install.exe setup program.

GAMES:Ultima III: Exodus

89.54.153.230: moslo isn't needed, Reduce cycles. Mode not emulated.

Ultima III: Exodus can be run under DOSbox on Windows XP. I tried the version from the Ultima Collection and it required the use of the included moslo program to be playable.

Edit: Reducing the cycles to about 300 should work better than moslo. Also, note that the 320x200 based CGA composite mode that the PC version of Ultima III was made for is not emulated by DOSBox as of August 2009. The game might look better (and includes music) under an Apple, Commodore or Atari emulator.
