    Can anything be done to slow down a door game if its needed? I'm reviewing a program called moslo but have yet to test it out. http://www.hpaa.com/moslo/ ---

    Figured it out by just tossing doors that need to be slowed though dosbox rather than sync proper. Works like a champ.

    I run Moslo for one game, Falkenpede. I ended up having to buy the deluxe version to get it to work. It has a 486 setting and now the game runs slow enough it can be played successfully.

    How did you get it to work? i was getting some strage errors before I just used dosbox to slow it.

    I bought the deluxe version of the program. The command line I run is:

    c:\moslo\moslo.com /P4 /2 game.exe door.sys

    After the "/2" is whatever command you need to run the game. But the moslo commands must be in the same line.

    The /P4 is for 486

    The /2 (if I remember right) is for percent of system speed. Even at the 486 speed it was still not quite right.
