Heh, it truthfully isn't too bad. Of course it isn't something I would want to live on, but it is entirely tolerable to play games on. Probably the thing I dislike the most is the fact that folders can be a pain in a window, it doesn't like to show all the files outside of what is initially visible unless I enlarge the window, everywhere else is just white. Easy enough fix, you just run a shortcut from the desktop, which you need for target line modifications anyway.

Fair enough. So I am glad I am covered with OSR 2.5, glad to get a bit of a history lesson to understand it a bit better. I have heard of Second Edition, but never heard of OSR, probably because it was never released with retail. Yeah, that guide is great, it was very easy to follow and I ran into zero issues following it. The end result ended up rather smooth, it really is a great tutorial for Windows 95 specifically. I imagine I will wish for Windows 98 SE as well, but I am not really sure what machine settings should be modified or what files I will need beside the iso.

Brilliant indeed. That is exactly the problem, I have done the same thing for Quake and use it to make my CD audio function. You would be exactly right, it fails to read the audio CD portion in PCem, but works perfectly fine in DOSBox. This might be worth experimenting with. I can say my experience with PCem seems to be much better than the laggy mess that was Virtual Box. I never thought virtual drives could work so fluidly. This is how it should be done. Now I just need to play and get CD audio working.

Nods, Daum is the problem, since I cannot use the superior "dynamic" core setting and need to rely on auto. I will try increasing cycles again, I have done such in the past, but it causes severe lag issues. Perhaps changing it to a higher resolution and using those cycles would fix it, you need more cycles for a higher resolution, shrugs.

Another idea I thought of that I should try, OpenGL seems to fail in DOSBox for whatever reason (it is highly inconsistent, I had a streaming session where I spent an hour or two on just trying to get the video to work), but what if I add Direct3d functionality to DOSBox?

Really, if I can get PCem to pick up audio CDs, my headaches are gone. I should mention I have tested it with OBS, works perfectly. Of course, I can't get 800x600 that way either.
