Using Oneplus 7 pro. Windows 98 emulated in Magic Dosbox free at the moment.

I have come a long way to get to where I’m at with this lol. There was no official tutorial for windows 98 so I used the windows 95 tutorial videos as a guideline and I’ve got windows 98 running very smoothly now and it rarely crashes. Now I’m trying to get Need for Speed II SE working. The game starts up and everything runs fine. When I enter a race, I can drive for maybe 2 seconds and the game crashes. But before it crashes, the game is perfectly smooth and has good fps.

I’ve been using these expert settings:

[dosbox]
machine=svga_s3
memsize=64
#Amount of video memory in megabytes (0-8).
#  The maximum resolution and color depth the svga_s3 will be able to display
#  is determined by this value.

#  1: 1024x768  at 256 colors or 800x600  at 64k colors
#  2: 1600x1200 at 256 colors or 1024x768 at 64k colors or 640x480 at 16M colors
#  4: 1600x1200 at 64k colors or 1024x768 at 16M colors
#  8: up to 1600x1200 at 16M colors

I’ve tried just about every combination of [dosbox] [render] and [cpu] settings. Cycles from 160000 to 230000 give me smooth gameplay. Any more or less and it starts to slowdown. Cycles max 125% seems to be the most consistent at letting me play the longest before crashing though. I’m thinking maybe I’m missing a driver? The game only requires directx 5 but I’ve also tried directx 6, 8, and 9.0c. Doesn’t seem to make much of a difference. I’ve also tried all sorts of resolution and color settings. I’m almost at a loss but I swear this is going to work. It plays too smoothly to think otherwise.

Anyone got any ideas that I can try? The only driver with a yellow ❗ next to it is PCI BUS. Not sure if that matters? Can I try the scitech display doctor beta 7 video adapter? The game does run fine in virtualbox and vmware windows 98 from my computer.
