Hm, diablo 2 worked with normal core, do you have svn core off?

[Larrynho]

For me , runs in normal core and dont put the CPU type on Pentium, causes freezes and crashes.

I’ve set these two values under [cpu] in expert settings, works best for me:

cputype=pentium_slow
isapnpbios=true

You can also try my Diablo 1 profile, it also works for Diablo 2. All you need to do is adjust the mounting in expert settings.

Thanks guys,
I tried all your solutions, however still with no luck. Here is what my custom settings are set to. I would love to try someone else is working images. however I don’t think that’s going to happen due to copyright reasons ? it’s strange that every other game I install seems to be working ok with no problems. I’d love to see how Diablo 2 works on my Rooted S10+snapdragon……..

I noticed you said you installed the diablo 2 expansion. Diablo 2 only seems to run 1.05 or lower. Think it’s a direct x issue. You would need windows xp to run the expansion (1.07 is the lowest xpac version). So you can only run vanilla diablo 2 in MDB.

Thanks, added it to the list. Looks like these new midrange cpus (Exynos 9610 too) are really very good for emulation.?

Hello everyone! I’m new to this nostalgia fun thanks to magic dosbox.
I’ve benchmarked old tablet Google Nexus 7 (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Nexus_7_(2012)).
Rom updated to: Android 7.1.2 (crDroid 7.1.2 20180618-grouper-v3.8.8)
Result is 2894 realtics.

Looks pretty slow but most dos games I’ve tested so far works very well:
– prince of persia 1 and 2,
– flashback,
– wizardry 6 and 7,
– robinson’s requiem,
– the lord of the rings vol.1 and vol.2,
– ultima 7,
– lands of lore 1,
– albion,
– dreamweb,
– prisoner of ice
– ultima underworld 1 and 2

The only ones that I’m not satisfied with for now are:
– Lands of lore 2 requires low settings to work fluently,
– Daggerfall – hardly playable on full screen and full settings. I guess it is about 15fps.

Next step is to read how to run windows 98 and then diablo and fallout…but probably my tablet will die on these ;).

No kidding, that’s actually pretty good, considering it’s a 2012 device. You should be able to play games like Warcraft 2 without any issues. Win95/98 will be rather painful to operate, though. But as a proof of concept, just give it a go. 🙂
