Windows XP on 0.09MHz

[@thegreatcodeholio123]

DOSBox-X developer here. Just a fair warning, modern OSes like Windows XP and Linux on that era of hardware use the Pentium RDTSC instruction for timing, rather than the IRQ 0 system timer interrupt. DOSBox-X, just like DOSBox, emulates RDTSC using the cycle count you set, therefore changing the cycle count changes how fast the clock tick count RDTSC returns. Depending on the OS, that can screw up timing and scheduling. Be careful. In the original DOSBox, lowering the cycle count can even cause RDTSC to jump backwards which can really screw with OSes (DOSBox-X does some extra work to avoid that). If you need a consistent RDTSC tick rate there is a dosbox.conf option in DOSBox-X to emulate RDTSC at that fixed rate instead of the cycle count.

Good video. My concern is the emulation accuracy of dosbox vs say, real hardware or something like PCEM since dosbox is not built for accuracy.

Perhaps someone with an external clockgen could go and make it happen

It is also possible that the system makes calibration loops for busy waiting at the startup at 70 "MHz", making anything that would want to wait for some time be obonoxiously long not just due to lowered emulated performance, but also due to to the system wasting more cycles on nothing. All in all, it's just a stream of CPU instructions that shouldn't really care at which rate to run, this, period correct hardware from 2001 or a 14900KS @ 6.2 GHz. As long as no explicit time limits are programmed in, the software will run, provided it doesn't run out of memory or critical resource suddenly disappears (like a file that it wants to read)

What mouse cursor do you use on your main computer? I love it
