I just started messing around with DOSBox last night and have had some success but some drawbacks. I was curious what other people have found to work well on it.

So far I have all the Commander Keens working flawlessly. The problem is I barely have enough buttons, and in order to save I had to sacrifice the ability to quit, so I have to restart the dingoo every time I'm done. And i haven't bothered with a reset button yet I really need to do that..

Hovercraft 3D is working fine as well, its neat that I can go around showing people the very first FPS even though its a pretty dull game.

Catacomb Abyss is really laggy...At first I was afraid it wasn't going to work because when I would start a new game the graphics would go crazy and the dingoo would lock-up. After making a save on my computer and loading rather than starting a new game i'm able to play, but its really slow, and I haven't thought of a way to have enough buttons to save.. I'm probably going to have to sacrifice strafing.

Jazz the Jackrabbit runs really slow as well. The gameplay lagged even OCd to 450mhz, core cycles set to max, and FS set to 2. I was really dissappointed I loved this game as a kid.:( Any tips on getting it to run at full speed?

Anyone else been playing around with DOSBox, maybe figured out any tricks on mapping all the keys you'll need for a game? I'm having a lot of fun messing with it, but its a tedius process to get these games working...
