Adjusting the speed of DOSBox in VSCode

In this tutorial, we will learn how to adjust the speed of DOSBox in VSCode. It can seem quite tricky because the provided settings doesn't seem to work. (This may be fixed in the future, but for now, this is the only way I know of.) Increasing the speed of DOSBox can reduce the flickring significantly So try it out. If you won't to try it temporarily, you can just use the cycles in dosbox by clicking ctrl + F12 a few times until you get the desired speed.

Steps to adjust the settings

  1. Find the setting file for DOSBox in VSCodes settings.

    • Find the vscode extension folder.
      • Windows: C:\Users\YourUserName\ .vscode\extensions.
      • macOS: ~/.vscode/extensions.
      • Linux: ~/.vscode/extensions.
    • Locate the vscode-dosbox folder.
    • navigate to emu/dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf.
    • (If you can't find the file, try to run the emulator once and it should appear.)

  2. Change the cycles value to max.

  3. Change any other settings you want. and save the file.
