Hey folks, it's me again... if you remember me anyway 😀

Cronologia by Cascada is a demo. It works fine, but the second part magically skips on DOSBox.
I've got DOSBox 0.72 in Windows XP SP2.
It actually works best with a fixed clock cycle around 5600 and 'simple' CPU mode. With higher clocks (or max) the demo will speed up crazy 😁
Remeber to press Esc to skip parts quickly.
You will notice that, after the second 'decrunching' intermission screen, a part is automatically skipped.

My own system and config: Asus P5 KSE mobo, 2 gb ddr2 RAM, 2.66 ghz core2duo CPU, eVGA nVidia GeForce 8800 GTX for graphics, rendering is to 'surface' in DOSBox conf, Realtek onboard sound and I use 'soundblaster' for the demo.

I've attached a copy to this post. You can also get it from scene.org.

Hmm, I tried debugging it and here's something funny I found:
If you pause (alt+pause) to the debugger right before part3 and do F5 to resume it doesn't skip part3.
Otherwise, it's kind of luck... 2 of 10 times it doesn't skip it.
Racing condition?
