So there's not a million customizable settings and a lot of proprierty speed unit settings that make all these other slow down programs complicated?

I've heard from other people that MoSlo deluxe was pretty good, but I thought it was just like all the other slow down utilities out there. If this one is easy to use AND actually works, then i'd surely buy it. I don't want to use a program that's difficult to configure, especially between games.

Have you tried "throttle" yet?

Some time ago I also decided to purchase moslo deluxe. It says paypal somewhere, but in the actual checkout I can only select creditcard. I don't have a creditcard... 🙁

The shareware version is OK, but after some days it gives an expiration reminder screen. It doesn't allow passing of parameters and it only allows a percentual slowdown setting, as in 15% of current system speed.

Moslo uses many methods to slow down a PC, it is not unlikely that it also uses the 'throttle' method.
With Throttle I noticed issues with music and sound speed and also with palette fading and smooth scrolling.

I found it easy to use!

there are handy switches for running it:
/p1 = 8088 speed
/p2 = 286/12 speed
/p3 = 386/25 speed
/p4 = 486/50 speed
/p5 = pentium1/166 speed

so you just run for ex. moslo /p3 wolf3d.exe and it runs wolf3d with 386 speed 😀
I cross-checked with SysInfo and the switches actually give the above speeds 😀

Amigo...
If it works with Wing Commander 1 I'm convinced and will buy a license 😁

only one way to find out!
will try it in a while... wc1 does not load at all? what is it's prob?

Is the WC1 game one of those very difficult games to get running on anything greater or equal to a 486?

You hardware is probably too "new" for the origin game
Origin hadn't invented their warning during the game install that your hardware is too fast/good like they did in later games 😵

OK I tried it... what a bitchy game!!!
first of all you must not use EMS at all, it screws up the mouse movement in all game EXCEPT the fly mission part...
so I just used: moslo /p3 /r (to make it resident) and played under XMS configuration... mouse was a little jerky in menus but in-flight mode was OK as far as I can tell... it was not lightning-fast and pretty playable...
next test is to see if moslo behaves better with an intel cpu and a pci vga (tested with a voodoo3/agp)

hehe, wanna join the I-like-Wing-Commander-games-but-hate-Original-Club? 😉

maybe moslo will work ok if I put it on my 486/100 machine for this particular game... I will try that later , still need to install a HD...
I have also tried with 286 speeds, still OK but I cannot really judge... I need to run it on my 386/20 pc to find out if moslo does a good work with it!
