Mo'Slo v.1.2 from Dr.David's Super Crispy Software Copyright (c) David Perrell 1990,1993 Mo'Slo lets you to slow the speed of your computer to 1-99% of normal in 1% increments. To use it, you supply the name of the program you want to run slow as a commandline argument. Slowness is adjusted via a command line switch. If the switch is not supplied, Mo'Slo slows your computer to approximate a 4.77MHz PC/XT. Mo'Slo doesn't check the environment for path statements. You must give it the complete filename of the program to be run, including extension (COM, EXE or BAT), and a path if the file isn't in the current directory. (Since many games use other files to keep high scores, background bitmaps, etc., it's best to switch to the directory in which the game resides before running it.) You can also include commandline arguments to the program being called. To run pcgame.com at IBM PC/XT speed, enter: mo'slo pcgame.com To run at 8% normal speed, enter: mo'slo /8 pcgame.com When you exit pcgame, you'll exit Mo'Slo, and normal speed will be restored. (Mo'Slo doesn't affect the system clock -- it keeps on tickin'.) Mo'Slo won't slow a computer below its ability to operate. For a 4.77MHz PC/XT, 5% is minimum. A 20MHz '386 will run (crawl) at 1%. Mo'Slo without argument (or bad argument) gets you instructions. Mo'Slo works under PC/MS-DOS versions 2.0 and higher. Mo'Slo version 1.1 was posted on an L.A. BBS in 1990 in response to a complaint about the impossibility of winning at Pinball on a '386-25. Version 1.2 fixes a never-reported bug that could cause a crash or DOS instability on exit, improves the accuracy of the PC-XT emulation speed, and displays the % of normal speed to make it easier to adjust to taste. ********************************************************************* ******WHAT BRANDON'S DOS GAMES DATABASE RECOMMENDS DOING****** ********************************************************************* http://www.angelfire.com/games5/dosgames ********************************************************************* We have tried doing what they said above. This is what we recommend doing. Copy Mo'slo.exe into the directory of the game you want to play. That is the only way that we know of that will actually work. We guess that you must have mo'slo.exe in every game directory you wanna slow down. Because we tried the way above. No success. Everything else is the same. n= % that you want slowed down mo'slo /8 pcgame.com REMEMBER: the game extention must be one of the following; .com .exe .bat ********************************************************************* ============================ LICENSE ================================ 1.
