Issues fixed
- This is usually caused by saving your settings after choosing the Sega control option.
Cursor moves on its own
This is caused by choosing the joystick control option and then restarting the game without it. Either reattach a controller or delete STARGUN.CFG
.
Cutscenes run too slow
Ensure you are using cycles=30000
(see Run in DOSBox) and Refresh Rate is set to Fast in-game.
Game speed problems (runs too fast, randomly slows down or speeds up)
Ensure you are using cycles=30000
(see Run in DOSBox).
