Hang when running Performance Test
The CD-ROM release has an option to run a Performance Test. If you run this under DOSBox you may experience that the game hangs. The hang can be prevented by changing the DOSBox CPU core emulation mode from the default 'core=auto' (which equals Dynamic) to either the slower "core=normal" or "core=full" mode.
When running the DOSBox-X fork, the hang can also be prevented by setting "use dynamic core with paging on=false".
