      @Dragu Sorry to read that.
      After reading you, I converted my french disc for a test run.
      I do not think image is horrible (maybe it's because I played a lot of this game and that's the only version which is french dubbed) but it's sure less flattering than PC.
      On my version, enhancing screen resolution does nothing. Worse, sometimes, it's lagging. And the speed hack option just freeze the picture.
      OK for the text on the cinema ; the further you are, the worse it is.
      For those who wants to give it a shot, here's some screens (with scanlines).

        I also tried the french .bin. The screen on PSX was 5", and my screen is 19". So you can see the low resolution very good on bigger screen. But framerate is better as on dosbox. Anyway all this is retro because I also have somewhere the HD version. When the point is just on playing, this is for sure the best on PC.

          I can´t get this running -.-
          I used your bat file and after pressing 1 for play, it says "using Duke3d.grp" and starts with
          "compiling: Game.con"
          including: devs.con
          including user.con

          Than ist says multiple configuration files found
          dd.cfg
          duke3d.cfg

          Doesn´t matter which one i choose I end up on the start screen where i can choose 1, 2 or 3 again.

          What do I need to change the memory to 63? can´t find a row for that in dosbox.cfg

          Thanks

              For the configuration files, everything with .cfg behind attracts him.
              dd.cfg is without your modifications.
              dosbox.cfg, he should keep his nose out.
              duke3d.cfg is the right one,
              I also wait 9 seconds.

                @dragu Thanks for sharing.
                Now I´m using your bat and cfg files and it´s still the same.
                Strange. Maybe I should get another game and try again.

                  I can just help you with my DN 3D file list that I have on Recalbox.

                  Forget this with _ok behind 🙂 and /ten is ballast in our case.

                    Very late answer...

                    Thank again anyways.
                    turns out I´m missing the nukem3D.map.
                    Silly me -.-

                    Searching...

                      The map you must create by yourself. Is the file from the dosbox keymapper. 🙂
                      I can copy you mine, but as all buttons configurations are different, it will not help you, I think.

                        Oh ok, I thought the .map files are levels, since all fan maps you can load ar in that format.
                        I thought since Duke isn´t freeware but shareware it is missing the original levels and you have to buy it to get them.
                        I even tried to use one of them and renamed it to nukem3D.map.

                        By "you have to create ist yourself" you mean by configuring ingame and save it or manually create that file and fill it?
                        I created it myself and copied everything from above in it and it´s still the same.
                        -.-

                        That can´t be possible. Am I stupid?

                          The map file is only for the control, it doesn't prevent the game from running if it doesn't exist.

                            Yes, just dosbox controller configuration. That you can define by yourself if you push at the start of the game Ctrl+F1. But you dont yet are there.
                            You copy standard dosbox.conf to dosbox.cfg in "nukem3D.pc" and made the changements inside ?
                            If yes, another possibility is to start DUKE3D.EXE on the commandline. For this just safe your dosbox.bat somewhere and delete it in "nukem3D.pc" Maybe he would show you some error.
