        @Dragu Lol. Yes, I am Belgian, and proud of our wafers. ๐Ÿ™‚
        This version uses SDL2 indeed, but the 170417 too.

        Perhaps, it is possible to improve speed but it will take some time.
        My first priority was to solve the lag bugs problems with keeping the previous improvements: IPX network, joystick deadzones, virtual keyboard, ...

        So, I will request the merge of these modifications.

        Thank you again for testing.

          Belgian are also nice people. I am from Luxembourg and Gaufres de Bruxelles with strawberries and cream, mamph. ๐Ÿ˜‰ I just asking if you put virtual keyboard just for the use of keymapper or also inside games ? If last, very understandable that speed is lower. But also may be if the last is correct, to put an option to switch it on or off. This could save time for those not needing it.

            @dragu I prefer the "Gaufres de Liรจge" (nearest of Luxembourg, in fact).

            The virtual keyboard replaces a real keyboard in game (not in the mapper). But the overhead should be very low when not used (because it initializes at first opening).

            I think the activation of IPX can play a role: You can check in your configuration file if ipx is enabled and try to disable it if you don't want it (note that playing Doom between the Recalbox and your PC is an experience ๐Ÿ˜‰ ).
            Also, there were some updates of contributors which can also have an impact ! But very hard to analyze ...

              C'est les trucs costaux avec des cristaux de sucre dedans, non, je ne suis pas preneur. ๐Ÿ˜‰ Les fraises vont prendre la fuite...
              For dosbox.conf, the position ipx was not there from the beginning. I think as default the value is on false.

                I wanted to put this on a more professional level, so I digged in my benchmarks to find a 3D soft test for DOS, this one is pretty good and if you want I can put a link for a download. So I made the test with the 3 Dosbox versions we spoke about, the difference between the 18.03.30 version and the 2 other is a horror, but the last unstable pretty good. This test can also be interesting for different boards running the same dosbox version.

                  @Dragu Yep, I'm interested in the link. If it's free or shareware ... ๐Ÿ˜‰

                    Hi Laurent,
                    It is free. It was published by PC Player Magazine in 1996 and written by a game designer company where business stopped in 2004. It is somewhere aside from "Final Reality" (for windows) one of the rear early 3D benchmark tools. You can adjust the vga mode and by /mode you see them all. I used 800x600 8bpp what is I think about the max of early games. Just to unpack and install : PCPBench

                      @Dragu Hmmmm, on my RPI2, I have 2.5 with all versions: new and 17.04.17.
                      I also tested a modification but same result too ...

                      I will test on my XU ... perhaps a better hardware will give finer result !
