You noticed too?  That was the first thing I tried!  Now if my old 486 kicks the bucket, I won't have to worry as much!

Also, it's about 5x faster.  My brother's pentium 2 could barely run Lemmings 1, now it can run L2 full speed w/o frameskip!

Yep, Lemedit runs perfect with no frame skips. You can make movies too!

If you have tried that out, can you check roughly how much space do they take up per second of movie?

Something interesting from the readme:
Q: Can I set the cycles higher than my PC can handle during recording?
A: Yes. During recording, the game might play slowly and stuttering, but the
resulting movie should play at the intended speed and have no stuttering.

A 52 second movie takes 5.07 MB, so pretty hefty...

BUT, you can always recompress it in DivX or something.  At least what DOSbox makes isn't full uncompressed video-- a 2 minute movie of a Gameboy Advance game, uncompressed, was 700 MB.  :o

Hmm, did you have to do anything special (to the config file, etc.) to get sound to run?

Nah, you can just run it and go.  Just like it does on a real computer.

Download it from my site, run INSTALL.EXE, choose your soundcard options, and L3.BAT should run fine.

Oh wow. Sorry, I was being retarded. I thought you said Lemmings 3D. Oh well :P I've never played Lemmings 2 or 3, maybe I should try them...

Actually, Lemmings 3D has worked in DosBox for a while, I think.  I remember trying to play it on an older version, though it was VERY slow.  It didn't require tweaking though.
