DOSBox Configuration

# DOSBox Staging 0.81.0 config for streaming speedruns of Monkey Island 2: LeChuck's revenge on low-end hardware.


# Streaming-friendly window resolution and shader.

[sdl]
windowresolution = 960x720

[render]
glshader = sharp


# Load times are nearly eliminated at 200k cycles. The difference between 100k and 200k is already very small. The 350k I use are basically a placebo. Dynamic core is the most important performance setting.

[cpu]
core = dynamic
cycles = 350000


# Mouse settings are personal preference.

[mouse]
mouse_capture = onstart
mouse_middle_release = true
mouse_sensitivity = 60,50
mouse_raw_input = true
dos_mouse_immediate = true


# Appropriate reverb and chorus presets for PC Speaker audio. Slightly increased audio latency to battle crackling audio during streaming.

[mixer]
blocksize  = 1024
prebuffer  = 40
crossfeed  = off
reverb = tiny
chorus = light


# Disable all the unused parts of the emulation. Only enable PC Speaker audio. Various cutscenes are significantly longer with other audio options (even "none").

[midi]
mididevice = none
mpu401 = none

[sblaster]
sbtype = none
oplmode = none

[gus]
gus = false

[speaker]
pcspeaker = discrete

[joystick]
joysticktype = disabled

[dos]
ems = false

[ethernet]
ne2000 = false


# Adjust volume. PC Speaker audio is very loud.
# Set keyboard repeat rate as high as necessary and repeat delay as low as possible. rate=21 is 11 characters per second, which is enough to get an input every game frame while you hold down a key. Requires the MODE.COM program, which used to come with MS-DOS. Just get the FreeDOS version.
# Autotype the enter input after 1 second. This picks the copy protection prompt that we want. Then autotype in the code after 0.8s for convenience.
# Launch the game with the "i" parameter to enable PC Speaker audio.

Monocle RNG Manipulation

On DOSBox, to guarantee the fastest monocle drop, press Esc on the fifth set of symbols during the Copy Protection prompt. Duck foot and pig feet. 25 31. You can pause the game repeatedly to easily select the correct symbols and then hold Esc to unpause. You still need to stop Guybrush as early as possible after entering Wally's place to make this work.

I recommend watching LeoLitz's explanation of LeChuck's AI first:

One correct answer is missing, because I ran out of patience.

Dialog Inputs

I mapped all of this out when I was making the TAS, so might as well put it on here. It's probably mostly useful to double-check if you're using the correct answers or if there is an Esc skip in the middle of some dialog. Some left overs from old routes in here, too.
