Anyway, that all works fine for the really old IBM PC and clones. Well there's also MESS, if you can find the correct bios roms. In my case, that ends up being around 300 cycles to approximate the slowest of those machines. The idea is to adjust your dosbox cycles to get as close as possible to a "1.00" ratio for the machine you want to emulate. It runs various tests and in the end outputs a "global performance" ratio for a few classes of machines: The way I do it for really ancient hardware is to use an old DOS benchmark program: MIPS.COM v1.20, by Chips and Technologies (1986). Do you just guess the number of dosbox cycles? Does your front-end program (if you use one) provide handy setting for various classes of machines? (XT, AT, 286, 386, 486.)

The fish can be set to 0 (none) 1 (one fish) or a higher number for more fish. Most of the settings which are not a fish can be either 0 (off) or 1 (on). Rename the original "settings.xml" file to "settings_bak.xml", and copy your edited "settings.xml" file into screensaver's install folder. Rather, copy the file to another location (like your Documents folder) and edit it there. You will need administrator permissions on your computer, and most likely you cannot directly edit the file in the folder.
