@gourd@indiepocalypse.social I used to run into issues with this on things like Warcraft 2 that would crash on a too fast system. It was quite annoying. As I recall, I actually underclocked my P2-233 down to 166 for DOS games like those to avoid crashing. (It could have been 133, but I think it wouldn't boot below 166 off the top of my head.)
Come to think of it, I wonder if ScummVM might run well enough on a P2-233 anyway?

@nazokiyoubinbou@urusai.social The biggest issue isn't CPU power for the emulation itself, ironically. It runs fine if choppy at native game resolution (320x200). The problem is the ScummVM UI brings the system to its knees to render until you turn off anti-aliasing (really), and then since ScummVM can't output below 480p it shows up as a tiny box in the center until you turn on scaling and that causes performance to tank too.
