0mhz question

i didn't see a dedicated a0486 thread if there is one please move this there. So im having a issue running alone in the dark one. i installed dos 6.22 by hand and tried running it from a disk image i found. it starts but immediately freezes. i then tried running the 0mhz version which does run but the performance is painful. everything looks pixelated and i can tell its having a issue with running the game.

this was made for a pc at so a pc 486dx(more like 386) shouldn't have these kinds of issues. running it normally i may be having a ems issues but i did lower the ram amount also changed to a pc at at 25mhz still froze at launch.

i was trying to figure out what settings 0mhz is using to run the game and its not documented anywhere. i did find a batch it runs at boot which i don't fully understand but it seems to be disabling the l1 and l2 cache and setting the processor to 30mhz.
