I don't see any flaws.
DOSBox-X 2025.01.01 release x64 SDL2 on Windows 10.

cd reon
reon

Understood. It's settings dependant problem with this game

if
[render]
aspect=true

if hangs on Dosbox-X.
Other Dosbox - normally

Starts/Works in Dosbox-X if
[render]
aspect=false

But it has clock speed issue on Dosbox-X

I'm not seeing any timing issues here. Your dosbox.conf shows you're using dynamic core and cycles = auto 90%

I'm using normal core and a fixed cycles count. cycles=30000 and core=normal.

[joncampbell123]

Also the game, but not the demo, is apparently not able to play sound effects.

EDIT: Checking I/O, the game is making NO attempt to talk to the Sound Blaster I/O ports.

@joncampbell123
Same problem at normal core and Demo version with effects
Cycles doesn't matter too

Also 30% it can hang up on intro screen.

No such problems on Daum or official Dosbox

@Corak667 Here on Linux, even using your dosbox.conf, I see no issues with the game and the demo. No overly fast movement or random slowdown or hangs.

Maybe this is a strange issue with the Windows build.

Can you try the various Windows builds, such as the MinGW versions vs the ones compiled with Visual Studio?

I'm pulling out my Macbook to see if the issue occurs on Mac OS builds.

[joncampbell123]

Nope. Runs fine on Mac OS builds.

[joncampbell123]

No issues here, VS2019 Windows build.

[maron2000]

Same report regarding aspect=true in 32-bit version was reported in #5349, which I can't reproduce even on Windows 7 as yours and #5349.
I see no speed issues as well.

Tested on latest commit (7da02c3) on Window 7 x86.

Yes, works normally on MingW builds.
It seems problem only with vsbuild-win32 i use mostly
