Public bug reported:
16-bit DOS games are unplayable in the 64-bit version of Dosbox.
GoG.com games come with a 32-bit version of Dosbox, and this runs
excellently.
On Ubuntu, the 32-bit version also runs excellently. The 64-bit version
lags immensely and makes games unplayable.
Dosbox and its associated libraries should be made available on 32-bit
always and be excempt of the no-packaging-32-bit in the future to begin
with.
The 64-bit version should really be removed from the repos and 32-bit
Dosbox packaged as the 64-bit version, with accompanying libraries, just
like libc6-i386 is factually a 64-bit package (amd64).
