I just tried a quick test with LORD2 for a minute and it seems fine.  No CPU issue or screen rendering issue that I can tell.

I've thought of trying to rig up something to use both dosemu and dosemu2, depending on which door is being started.  I have the dosemu2 package installed, so I might have to download & compile dosemu from source and have it in a different directory for that to work.
