No, i have 100% with default but it's the wrong speed, the correct speed is with RDTSC.
I core RDTSC in the window wolf32 version.
And i can't explain why my pc does this mistake of emulation. I am not programmer

It's all to do with timing. Whichever option works best depends on your system. Some perform better using QueryPerformanceCounter, and some are better using RDTSC.
QueryPerformanceCounter is a Windows API function used to manage high resolution timers. RDTSC (Read Time Stamp Counter) is a CPU instruction found on Pentium and later (and compatibles) CPUs. RDTSC is the higher resolution as it simply counts the number of cycles since power on. I also use RDTSC to approximate the system's CPU clock speed in WolfMAME.

If you want to see what i mean, here are two short inps (in the zip file) with and without RDTSC.
