Try "cycles xxx" where xxx = numeric value

Didn't see that in Z:\, HELP, or INTRO. Thanks DosFreak!

you see it in the manual

you see it in the manual

Really? Because 'grep -i "cycles" README.txt' disagrees, and it's not discussed in the "CPU Cycles" section of the manual, where most people would look.

Glad DosFreak helped him out though. I'd be happy to add the lines to manual if folks want.

unless you would like to describe every single line of .conf file all over the manual (also explaining for many of them that they require saving .conf first and dosbox restart to work and saving .conf from inside of dosbox is not really easy on most often used configurations (winvista/7).
By the way, quickly entering window mode and back is way easier than typing so not much use for this particular setting i think

But I think I will try modifying DOSBoxManual.html#CONFIG section of the readme with some more info indeed.

thanks for noticing

The question was not about the config file but about a dos-command with the ability to change this emulator setting. And I think this would be really useful, espacially for creating batch-files to start the individual games installed in dosbox 😀 As I can already mount the correct .iso from the .bat, it would be just consequent to also set the needed cycles value.

Read the thread and the links.

Uhm, i understand robertmo's posting as it was necessary to restart dosbox when using this command, but if that's not the case then the request really seems void..

yes it is void request as we support it already
