Hi folks,

Have sneaking feeling this has been answered before but haven't struck lucky with forum search or google.

Is there a dos command that will alter the game speed in dosbox?

Many of my games require differing game speeds, One way I do this is to make different .conf files for each game, and have a separate shortcut for that game, but that can become a pain having to create them, and if the installation gets borked I have to make them all over again.
Also if I want to use a DOS based menu launcher for the games this doesn't work.

Are there dos commands that I could incorporate into a batch file (within dosbox itself, not from windows) when launching a specific game that will set the speed to the correct value?

Eg:

1) I launch dosbox and get dosbox's command prompt.

2) I launch a batchfile which contains something like:

set dosbox cpuspeed=3000 cyles
cd ultima8
ultima8.exe

Thanks in advance
Jon
