It depends on the game as well. (more precisely on the complexity of the instructions used by the game) Hmm, do you mean that the amount of emulated cycles varies according to what programme is loaded into memory inside DOSBox (on the cycles=max setting that is), or that the performance of the …

Thanks for the swift reply. I'd be grateful though if you elaborated a bit. If the cycles=max function does work, then it does return some estimate (or exact value maybe?) from the actual hardware to DOSBox to emulate a certain amount of cycles accordingly, right? Or maybe there are rough estimates …

I've been wondering, is there any reliable way of inferring the maximum amount of CPU cycles DOSBox can emulate on a particular machine from its CPU clock rate? I'm using cycles=max since this feature had been first introduced, but I've never given any thought to how many cycles this actually is on …

Hello! While I generally don't use frontends, I find your project very appealing, especially for the bundled games feature, which IMO must be helping a lot to bring DOS games to a wider audience (taking into account that not everyone is willing to mess around with DOSBox settings on their own). …
