I just have DOSBox to play 1 game which works fine except for that I always have to manually adjust the cycles. I want to open the DOSBox 0.74-2 Options Batch file in dosbox so I can set it to this but all it does is tell me "This program cannot be run in DOS mode." I've searched a lot but nothing can tell me why this is happening or what to do about it. I have DOSBox on Windows 7. https://imgur.com/SYdKrq1

to change the cycles inside dosbox
just type
cycles=XXXX
where XXXX is what you want it to be

Thank you for the help. I was able to change the cycles to what they should be at for my game.
