Hi all

Just a small question. I'm wondering is there a command-line argument that could be passed to dosbox to change the cpu_speed.

I'm creating a addition to emuControlCenter for the IBM PCjr. I would like to change the speed from the command-line as it would be easier to code.

In case he means the command line inside of DOSBox, you can do it like this:

cycles <whatever>

In fact, a lot of the settings in dosbox.conf can be set from the "DOS" prompt inside DOSBox by typing their name followed by a value:

cycles 1000
core dynamic
scaler none

etc.
