I am looking for DOSBox to display some information

Is it possible to show how many cycles DOSBox is using to run a game when cpu cycles is set to max? I read elsewhere that there might be a patch for this, but after much searching I can't find anything.

And is it possible to show what resolution a game is running (when resolutions are set to original and scalers none?)

cycles=max varies the cycles according to demand, so there's no equivalent fixed number.

This is the patch I was talking about:
DOSBox title bar - display actual cycle number for "max", "50%", etc.?

Thanks! Showed me just what I wanted to know.

Anyone got any suggestions about displaying resolution.

Yeah I knew it wouldn't be fixed. I just wanted to know what range of cycles a particular game was running at.

Debugger enabled build would help.
