I have recently begun recording game music using DOSBox, and it records just fine. (I changed the sample rate in dosbox.conf to 44100 for this purpose.)

However, there's just one thing that bothers me: changing the capture folder on-the-fly (using the config command) has no effect whatsoever when I record--it puts the recordings in C:\Program Files\DOSBox-0.73\capture anyway. (Changing the sample rate with config had no effect either, but I meant to change it in the conf anyway.)

The folders I specify do exist; I tried both making folders in DOSBox-0.73, and also subfolders in DOSBox-0.73\capture, and used the config command:

config -set "dosbox captures=newfolder"

But neither way made any difference; they just wound up in capture. I've never had trouble changing other settings during runtime (like CPU cycles). Can someone explain this?

Explanation: Not all settings can be changed during run-time.

I know that, but it said that it had changed; I used the config -get command, and it reported what I had changed it to.

Yeah but it's not used.

Thanks for the clarification. It's not that big a deal, since the recordings have the program name in the filename. But it would be more convenient.
