Use of dosbox.conf
-
I know that conf files can now be started directly from the ES. Nevertheless, the question, if I store a dosbox.conf in the directory of the respective game, will it be used and read automatically (e.g. when the exe is started)? Or do I have to start the game via the conf file so that the values that I store in it are used?
If I use cycles=auto, will the game be played with a suitable speed or is there a default value for old games like Might & Magic 1?

No, it's not going to be read automatically.

Some older games need a fixed
cycles, since they assumed the CPU speed will be fixed. You'll have to experiment and see, ifautois not working correctly, then start with a fixedcycles(5000) and add more until it works fine.
