		<summary type="html">&lt;p&gt;Created page with &amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039;CONFIG&amp;#039;&amp;#039;&amp;#039; can be used to change or query various settings of DOSBox during runtime.

&lt;p&gt;&lt;b&gt;New page&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;div&gt;'''CONFIG''' can be used to change or query various settings of DOSBox during runtime. It can save the current settings and language strings to disk. &lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
==Command line parameters==&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;CODE&amp;gt; CONFIG -writeconf localfile &amp;lt;/CODE&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;CODE&amp;gt; CONFIG -writelang localfile &amp;lt;/CODE&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;CODE&amp;gt; CONFIG -securemode &amp;lt;/CODE&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;CODE&amp;gt; CONFIG -set &amp;quot;section property=value&amp;quot; &amp;lt;/CODE&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;lt;CODE&amp;gt; CONFIG -get &amp;quot;section property&amp;quot; &amp;lt;/CODE&amp;gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;-writeconf localfile: Write the current configuration settings to file. &amp;quot;localfile&amp;quot; is located on the local drive, not a mounted drive in DOSBox. The configuration file controls various settings of DOSBox: the amount of emulated memory, the emulated soundcards and many more things. It allows access to AUTOEXEC.BAT as well.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;-writelang localfile: Write the current language settings to file. &amp;quot;localfile&amp;quot; is located on the local drive, not a mounted drive in DOSBox. The language file controls all visible output of the internal commands and the internal DOS.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;-securemode: Switches DOSBox to a more secure mode. In this mode the internal commands MOUNT, IMGMOUNT and BOOT won't work. It's not possible either to create a new configfile or languagefile in this mode. (Warning: you can only undo this mode by restarting DOSBox.)&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;-set &amp;quot;section property=value&amp;quot;: CONFIG will attempt to set the property to new value. Currently CONFIG can not report whether the command succeeded or not.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
;-get &amp;quot;section property&amp;quot;: The current value of the property is reported and stored in the environment variable %CONFIG%. This can be used to store the value when using batch files.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
Both &amp;quot;-set&amp;quot; and &amp;quot;-get&amp;quot; work from batch files and can be used to set up your own preferences for each game.&lt;br /&gt;
  &lt;br /&gt;
Examples:&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
1. To create a configfile in your current directory:&lt;br /&gt;
        config -writeconf dosbox.conf&lt;br /&gt;
2. To set the cpu cycles to 10000:&lt;br /&gt;
        config -set &amp;quot;cpu cycles=10000&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
3. To turn ems memory emulation off:&lt;br /&gt;
        config -set &amp;quot;dos ems=off&amp;quot;&lt;br /&gt;
4. To check which cpu core is being used.&lt;br /&gt;
        config -get &amp;quot;cpu core&amp;quot;&lt;/div&gt;</summary>
