208.101.114.95: removed title to fit in dosbox.conf wiki page better

The CPU section controls how DOSBox tries to emulate the CPU, how fast the emulation should be, and to adjust it. DOSBox offers 4 differents methods of ((/cpu/core/Intro|CPU emulation)).

=== core = [[/cpu/core/simple|simple]] | [[/cpu/core/normal|normal]]| [[/cpu/core/full|full]] | [[/cpu/core/dynamic|dynamic]] | auto ===
[[/cpu/core/Intro|CPU core]] used in emulation. '''auto''' switches to '''dynamic''' if appropriate.

Default is '''auto'''.

=== cycles = ''nnnn'' | max | auto ===
Amount of instructions DOSBox tries to emulate each millisecond. Set to '''max''' to automatically run as many cycles as possible. '''auto''' setting switches to '''max''' if appropriate.

'''OBS:''' Setting this higher than your machine can handle is bad!

Default is '''auto'''.

=== cycleup = ''nnn'' ===
Amount of cycles to increase with [[SpecialKeys|keycombo]].

Default is '''500'''. Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

=== cycledown = ''nnn'' ===
Amount of cycles to decrease with [[SpecialKeys|keycombo]].

Default is '''20'''. Setting it lower than 100 will be a percentage.

208.101.114.95: Firxed title, so it would fit in Dosbox.conf wikipage better

The rendering (drawing) section controls methods that DOSBox uses to improve the speed and quality of the graphics displayed on the screen. E.g. it can "forget" (skip) the every 3rd screen update (which will save time), or it can try to smooth out some of the coarse low-resolution graphics that was used on old displays, but which looks bad when shown on a modern, high-resolution screen.

=== frameskip = ''nnn'' ===
How many frames DOSBox skips before drawing one.

Default is '''0'''.

: {{:AboutFrameSkips}}

=== aspect = true | '''false''' ===
Do [[/render/aspect|aspect correction]].

Default is '''false'''.

=== scaler = '''[[Scaler#normal2x|normal2x]]''' | [[Scaler#normal3x|normal3x]] | [[Scaler#advmame2x|advmame2x]] | [[Scaler#advmame3x|advmame3x]] | [[Scaler#advinterp2x|advinterp2x]] | [[Scaler#advinterp3x|advinterp3x]] | [[Scaler#tv2x|tv2x]] | [[Scaler#tv3x|tv3x]] | [[Scaler#rgb2x|rgb2x]] | [[Scaler#rgb3x|rgb3x]] | [[Scaler#scan2x|scan2x]] | [[Scaler#scan3x|scan3x]] ===

Scaler used to enlarge/enhance low resolution modes.
:normal: nearest-neighbour scaling (big square pixels)
:scan: like normal, but with horizontal black lines
:tv: like scan, but with darker versions of data instead of black lines
:advmame: smooths corners and removes jaggies from diagonal lines
:advinterp: identical to advmame
:rgb: simulates the phosphors on a dot trio CRT

Default is '''[[Scaler#normal2x|normal2x]]'''.

Other scalers need added here: none, hq2x, hq3x, 2xsai, super2xsai, supereagle
