I've been trying to mess with the cycles number of a game run through DOSBox, but the fps is a bit higher than I'd like (one of the in-game speed settings is too fast while the others are too slow). I have cycle=auto, though according to the log, it always defaults to max, and the window only says "max 100% cycles" instead of a number. How do I determine how many cycles it decides as "max"? (A DOSBox cycles to fps converter would also be an acceptable answer.)

Why do you need to know this?

Benchmark a bunch of different cycle settings. I think you need to choose a well rounded benchmark, because, if I recall correctly, if you set cycles too high it will simply drop audio/frames.
