I can no longer get the whole DOSBox-X to run slower when I use Mo'Slo to slow down Norton Commander #3923

Describe the bug

Once upon a time, I could easily get all the software, at once, even the entire command prompt, to run slower (or vice versa) than they would under the when-and-then configuration, just by using Mo'Slo to make NC.EXE run slower. Obviously I can't do that now, at least not on my PC/device, but I can get one software at a time, like older CGA games, like Donkey Kong, to run slower. I know I can adjust the speed with F11 and F12, but I prefer to use the good old Mo'Slo, which I'd rather only prefer to have on C:>.

Steps to reproduce the behaviour

If you have both Norton Commander and Mo'Slo in the same directory, type for example "MOSLO /15 NC.EXE" on the command prompt, then test any software, like for example the Donkey Kong CGA game.

Expected behavior

I expect the whole DOSBox-X to run slower or faster after changing the speed of Norton Commander with Mo'Slo.

You know, you can just change the speed with the config command, if you want to automate it from DOS scripts.

e.g.,

config -set cycles=750

@rderooy Sure enough, it worked!
