How to increase size of DOSBox window?

Tags:

dosbox

I am running Turbo C on DOSBox in Ubuntu 12.04.

The problem is that two black stripes are coming on either of screen. I want to remove them.

My computer is a Dell Studio 15z with screen resolution 1366x768. I don't have a problem even if distortion occurs.

Relevant part of my dosbox.conf file:

[sdl] fullscreen=true fulldouble=false fullresolution=1366x768 windowresolution=1366x768 output=overlay autolock=true sensitivity=100 waitonerror=true priority=higher,normal mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map usescancodes=true

How do I change the fullscreen resolution in DOSBox?

Use fullscreen=true for full screen. Use fullscreen=false for DOSBox in a window. Change fullresolution=original to fullresolution=desktop. When using a window, change windowresolution=original to windowresolution=1280x1024 (or use 1024x768 for a smaller window)

How do I create a DOSBox in 1920x1080?

These settings can be changed by opening the DOSBox Options from the Start menu. Open the dosbox. conf file via the Start menu. First, I change the line that says fullresolution=original to fullresolution=1920x1080 , which is my monitor's native resolution.

Alt + enter works.

How do I reduce DOSBox?

Alt + Enter is to switch from full screen to small.

  • go to dosbox installation directory (on my machine that is C:\Program Files (x86)\DOSBox-0.74 ) as you see the version number is part of the installation directory name.

  • run "DOSBox 0.74 Options.bat"

  • the script starts notepad with configuration file: here change

    windowresolution=1600x800

    output=ddraw

(the resolution can't be changed if output=surface - that's the default).

  • safe configuration file changes.
