Enlarging the size of the screen

My wife loves to play her dos games in DOSBox but the playing area is so small (about 1/6 the size of the screen) that it makes playing hard sometimes. Is there any way to enlarge the game to the size of the screen (full screen) or at least make it larger than it is now? Thanks in advance for your …

Re: missing z prompt

We just played Jazz Jackrabbit and it worked perfectly. Thank you again. I will follow your advice and not bother with the other. My wife asked me to ask you if there is any way to increase the size of the playing window. It now occupies only about 1/6th of the screen.

Re: missing z prompt

THANK YOU, THANK YOU, THANK YOU! Using "overlay" worked! I don't know why it went from working to non-working but thanks to everyone's help I have the multi-coloured Welcome to DOSBox v0.74 and especially my z prompt back. Now for 2 other questions. First, will there ever be an upgrade (perhaps a v0 …

Re: missing z prompt

Thank you for your repeated responses. Are there numerical values associated with the "valid values"? Do I just plug in numbers to see what happens or do I write, one at a time, "surface", "overlay" "opengl", "openglnb" and "ddraw"? Since I don't know what those terms mean I have no idea what to do …

Re: missing z prompt

I found what you said but I don't know any values. Please show me some examples to try exactly as you would do it if it were you with my situation. As it says under my name, Newbie. I am winging it the best I can but really don't know anything other than what you tell me. Please do not assume I know …

Re: missing z prompt

Oh, you have nothing there. I‘d suggest edit the config and try different output settings. Great. Are you talking about the DOSbox 0.74 Option.bat file? Please give me some sample output settings I can try. Please give them to me exactly so I can copy them as they should be to do the job. Is there …

Re: missing z prompt

I deleted the %LocalAppData%\DOSBox folder. No change. There is still no z prompt. Is there another program that would do the same job as DOSBox? My wife has tons of dos games that she now can not play. Would an earlier version of DOSBox work? What is your best solution to my (my wife's) problem? …

Re: missing z prompt

It didn't work. I tried what you suggested from the start menu and also went into the DosBox folder and double clicked on Reset Options.bat and that did not work either. What's the next thing I should try? (by the way, I appreciate your help).

missing z prompt

HELP!!! When I first loaded DoxBox on my Windows 10 computer it worked perfectly. Within 2 weeks, when I would bring it up it would load but without a z prompt. I uninstalled it and reinstalled it from the original compressed file I had used the first time. Still no z prompt. I uninstalled it again, …
