Re: Video capture aspect ratio problems

Posted on 2010-03-16, 09:19

in DOSBox General
320x200 games are always 4:3 even though the video mode has pixels in a "16:10" ratio. CRT monitors don't see the horizontal pixel count, so they basically treat everything as 4:3. LCD monitors, on the other hand, see all the pixels (when using DVI) and might treat it as widescreen video instead, …

"ripa for eliminating black bars you just set aspect=false" That only works for games that are 320x200 (or similar video modes with non-square pixels) or displays that are 16:10. Example: your display is 1280x720 (16:9 aspect ratio, square pixels) and you play System Shock with fullresolution= …

"By the way, there's another problem, when I turn on the fullscreen mode using Alt-Enter, the game freezes completely. If someone knows how to fix this problem too, it would be very nice." In dosbox's config file, change output to opengl or overlay.

Re: Framerate lock?

Dosbox always maintains 60 Hz or 70 Hz depending on the video mode set by the emulated program, unless demand is too high for the host CPU. In other words, Dosbox is already locked to a particular framerate. With fixed cycles, as long as the host CPU can keep up, the program should run the same way …

Run it (doubleclick, or rightclick->merge) to add the information to the registry (it modifies .exe and exefile keys under HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT). I've got Windows XP, but it …
