In DOSBox, it's not supposed to look any different (possibly slightly more/less blurry depending on your settings), but not to the point where there is any noticeable change in quality.

Not getting the effect you want or expect doesn't mean it's not working. Just that your expectations are off a bit from DOSBox reality.
Note that these scalers will generally show any effect only when running low-resolution games (e.g. something running in 320x200 or 320x240) unless you force them to operate (which is generally not a good idea).
