My moniter is more than 3/4 times high as it is wide (about 13.25" x 10.75"), so DOSBox gives me letterbox mode with black bars on top and bottom. Changing the resolution settings doesn't help. Is there any way to fix this?
nothing to fix here, your monitor is just too high
next time buy even higher 🤣
unless you want to remove the huge black bars with aspect=true
Wait a second, I thought "aspect=true" was meant to preserve a game's original aspect ratio (so that 320x200 games are rendered as 4:3 instead of 16:10)?
Anyway, if your monitor has an aspect ratio setting, turn it off and play the game full screen at a normal (i.e. 640x480, etc) resolution. Or you can probably turn on GPU scaling (without aspect ratio) in your GPU drivers.
I've found that using scalers sometimes helps this (see the [render] section in the cfg).
Got mine set to 'scaler=normal3x forced'.
