I've just installed and run DOSBox 0.74. The default resolution seems to be 640 x 400 pixels but I really need 800 x 600. i.e. 800 x 600 pixels, not just 640 x 400 magnified up. Apologies if this is a simple question, but I've searched high and low and whatever I do I get the original screen but magnified by some amount.
Please see the attachment "One" (at the bottom)
What I really want is for it to look like "Two" (at the top). (Although I've gone for 1280 x 800 here just for emphasis.) I've been trying:
fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
fullresolution=desktop
#windowresolution=original
windowresolution=1280x800
#output=surface
output=ddraw
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map
usescancodes=true
What I ultimately want to do is open and run some rather old VB3 programs I wrote about 20 years ago. I've managed to get that far but the programs assume a resolution of 800 x 600 so, as it currently stands, you only get to see the top left corner of the applications' screens.
