Why won't DOSBox run in 256 colors mode? If you try that, you will get "Exit to error: SDL:Can't set palette".

No t supported.
I wonder why you are forced to use 8 bit (256 color) mode anyway... You must have a very old computer. But in that case DOSBOX will probably run for your too slow anyway...
Use 16 (the best performance) or 32 bit color modes. Do not use 24 bit color modes (it works, but it is slow).

maybe it works if you go to fullscreen directly.

It works if you set the "SDL_VIDEODRIVER=windib" variable. Use a batch file if you only want the variable temporarily.
