Workaround to run 512x384 game fullscreen?

So, I have successfully got "The Museum of Anything Goes" working in Windows 3.1 inside of DOSBox.

The lowest resolution Win31 offers is 640x480, but it looks like this game was made for 512x384 because it plays with black bars all around the edge.

I don't expect there is a Win31 driver to run at 512x384, but is there some other workaround people use to make these small games fullscreen? Something like the windows magnifier, but then locks into place?

Is anybody playing 512x384 games fullscreen, or are you all just running them in 640?

512x384 modes were after Win3.1's time so there won't be a driver of the sort. - unless (in theory) there's a VESA 2.0-based one that'll take any mode......

Hi, that seems to be an old Mac screen resolution.
It was in use before 640x480 pixel became standard.
I suppose it was being used because the game was meant to be run on both MS Windows 3.1/95 and System 7.
