I am developing a frontend for DosBox, after looking at the source, it doesn't seem to have fixed resolutions like 800x600, 1024x768, etc ...

Does that mean it can address any non-standard resolution, like 1000x1000 ?

If not, what are the authorized ones, otherwise can I safely use these ones depicted here ? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/File:Vector_Vide … _Standards2.svg

Thank you !

DOSBox the program can use any resolution the host is capable of.
