Greetings

I'd like to play the good old Settlers I with my brother and we wonder if it would be possible to use a dual screen configuration with DosBox.

See the image what we mean:

Unless they actually code in a specific hack to allow for this, I don't think dosbox could do that. Neat idea, though! 😁

This doesn't have anything to do with dosbox. Does the GAME support dual screens in the first place? (hope you remember how many dual-screen systems existed in dos times)

I don't think the game supports dual screen. But thank you for your answers, we can now stop trying around in the DosBox config. Perhaps we find an other solution for this. 😁

Another solution: two chairs 😉

Seriously on OS X it could be doable by assigning the second monitor an extra space and moving the big dosbox window (not fullscreen) over the edge into the second monitors space.
This could be doable for Windows too.
