Update: I have recently set up a Windows version of this wrapper. I put that together as a "get well" present for another friend of mine that had a seizure a couple of months ago (thankfully, she's fully recovered). It took quite a bit of doing, but the Windows version functions just as well as the …

So I've been working on configuring a DOSBox wrapper (Mac OS X only), which was provided by [edit by Dominus: removed Piratesite link], to run all the MS-DOS installments of ZeniMax Media's major franchises: Wolfenstein, Commander Keen, Doom, The Elder Scrolls, Heretic/Hexen, Quake, and Fallout. Not …

Good news, folks! I finally got Battlespire's resolution problem taken care of! I simply changed the wrapper's resolution to 800x500, and now Battlespire's a perfect 4:3 ratio from top to bottom without taking anything away from the other games in the wrapper. Thanks for all the help everyone's …

Okay, I tried the scaler=normal2x forced again, but in a different DOSBox wrapper that I presume runs a newer version of DOSBox. When I choose Battlespire, the screen is super zoomed in and the colors are all messed up.

The screen changes size to fit the game. Also, the colors on Battlespire get really messed up in windowed mode. I prefer keeping it fullscreen anyway.

Please, I just want to know how I can make it so that Battlespire is at a resolution of 320x240 when I play it in the wrapper, yet keep every other game in that same wrapper at 1024x640 when I play them. There are more than two dozen games in this wrapper, but Battlespire is the only game that has …

I didn't think my situation was necessarily exclusive to DOSBox. It just happens to be what I'm using. Besides, I can never figure what goes where on this site, due to the abstract naming convention. But I'll try doing what you're describing. If there are any other suggestions, please let me know.
