Actually, it depends on the output method. surface and ddraw simply collapses DOSBox into the Windows task bar. overlay crashes it. Haven't tried the opengl methods.

If I use fullscreenresolution=original DOSBox crashes and burns and asks me if I want to send a bug report to Microsoft.

Fix to settings.conf: The fullresolution=0x0 setting (for automatically selecting the full screen resolution) is missing. A neat hack is to define the valid list of fullresolution settings like this: fullresolution=original 320x200 # 16:10 640x480 # 4:3 800x600 # 4:3 1024x768 # 4:3 1280x768 # 16:10 …

I would be suspicious of the upper-case 'H' in Hq2x. Better play it safe and use hq2x. If you are doing anything to the GUI, how about automatically calculate and display the ratio (4:3, 16:10, 5:4, ...)? Maybe with a warning if some out-of-whack ratio is chosen? A suggestion to enable aspect …

Seems to work, so it must be implemented, but not documented.

60 Seconds Guide to DOSBox. Instead of using the mount command for your CD-images, use imgmount (described in the README). If that doesn't help, come back with details on how you mounted your C and D drives, how you did the install, how you configured sound, music etc.

I have DOSBox installed on an USB stick in order to easily demonstrate it for friends. Works fine. I have one problem though. If I overshoot on the fullresolution setting (e.g. set it to 1920x1200, while the system can only handle 1680x1050) games won't run. So I wondered, would it be possible to …

Most people don't want to have DOSBox fixed to do the right thing. All they want is to have to do what they believe is the right thing for their game on their display with their graphics adapter using their version of SDL on their OS. If people really wanted DOSBox to be fixed, they would start to …

Overlay is my preferred method too. I don't know much about Ubuntu/Linux so.... Give the thread a few days before you mark it solved. Who knows, someone on an Ubuntu box with the same graphics card might come by.

Zooming... I think you need to select a scaler for that. Like scaler=normal3x. I many cases the scaler will not 'kick in' if the game is already running in one of the (back then) hi-res VGA modes like 640×480. In that case you can force the scaler to be active by appending a 'forced' to the setting, …

Sounds very much like what I do with Wing Commander III: Installing and running Wing Command III is something of a hack with this (and any other frontend?). I have 4 CD-images with the game files on my physical G-drive. Since I need to swap between them, I prefer to mount them using the IMGMOUNT …

I guess you need to start setting fullresolution=original or fullresolution=WIDTHxHEIGHT so DOSBox knows how big your fullscreen is. Next, aspect=true so it won't overstretch the graphics. And finally fullscreen=true Maybe.........
