Star Control 2 and a bunch of Epic's pinball games. Crusader series (excellent).

Set output to something else besides surface. Then set fullresolution to your desktop's resolution (or 0x0, which is shorthand for that).
Re: Newbie Question - how do I change the window size?
Posted on 2009-10-16, 03:22
The answer is not in the readme file. Instead, it is in the config file. Set output to something else besides surface. Then set windowresolution to whatever you want (say, 800x600).

It's available from the Start Menu Dosbox folder. Manually you can find it in c:\users\yourusername\local settings\application data\dosbox

Long story short: Start menu -> Programs -> Dosbox -> Configuration -> Edit Configuration
Re: Run a DOS application directly from windows

Yes. Make a unique config file for each game, put the game's required startup stuff in the autoexec section, then make a shortcut to "dosbox.exe -conf yourgame.conf" where yourgame.conf corresponds to the game that you are launching from the shortcut.
Re: Fullscreen or high-res window option in DOSbox?
Posted on 2009-09-23, 12:31
You shouldn't need a scaler (i.e. scaler=none should work) if you use any other output= except surface. As long as your fullresolution= matches your desktop (i.e. if your desktop is 1600x1200 then use fullresolution=1600x1200 or fullresolution=0x0 - 0x0 is shorthand for using the same mode as …

You can also use output=ddraw and output=overlay.

Maybe this is related? Mouse sensitivity changes between windowed and fullscreen

Star Control 2 and its free version Ur Quan Masters come with a program called KEYJAM.EXE which you can use for testing keyboard combos (see which keys can be pressed at the same time).

I've attached the config with which I just installed and successfully ran Privateer (with only joystick 1 calibration). If this config works for you, feel free to compare it to your own and post the differences here to tell others what made it fail. I inserted the Privateer CD (includes RF and …

What did you say?? Privateer's support for joystick is bad?? Playing Privateer with mouse?? It's not bad. It's terrible. It's impossible to aim carefully, because if your aim is a bit off and you try to compensate by slightly moving the joystick in one direction, the aim either doesn't change at …
Re: mouse problem in Privateer
Posted on 2009-09-16, 12:39
You need to use joysticktype=2axis. If you use 4axis or auto, Privateer will see two joysticks - the additional axes (throttle and rudder) show up as an additional joystick. Also, I suggest playing Privateer with the mouse. The joystick input is very bad in that game (it's not gradual - it works in …
Re: mouse problem in Privateer

Privateer requires joysticktype other than none (with "none" ingame music plays at half speed) and timed=false (otherwise your cursor will drift and you can't calibrate your joystick correctly). You don't need to have a real joystick plugged in though.
Re: help, black GAP on Dosbox fullscreen mode...(with scrshot)
Posted on 2009-09-05, 11:23
You can try setting fullresolution=1024x768 and some other output besides surface. Then you need to set your video card to scale to full screen or let your display scale it. See the nvidia control panel. And keep aspect=true.
Re: Getting full-screen display on a wide-screen monitor
Posted on 2009-09-03, 22:50
Play around with dosbox.conf Specifically, set output=opengl (or ddraw, openglnb or overlay), aspect=true, and fullresolution=0x0 or whatever your display's native resolution is.
Re: desynch in games

By the way, "SDL 1.2.6 has added experimental retrace-synchronized software "flipping". You access it by using SDL_DOUBLBUF|SDL_HWSURFACE|SDL_FULLSCREEN passed to SDL_SetVideoMode. SDL_Flip() will return immediately and the flip will be performed asynchronously in a separate thread." so …
Re: desynch in games
Posted on 2009-09-02, 17:42
I am pretty sure to have seen some tiny example code (in Turbo Pascal) done by someone in the demo scene to enable VSYNC. Maybe someone did make a TSR. You can't enable v-sync from inside Dosbox via a TSR because it's caused by SDL or the graphics drivers. hm it works with that no desynchronization …
Re: Problem with Terminator: Future Shock.
Posted on 2009-09-01, 21:00
Are you using the upgraded version (i.e. Skynet with Future Shock high-res option)? I got stuck in the same place and the only way to go forward was to play the original Future Shock version of that mission or skip the mission with a cheat code in the upgraded version. PS. It's probably not a Dosbox …
