i've got dosbox to appear on my tv (selecting my t.v as the second monitor using the composite lead from my tv to my graphics card)

the only problem is when i press F8 to go into full screen mode, it closes on my tv and goes to full screen mode on my PC monitor.

is there any way around this?

cheers

Fullscreen modes usually don't agree with multi-monitor setups. If you want to go fullscreen and have it appear on your TV, set up your second display as a Clone display (shows the same image on both screens).

and do not set output to overlay. (in clone mode)

Copy SDL.dll (ver 1.3) to dosbox directory, and then follow this link if you want to use the secondary monitor in fullscreen.

Set your TV as your primary display in Display Properties. Just select the checkbox that says "Use this as my primary display".
