In fact im a n44b 😀
I've tried reading FAQ's and threads but I can't find an answer. You are almost always talking about a dosbox.conf file... But it don't exist in my dosbox directory T_T.

I've tried to create one with written in it: windowresolution=800x600 but it does nothing...

I just wish to have a bigger window... Better if in format 4:3 (i'm using a 16:10 LCD).

What should I do? Help a n44b please 🙁

Check the start menu, Programs should have a DOSBox 0.73 entry
where a configuration link is present.

Woot thanks! Yes my version is the 0.73
I've found it 🤣 But if i change the windowresolution nothing does happen...
I wrote windowresolution=800x600 (tryed with 800*600 too), the window remain the same...

Edit: I've tried a 3x scaler, the window is bigger but the format is still 16:10 🙁
