Is there any way to set Dosbox to run on a widescreen monitor, without stretching the screen? I'd rather just run it at 4:3, and put up with having the black bars on each side.
You have entered a dark place. It is pitch black. You are likely to be eaten by a grue.
I know exactly what you're after!
Check your config file and set these settings:
[sdl]
fullscreen=true
fullresolution=0x0 (0x0 means it will use the native resolution of your LCD like 1920 x 1080)
output=openglnb
[render]
aspect=true
scaler=normal3x
Oh yes, that's perfect. I guess there's no easy way to toggle between them, short of re-editing the config file? It's not a big deal if there isn't, as I don't plan on changing it very often, and I can always keep a copy of various configurations in separate files, to paste in. This is perfect, thanks.

DOSBox's "-conf" parameter (see readme) lets you specify which config file you want to load. So a few batch files can definitely make your life easier.... or just use a frontend.
I can recommend D-Fend reloaded or DOSBox Game Launcher

These are front-ends and make using DOSBox really easy. Allows you to create various profiles with different configurations. Very neat and saves you a ton of time.
