You should ask this question in the proper forum, but you can see the game fullscreen I think. Mess around with the dosbox.conf file like this, not sure if this will work:

fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=Original (I think this is the one you need)
windowresolution=Original

Haven't used DosBox for a while but I did always get it to fill the screen.

maybe i'm using the wrong resolution?
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=true
fullresolution=Original
windowresolution=Original
output=overlay
because it use some of screen, but not all of screen.
if i use 'overlay' the image is showed on from top of screen(black border on bottom). if i use other output i will get the blck border on top.
what you can tell me more?

the problem remains:
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=desktop
windowresolution=desktop
aspect=false
output=overlay
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map
usescancodes=true
the width resolution isn't all screen

You need to set "output" to some value with scaling, e.g.:

surfacenp -- near-perfect scaling via oversampling;
surfacenb and openglnb -- nearest-neighbor scaling.

Also, "fullresolution" is not only true or false. You can give a fixed resolution here to optimize display and scaling.

Either be happy with a distorted image with a small black bar or a fairly accurate image with large black bars. Pick one.

I am also trying to do this. I tried so many different options and I can't get rid of the side bars either.
I do not want to use "original" as resolution because it makes the monitor go lower resolution to accomplish the fullscreen, even though it does get rid of the bars.
Staying at "0x0" or "desktop" keeps my monitor at my native resolution but introduces the bars.
Anyone?
