hi,

first sorry for my bad english, i'm not a native speaker. 😉
ok, i programmed a little game in assembler with the VESA graphic mode. But when I use the windows-dos-emulator, it's very slow, so I tried the dos box. But now, the highest resolution I can choose is 1280*1024, with the windows - dos-emulator it's 1920*1200. Is there a possibility to change something in the options, so I can use higher resolutions? (tried already a bit, but no change 😒 )

My build (homepage button below) has up to 1600x1200.

1+1=10

thx for this, now i can choose three new graphic-modes with higher bitrates, but there is no mode with 1600x1200 😒 I see, you have to program every possible mode, so it can be used. But I think it's a bit weird, because I think, you only have to say opengl (or similar things), take this graphic mode and it does it automatically - or am I deceive? 🙄
