When I try to expand the text box, by either of the two possible methods, it does not really do anything. The only effect is that my background blacks out, and I have a small workable box that stays in the middle of the screen. Thus the effect that I would want from full screen, doesn't happen. So how do I expand it in a practical sense?

Set output to something else besides surface. Then set fullresolution to your desktop's resolution (or 0x0, which is shorthand for that).

Output to something other than surface, where, and what exactly is something other than that? Sorry if I'm being dense. And thanks for the help.

The config file:

# output: What video system to use for output.
# Possible values: surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb, ddraw.

You can try output=ddraw for example.

Edit DOSBox configuration file. There is a shortcut for that.

Intel i7 5960X

8 GB GeForce GTX 1070 G1 Gaming (Gigabyte)
