Hi. I'm trying to get Heroes of Might and Magic 2 and Fallout from GOG.com to run in 4:3 mode, but I can't figure out how. My screen is 16:9 (1366x768) so both automatically fill the screen, distorting the image. I'd much rather have a 4:3 image in the centre with vertical black bars on the side (1024x768 would be ideal). I run Vista. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

dosbox config:
fullscreen=true
fullresolution=1366x768
output=opengl
aspect=true

Should do the trick. You can also try fullresolution=0x0 (picks your desktop resolution) and output=ddraw (uses directdraw instead of opengl).

Does FallOut from GOG.com use DOSBox ?
I didn't know that.
