Hello there!
I write as I have a problem that seems to occur to widescreen users related with black stripes appearing when you play fullscren to correct the aspect ratio instead of filling the screen...
The problem is that I am a lucky non-widescreen user, and I would really love dosbox to just stretch the image and fill the screen, as it wouldn't disort it (pe: Simon the sorcerer on Scummvm will fill the screen and look fantastic on my 4:3 aspect ratio, while Dosbox keeps making a fake widescreen effect). All the previous google search I did directed me to widescreen users trying to stretch the game graphics, and to sum the solutions didn't seem to even work for me.
All games, and the dosbox prompt itself have two black stripes on the top and bottom of my screen while I go fullscreen. My native desktop respolution is 1024x768... I tried to change it to 800x600 and 640x480 but that doesn't seem to affect Dosbox in anyway.
--custom dosbox.conf
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=true
fullresolution=1024x768
windowresolution=1024x768
output=overlay
autolock=true
--general dosbox.conf--
fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=original
output=surface
I tried messing with the configuration file, and the different "machine=, output=" options, but I just can't make those damn stripes to go away: Sometimes I manage to have a tiny small box surrounded by black stripes in the four sides, but that is even worse...
What I am doing wrong? And thank you in advance for your time
