Neowolf-

Thanks. I should have asked this before....what you listed is the config file settings, now where is the actual config file that i need to paste this code into? I looked at the contents of the DosBox file, I can see when i launch DosBox, the console says that no config file exists, so where to I put the config file, and what should the file be called? config.??? ?

sorry for asking such newbie questions...its because i am a newbie.

Your config file can be anywhere and named anything really. You just need to specify it on launch. For example mine's located in ~/Documents/DOSBox, so the script launches with "/usr/local/bin/dosbox -conf ~/Documents/DOSBox/window.txt"

Basically when you launch dosbox you'll wanna do
"dosbox -conf configfile.whatever"

so i created a config file, called it fullscreen.txt, i am calling it using the console, but it doesnt seem to be working right. the console says that no config was found.

not sure what i am doing wrong.
any tips?
are you using the darwin console to launch dosbox?

If that's the name you need to either specify the location as well or be in the same directory. So if it's in your home folder it'd be "dosbox -conf ~/fullscreen.txt"

And this would be in the Terminal app. Though if you're having this much trouble you might wanna look into one of the front ends for OS X. There are links to them on the main site.
