hi there

im trying to resize my dosbox window, i would prefer not to full screen, just bigger
ive had a quick look the forum and faq, sorry if ive missed exactly what i need

apparently i can change the scaler in the conf file? but i changed it to a few other values it accepts but it seems nothing changed, so im not sure if im doing something wrong or not

oh also, when i go to full screen, i have black bars up the top and bottom, and a bit of the image is cut off on the left and right, i tried changing the aspect to true like i read somewhere, but then when i tried to go to full screen, the screen would be black for about 5 secs and revert back to how it was

can anyone help me out here please? 😀

fullresolution and windowresolution are the parameters you want to play with
(and change output=surface to output=ddraw)

ah, funnily enough i didnt play with the windowres

is it alright to set it to any value? originally i had it to 1280x1024 (which is my screens res) but it was long and thin
at the moment i have windowres set to 1280x1280 and fullres set to original
i thought the image was sorta squashed, but after playing around with the two settings i cant seem to change the height without changing the width, so maybe im just wrong about the image seeming sqaushed heh

either way, im playing my game in a larger window now xD, thanks
