Hi guys, I wanted to play one of my favorite childhood games and thanks to your program, I can. So thanks alot for that.
Thing is, the screen size is really small, I saw an option to change it to Full Screen, but it's too big for me.
Is there a way to make the screen a bit larger? 1280x720 or so?

again, thanks alot I really appreciate it.

Change the 'windowresolution' entry in the Dosbox config file. Also, 'output' entry must not be 'surface'.

Change windowresolution to what? what are my options? (atm it's on "original").
Change output to what aswell?

The window size is pretty small atm, I still want it to be window mode, but not full screen.

Thanks!

Edit: I managed to do it, thanks for the h elp!
