• DOSbox fullscreen help
    6 replies, posted
Every time I alt-enter it makes the game look horrible. But I want to play fullscreen. Fullscreen: [img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/blood1.png[/img] Windowed: [img]http://filesmelt.com/downloader/blood2.png[/img] So my question is, how do I fix this? EDIT: Problem is not game specific it happens in every game I try.
Play around with your screen resolutions and color mode.
In?
Windows display settings.
What? I don't see how that will help. Anyway It's Windows 7 so the color mode thing isn't going to happen, or at least I can't find it.
I actually played around with the windowed settings in the dosbox editor, and found out it helped me fix this problem during Daggerfall. If you're using Dosbox 0.73, there should be a Config program in the start menu. If it's lower than 0.73, go to the dosbox file and open it with wordpad. At the start of the notepad file there is a bit of writing like this. # fullscreen: Start dosbox directly in fullscreen. # fulldouble: Use double buffering in fullscreen. # fullresolution: What resolution to use for fullscreen: original or fixed size (e.g. 1024x768). # windowresolution: Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling. # output: What video system to use for output. # Possible values: surface, overlay, opengl, openglnb, ddraw. # autolock: Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen. # sensitivity: Mouse sensitivity. # waitonerror: Wait before closing the console if dosbox has an error. # priority: Priority levels for dosbox. Second entry behind the comma is for when dosbox is not focused/minimized. (pause is only valid for the second entry) # Possible values: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, pause. # mapperfile: File used to load/save the key/event mappings from. # usescancodes: Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems. fullscreen=false fulldouble=true fullresolution=1600x1024 windowresolution=1024x768 output=overlay autolock=true sensitivity=100 waitonerror=true priority=higher,normal mapperfile=mapper.txt usescancodes=true This is my default, play around with this and see if they can help you out.
Went into config and set to start dosbox directly in fullscreen - I thought I found a solution but shorty after that the same thing happens during normal gameplay.
