Change dosbox resolution windows#

I didn't actually have to change this setting on my computer. Finally, I forget if the forum said that output must be 'ddraw' or if it just couldn't be 'surface' and 'ddraw' was one that worked. Then, I increased the window resolution to a little less than my screen height, then determined the width to maintain a 4:3 ratio. Your settings may vary, but here's what I changed mine to, to achieve the desired results: fullscreen=falseįirst, I put fullscreen to 'false' to open it in a regular window. If you open the conf file in Notepad, you'll see something like this: fullscreen=true

Change dosbox resolution windows#

Plus, I didn't mind playing while DOSBox was running inside a standard Windows window, but its resolution was still 640x480, making it really hard to see.Īfter researching a little bit online, some forum (I forget which) said that DOSBox has a configuration file, nf, that's in the same directory as the emulator that you can use to 1) start it in windowed (not fullscreen) mode and 2) bump up the size (not the resolution per se). The worst one was Chrome, because I'm the kinda guy who keeps a billion tabs open on multiple windows, so constantly getting them back to fullscreen was a bit of a chore. Whenever I alt-tabbed out of the game (or was pulled out of it by a program or other notification back into Windows proper) some programs would have their windows annoyingly shrunk to 640x480 on my 1920x1080 screen. Whenever I played the game, it opened in fullscreen 640x480.

I'm unsure of how GOG loads SC2K, but if it's anything like Origin, it uses a DOSBox emulator to run the game. This might not be what you need, but this is how I solved a similar problem.
