Full Screen

Adlib · 08-24-2005, 10:01 AM

Is it possible to use Dosbox on full screen? I don't like the small window; I rather play full screen? Is that possible?

feel the power of ALt+ENTER!

what does this have to do with apogee, btw

Yep, Alt+Enter seems to work for everything to blow it up to the whole viewing area. That's an old Windows tradition, if I'm not mistaken...

yes that is a standard key combo that is traditionally associated with enlarging the viewing plane of an application.

Get D-Fend. It's a frontend that will take all the pain out of DOSBox.

Open your dosbox.conf and change the line:

Fullscreen=false

to:

Fullscreen=true

I was never able to have a full screen in Dosbox, even after changing every little setting that people told me to try.

I should use D-Fend.

mouth · 08-26-2005, 09:51 AM

First thing I tried when I noticed the maximise button was greyed out.

I thought it was just for having unique profiles for each game?
I would be interested in that, but not if it makes games look better than how they are originally

Ras · 08-26-2005, 07:12 PM

It mainly makes it easier to get the settings you want. You don't have to guess at it or know a lot of commands. Just check what you want. I've been using it for Monuments of Mars, and it's great. I wonder if I could get Alone in the Dark 2 to work, which I had trouble doing without the front-end.
