A DosBox problem I've never been able to fix!

[Calavera]

The problem I'm having is when using filters to smooth out the graphics the game will not appear in fullscreen. DosBox will be in fullscreen mode but the game is in a smaller box. I took a screenshot for an example.



The filter used in that screenshot is Hq3x. Is that just how it is? All of the filters are like that. They have 2x and 3x options. The 2x options puts it in an even smaller box. Is there anyway to use the filters and stretch them to full screen?

One of these might work. Maybe.

Go to the .conf and make these changes:

fullscreen=true
fulldouble=true
fullresolution=1366x768
windowresolution=1366x768

output=opengl #MOST IMPORTANT

autolock=true

Now save the file and open dosbox. It should be fullscreen with full workspace.

fullresolution=auto
windowresolution=auto

for me auto setting on these two functions, works better.

I think the Alt-Enter command makes DOSBox go full-screen. That might not be your problem, though.

Thanks for the info, unfortunately it didn't help. It actually glitched out the graphics when I tried it. Maybe there just isn't a way to get the scalers to display fullscreen.

Here's another one to try.

fullscreen=true
fullresolution=0x0
output=opengl
aspect=true
scaler=hq3x

You can also try output=overlay or output=ddraw or output=direct3d

I should put a DOSbox game on this laptop and try it out.

I got it fixed, well fixed in a way. I couldn't get it to work with DosBox so I downloaded another build called Dosbox SVN-Daum. It works perfectly with all filters in full-screen and even allows you to change filters on the fly while the game is running. I'll try what you posted with the original DosBox later to see if it works.
