Dosbox Fullscreen

[dff_punk]

hi there, i have a problem with using DOS box fullscreen. i have a 17" lcd monitor, and when i switch at DOSbox on fullscreen, the monitor says it´s "out of range" i changed resolution of screen and many other things and it didn´t help. can someone help me out?

What is your main desktop resolution?

Have you tried to change DOSBox to start in full screen? (You can do it in config file)

[dff_punk]

my main resolution is 1024 x 768...
and i didn´t try to do it in the config file.. do you think it would work?

[Rogue]

Try it. (you never know)

Go to config file, and change

fullscreen=false

to

fullscreen=true

In the case you got same message when you start DOSBox, click ctrl + F9 to exit it.

Let us know if this helped you.

Also, if you can post resto of configuration for full screen.

Does that happen with every game or just a selected few? I have a LCD screen too, and usually no problems with DosBox because the resulution/refreshrate combo seems to be supported by my monitor, some windows95 games make problems though when I set the resolution too 800x or 1024x. If nothing else helps, you might want to try a program that will lock the refresh rate of DosBox full screen to something your monitor supports.

I had this problem and I found the answer on the dosbox forums.

My dosbox config now reads:

fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullfixed=true
fullresolution=1024x768
output=overlay
hwscale=1.00

and this works perfectly for me!

Hope that helps! :D

Fullfixed does not resize the screen when in full screen mode. Not sure how does that helped.

I didn't question it - it worked!!! :D

:) That's true, most importantly it worked.

You also changed output. That I believe helped.
