300x200 in fulscreen on a 23"? My as*, really, those old games were made to run on a 12,13 or 14" monitor, not a 23" one.

Another possibility to stretch that 'crappy small' dosbox window a bit is to lower desktop res to a 640x480 or 800x600.
That doesn't burden the needed emulation power of the CPU.

Yeah, I have a 17 inch, and when the graphics are put to full screen, they are well, bad to say the least. I would put my resolution lower, but that messes everything ELSE up so it isn't worth it to worry that much about dosbox I just thought since I was asking and everyone was being helpful, I would ask about that

The surface output doesn't support a lot of things. That is why I recommend using overlay or ddraw instead.

Okay, I will try that, I forgot to switch output the last time. Okay, I just put that in the dosbox config, but haven't tried it yet, I will let you know if it works.

Don't worry I found that wiki on my computer just AFTER I posted. Apparently I found that and downloaded it a while ago. I wish that there was a bit more indepth coverage available (like what the differences between surface ddraw etc... and things like that, but the wiki should come in handy.

Thanks

Edit: Dosbox decided to avoid being murdered and cooperated, I finally went back a bit further in the thread and used windowresolution and combined with ddraw and normal3x it worked. now I just have to find the resolution that I like best, that is large enough for me to not feel like I am looking through a keyhole but not so large as to make everything including text go blurry

Thanks for the help people
