Hey guys. Im sure this has been answered elsewhere, and im sure it's do'able, but I am curious if there's a way to make a shortcut for a game, through DOSbox? Say I have HoMM, and I wanna make a shortcut that plays it fullscreen through DOSbox on my desktop. i know D-Fend does this, but Every time i try running certian games through D-Fend, they close before they open and that's it.

You could always create a batch file (.bat). There is probably an extention in the command line of the .exe of DOSBox which allow you to start it fullscreen. I'm sure all the infos you need are in the readme.txt.

Failing that, in the configuration file of DOSBox I think you can set it so it always start fullscreen.

Yup - there's a line
fullscreen=false
just change false to true and it always starts in full screen!
If the edges are off screen change fullfixed to true aswell.
