i know how to run programs properly with dosbox but the thing is that i don't know the correct way to enable fullscreen. how do you enable fullscreen in dosbox?

[Flop]

Alt+enter.

[skyfire1]

dang, i feel like a total idiot. out of all the fullscreen commands i thought it would be, the command is a simply a key combination.

*skyfire1 slaps himself upside the head!

but seriously, thanks for your help.

Don't. Everyone asks a question to which the answer is simple, once in a while. But it's a good idea to check out the documentation for DOSbox if you haven't done so already, since it has some useful information that might help you in the future.

On my PC this only works while i'm running a game in the DOSbox, when I'm in the command prompt area and I try to put it in full screen mode I only get a black screen. Is this normal?

No, it's not. It works for me both ways.

What you can do is enable full screen at startup in configuration file. (change fullscreen = true)

Also doesn't work :help:

Sometimes it does that to me too. Entering full screen before running the program (in DOSBox) usually stop this problem from appearing.

Nope still no luck. But it doens't really matter as long as I can play the games in full screen mode. I was just wondering if I was the only one who had this problem.

When i play certain games (sim farm, theme park) on Dosbox and try to run them on full screen it sais "Cannot display video mode", and then i have to play in a smaller window, how can i get it to go full screen
