Why bother fixing it manually then?

First off, I'm sorry for my decrepit language... Darn it, I need to learn me English!

Anyway, I'm heading off to Best Buy to pick up a HD TV tomorrow, that is, if I can wake up before 7:00 pm... I really should lay of the excessive alcohol. *lol*

So will I get better results with a newer TV?

From my understanding, old TV's took an image it receives and then projects that display as best as it can on the screen, there's not really a pixel count one might think such as using a monitor. However, with a HD TV, I can actually count the pixels to get a perfect resolution.

Yeah, or am I still missing something on this?

Why? Anyway you can download it and install anew from www.dosbox.com. Or you can type this into DOSBox's command line to create a new dosbox.conf:

config -writeconf dosbox.conf

Maybe moderndigital TVs are more standard, but I suppose in the end it's more or less the same. A TV set will have a resolution (yes old analog ones do have a pixel count), or a set of resolutions. Either you go for stretching the image, and you get a full screen image easily but somewhat distorted; or you look for the resolution that will fit the game image best, with just scaling and no aspect correction.

Hey there again, Japofran.

I think you missed a small part of my previous posts.

I'm running DosXbox, it's a build for the original Xbox machine, and while it's very user friendly, it seems to be quite difficult by way if you want specific, pixel perfected dimensions when running a game.

And yeah, there's no dosbox.conf file to mess around with, just some stripped down menus and options for it.

I was hoping if there was anyone here that had the same version on their Xbox or perhaps another build for any of the other various home consoles and what type of settings they use to generate a correct display on their TV sets instead of using a typical computer monitor.

Nuts, I think I just lost you even more on this.

Ah sorry I missed the extra X. :P

You may be able to guess the resolution that DOSXBox uses, if you can take a screenshot and inspect its resolution (pixel count) DOSBox saves screenshots as they are served by DOS, not as they are finally displayed, nor even as they are scaled into fullresolution. They always represent the original image before any manipulation.

But if you can't configure DOSXBox's resolution, I guess you're stuck with changing the on in the TV set if you're lucky, or just go for stretching even if the image is distorted. I suppose you can find support about DOSXBox somewhere on the Internet.
