Is there any way I can keep the aspect ratio of a game using VDMSound?
Aspect ratios work great with DOSBox but unfortunately DOSBox is slow for games such as Fatal Racing (Whiplash).
Some games use the 16:9 or even a 16:10 aspect ratio but when I play them with VDMSound, they get scaled into a 5:4, which is the aspect ratio of my monitor and it looks ugly. I tried centered output option on my video card but the image is too small to enjoy the game. So, is there any other way I can get 16:9 or 16:10 scaling (with black bars on top and bottom) on my 5:4 monitor without using DOSBox?

to be honest I never heard of it.
DOSBox is quite unique in that respect.
did you try the following commands in dosbox before starting the game ?

core dynamic
cycles auto

yes, graphics are still slow and choppy under dosbox, even with frameskip settings

there has to be some way to scale a MS DOS screen into 16:9 for the game
if i had a CRT monitor, i could just scale the image with the monitor menu
the LCD monitors dont offer that

this might work ResLink - Automatic Resolution Changer for Old Games
