Full Screen trouble

Syriacn said Hello, Im trying to get DOSbox to play in full screen. The games load great and play, but there in smaller boxed window. I have full screen checked in the DOSBox settings in Lunchbox. Thanks
Let's take a look at your DOSBox config directly. Go to where LaunchBox is installed, the one you're currently using then open the DOSBox folder. For me its: E:\LaunchBox\DOSBox Then open the dosbox.conf with a Text editor like Notepad++. Once open, go past all the lines that start with # and you'll see the first line: fullscreen=___ It should say true here if you would like it to be fullscreen. This should make every game run in fullscreen.

Excellent SetaiBrad, That did the trick, thank you! I was just checking the full screen option with inside Launchbox. Now I need to figure out a hotkey or something to shut down these emulators, or exit back to launchbox. Jeremy

Alt + F4 should work. If you use a controller (probably not for DOS) You can map that to a button on the controller assuming the emulator will shut down with Alt + F4. Otherwise, some emulators do shut down with Esc directly.
