Hi,

I can't play my DOSBox games in normal fullscreen anymore. The configuration tool allows me to choose fullscreen but all I get is a small screen with huge black borders an all four sides - the size depends on the scaling (2x or 3x) I choose in the menu. I ran several test with "master of magic" wich I was able to play in normal fullscreen before, using the whole vertical screen with black borders left and right due to the old aspect ratio. Windowed mode gets me a bigger window, but I'd like to play fullscreen as windowed mode kills all the atmosphere for me. I tried some other games and had the same problem...

Im using a NVidia gtx980 with the latest drivers running windows 8.1. And yes - I've got the supersampling feature disabled in the drivers. Before I had a gtx680 (same windows) and everything worked ok.

Can anybody help me?

Could you possibly check what is the value of "fullresolution=" in the .conf file located in the directory of Master of Magic?

Edit:
I ask because http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Dosbox.conf#.5Bsdl.5D says that "fullresolution=original" could lead to the issue you mentioned.

hmm? men i don't know dosbox too much - all i know is how to mount a folder or press alt-enter for fullscreen? but maybe dosbox created a config for your old card and now if you have new you need to reinstall man? hmm?

Select another video mode than "surface" as it doesn't scale to higher resolutions.

Weil bei Dir "From Germany" steht, antworte ich mal auf Deutsch, ist einfacher für mich.
Falls dort andere Einstellung sind, ändere in der NVIDIA-Systemsteuerung unter "Anzeige>Desktop-Größe und -Position anpassen" die Einstellungen unter "Skalierung" auf Vollbild und "Skalierung vornehmen mit GPU".
Vielleicht hilft das.

Thanks for your quick answers. Editing fullresolution in the conf file did the trick with master of magic. Still have to check other games. I even had to set it to compatibility mode because it kept locking up.

I thought these games were made to work "out of the box" by gog now? :-(

Danke - dachte erst das ist die einfache Lösung - leider zerrt er das Bild dann auf 16:10 und lässt es nicht auf 4:3 bei mir

*edit*
Nochmal getestet - bei Skalierung "Seitenverhältnis" lassen und aber GPU anstelle von Anzeige einstellen funktioniert bei mir.

Versuch mal unterschiedliche Einstellungen bei "Skalierung vornehmen mit".

OK - seems like Dedee gave me a great hint: Here for all in english (at least I'll try to translate it):

Go to the NVidia sytem panel and check in "desktop size and desktop position". The type of scaling should be something like "aspect ratio" or "fixed aspect ratio" and the scaling should be done by the GPU as opposed to your monitor. I my case the default setting was scaling by monitor. After switching to GPU everything was ok.

Thanks again to all

Did you try Alt and Enter?
