I had a recent thread on this subject but I couldn't find it to just add another post, thus another thread I'm afraid. Should be short though.

You guys helped explain where to find and adjust DosBox settings and that helped, but regarding Lords of The Realm 1 - CD version, I can't find any DosBox config file ANYWHERE. And right now it is full screen, and I want to make it not full screen so those few pixels aren't spread out all over my big screen. Looks horrible.

With the regular Lords of the Realm 1, I found a gog executable to adjust things like that, but not with the CD version, and I can't find the DosBox config file either.

So could you guys help me again with where to start looking for how to make changes to Dosbox??? I don't know if Lords of the Realm 1 is the only game like this or not, but I can't seem to find any way to make these kinds of changes for this particular game. I suspect there must be others though, so if anyone can help I would really appreciate it.

check the dosbox config file and change these below to anything that work.
the config file itself explains what the changes do.

check these:
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
frameskip=0
aspect=true
scaler=normal3x

OldFatGuy: snip
Lords of the Realm 1 CD version is a Windows game, while the other (floppy) version is a DOS game, so you will be unable to customize the game in that way.

The CD version is a native Windows game. It doesn't have a windowed mode.

Oh, wow, duh, that never even crossed my mind. What a moron.

SORRY. Geez, I guess I should've noticed but for some reason I didn't.

So I'm out of luck on changing it, aren't I???

Dammit, I like the sound on that thing, with the voiceovers, plus it's got extra content (a German map), but at that resolution on a big screen it just really doesn't look good. I've found with games like that before that if I make them smaller and center the window on the screen, it really looks much much better.

Anyway, sorry for such a stupid question. I'd like to say it would be my last stupid one. But then I'd be a liar.

Well, one workaround would be to change your graphics card's [url=http://pcgamingwiki.com/wiki/Glossary:Graphics_card#GPU_scaling]GPU scaling setting[/url] to center the game's lower resolution.

You might also be able to force windowed mode with DxWnd or similar but this doesn't work for every game.
