    From Roger Nelson@1:3828/7 to Nick Andre on Wed Aug 17 07:01:14 2016
    Hello Nick!

    In Windows 7 or 10, would it be possible to run DB full screen using DOSBOX?


    Regards,

    Most DOS apps, all that I tried, don't initialize fullscreen under an XP VM. DosBox may be an exception ... have to try it I guess :)

    I have two games here that will run full screen in Windows 7 or 10 ising DOSBOX. I have to figure out how to implement it.

    Never used Dosbox, I tend to shy away from 3rd party software whenever possible, opting for Microsoft products (XP Mode in my case) as they co-exist better {chuckle} but that's interesting that Dosbox does fullscreen. May have to re-visit my efforts to get some other apps working using Dosbox instead! Thanks :)

    Its very easy. There is a variable in the config for Dosbox that controls this.

    In the [SDL] section. Fullscreen = True.

    Works just great with DB too. I have different .conf files for
    dosbox that do what I want. :)

    Yup, DOSBOX is great. I think the "file directory changed" quirk was resolved in either a new version or in a fork some other guy did with the code.
