So ive got quite a few old games I wanna replay but they dont really scale well on my huge monitor. I did the alt+enter to get them in window mode but they look quite silly on my screen in windowmode.

 Spoiler:
 


Is there anyway of making those windows abit bigger? I cant just drag it bigger cos that doesnt work.

In dosbox config file set

output=Overlay

and try various scallers

scaler=none

Quote:
[render]
# frameskip -- How many frames DOSBox skips before drawing one.
# aspect -- Do aspect correction, if your output method doesn't support scaling this can slow things down!.
# scaler -- Scaler used to enlarge/enhance low resolution modes.
# Supported are none,normal2x,normal3x,advmame2x,advmame3x,hq2x,hq3x,
# 2xsai,super2xsai,supereagle,advinterp2x,advinterp3x,
# tv2x,tv3x,rgb2x,rgb3x,scan2x,scan3x.

# If forced is appended (like scaler=hq2x forced), the scaler will be used
# even if the result might not be desired.


EDIT:

Or leave

scaler=none

and play in desired window size by setting

windowresolution

Quote:
# windowresolution -- Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling.
