Mind you, you COULD stretch the image and remove the stripes if you really wanted. Click here to see an example of distortion and why it's undesirable. If the image of a DOS game-intended for 4:3 aspect ratio-were to fill a wider display (like a 16:9), it would be distorted, and you wouldn't be really getting more of the area of your display, contrary to what you might thing at first, and even though many people actually try to remove those stripes when they see them. This is is NOT BAD, this is GOOD-as long as there are no similar black stripes at the top and bottom. However if your monitor is a 'wide screen' you SHOULD see black stripes left and right. If yours is an old 4:3 monitor, the game image should fill it completely. The desired effect is to display the game, at its originally intended 4:3 aspect ratio, making the most of the area of the monitor. I'm intrigued by this, because graphic scaling is a part of DOSBox at the same time complicated and grossly undocumented and hugely important. In case this should not be what you expected (1920x1200), that would really explain this and may point to a cause. Then paste the image somewhere (MS Paint) and measure the actual resolution of the image finally sent by the graphic card.

There's a test can make: take a screenshot while fullscreen, but not with DOSBox, rather with Windows (PrnScr).

Bear in mind this may be a driver issue, in that land there are lots of particularities and bugs beyond DOSBox's control. Also try changing scaler, even to and fro the 2x and 3x-although as far as I know there's a difference between those only when resolution=original. But I have 1080 pixels of vertical resolution and with output=overlay every game fills the whole height.Д«ut, AnyKey, do experiment with any possible option for output. Besides 1200 is anyway an integer multiple of both 200 (original vertical resolution of the game) and 240 (if aspect-corrected). Switch to ddraw.Дid you read that somewhere, or did you test it? It doesn't agree with my experience. Overlay output doesn't support scaling to anything else than multiples of the original resolution. What do I have to do to make the picture expand across the full screen? Still, the picture remains small in the middle of the black full screen. Looks like the 'going back to windowed mode' problem was caused by the xBox 360 controller I had plugged in an USB port. Playing DOS games isn't about good graphics anyway. Obviously, you can't make a high resolution image out of a low resolution one.

This is unless you also change ' scaler' to anything but normal2x or normal3x but this only reduces the pixelation of the edges in exchange for blurring the image, and I can't really recommend it. That is, you will see the image as pixelated as originally in an old monitor. Try every possible option for 'output' in case one of them works for you.ДЄre you sure 1920x1200 is supported by your hardware? Check the desktop display properties.ДЄlso, be aware that if and when this works, you don't really get higher resolution per se (but you do get better scaling).

The problem about fullscreen going back to windowed is very strange, perhaps the drivers are responsible. Changing output is a must, because surface is the only one that doesn't support scaling.
