How to make DOSBox show in Full Screen mode in Windows PC

[@TheBluemindedGod]

You unintentionally showed me what I needed. My problem was every time I shift-tab away from DOS BOX, I couldn't get it to go fullscreen again. But seeing the options made me realize I have to hit alt-Enter. Thanks my dude!

[@TheBluemindedGod]

I'll give you a sub for the trouble.

[@andybovington]

Best video on youtube that describes what to do in simple step by step process. Thank you ever so much for your great efforts. Brilliant!

[@Gadgetakias]

thanks a lot!
i did this :
fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=1366x768
windowresolution=1366x768
output=overlay
so that i can run chrome and other apps at the same time

[@pirro17]

The way i like it !!!! Thx man

[@KatsPurr]

Perfect, thank you!

[@Spectans1]

This actually worked for me, thank you so much!:) Was looking for this, cuz ALT+ENTER didnt work for me.

[@shamteal8614]

Brilliant, had almost given up after tinkering the configuration file with no success. Your fix was so easy.
While I'm here for anyone who bothers to read. If you want a C: prompt instead of the default Z: add the following to the end of your configuration (options) file on two separate lines:
mount C C:\GAMES
C:
Assuming you have created a GAMES directory on your C: Drive to store and run your applications, you can call it what you like but the names must match. You internal commands still reside on drive Z:

Thank you I have dosbox already setup so it automatically loads windows 3.1 so now I can play those older windows games in full screen finally :D

[@David_F579]

Thank you for posting. Your solution worked perfectly. For some reason Alt+Enter wasn't working. It would go full screen and then immediately minimize. I couldn't figure it out. All the best.

[@imhashir]

I made my DOS box fullscreen by seeing setting from some other source. Then I wanted to revert it back but forgot the initial settings. Thanks for your video. I used your video to revert back to original settings :D

[@Trelane42]

Thank you so much! This worked perfectly for getting old text based games to fullscreen and fully scaled so it's legible. Alt-Enter didn't work at all for a game with 80-column resolution

[@WADCO911]

The flippant comments below are obviously from those who have not experienced the latest update of Windows 10, which put Dosbox into a tiny screen in the lefthand corner of the display. Press Alt-Enter, and it went away completely. The fix in this video has ended a couple of months'
search for a way to get it back to fullscreen. My sincere thanks to the tech who created it; I can use Dosbox again.

[@BanditFX7]

Thank's longtime to find it, now is perfect on fullscreen for my quickbasic

[@fishmanlovessoftware4115]

Thanks for posting this. A friend of mine told me to use alt-enter but that didn't work at all. Your method is a sure thing.

[@zaftra]

perfect solution, why anybody down thumbed it I have no idea.

[@ShaioteKlata]

You are fabulous; this info is invaluable! This will make my old DOS games *SO* much more fun!! *CHEERS!*

[@DaniBlazin]

Thanks man. Above and beyond with the overlay. Much appreciated!

[@neilmorebeck]

[@caesarlucania4081]

Thx, great info. Worked great!

[@MayureshRS]

Thanks a lot dude, worked as expected for me. Also is there a way to program it to open by default in a windowed mode & later click on maximize to enter full screen mode. For now what I do for switching from this default full screen back to windowed mode is press Alt+Enter.

[@terkyo27]

gracias me sirvio
ya se que con ALT+ENTER se podia
pero necesitaba grabar y no se porque el programa no me tomaba el fullscreen
ahora si,gracias!!

[@raghuiyer9656]

Thanks a lot for providing such useful tips. i am also looking out for a solution to one problem: in one FoxProX program, i set the page length of the printer to 36 lines through DOS escape sequence (for printing vouchers). it works in DOS mode in earlier Windows but not through DosBox in Windows 7 & above. the printer seems to just ignore the escape sequence & treats the page length as 72 lines only. is there any settings for printers to accept DOS escape sequence? Thanks in advance.

You can set scaling settings in the DOSBox.conf file to make it look better on newer monitors, i use a crt as my main monitor for FPS gaming so it doesnt look too bad on my screen Samoh Kul
