cheers, nearly done it. gimme 2 more ciggies an a cup of tea and it will be up, jus gotta get a game shot for the end stage, so i will maybe dissapear into frontier! (o the joys of these programs).. edit::
time passes
its up. i had to do it because it seems that a lot of the questions on this thread could be ansered by using dfend. would be nice if you could give it the once over an tell me if theres anything u think i have missed, (or that needs editing LOL its my first tutorial) a lot of the cli fearing are gonna love using it as it does make editing multiple configurations a dream in my opinion. does dos box have the open gl and direct draw settings like dfend?

I have a 2 gig computer here and I never go higher than 10000 cycles. Only one game asked for more so far and it was really a big game (C&C).

im running frontier at 20000 cycles with dfend, makes it look laaarvly. my system is a 1.1 ghz

Ok i know to go into full screen is alt+enter *or editing that file to true* but when i go fullscreen it cuts off some of the left side of the screen so i might see half a word for example but on the right side i can see it all however theres a black gap next to it *about the same about as what is cut off on the left so it seems it could be fixed if i could nudge it to the right a bit* and i dont know how to fix it, some one suggested changing the resolution in fullscreen to 800x600 but that did nothing any ideas? i really want to play some games full screen but cant while that is happening

Check dosbox.conf. There is fullfixed= option and something about width and height in fullfixed. Try this.

cant see anything i tried changing fullfixed but that didnt do anything either

DOSBOX doens't work on my system, i'm running win98 i tried that already. I install.exe still says CAN'T LOAD RESOURCE.MAP! don't know why cuiz the file is in there

It's probably common knowledge but somone might not be real familiar with
DOS and the associated problems running the various DOS games with W98...

My solution was to install a second hard drive with DOS 6.2 installed to run the
DOS stuff. The beauty? about this setup is that I can do all my editing on/for the DOS drive using W98 (because W98/95 is essentially DOS based). I log/boot into either drive in the BIOS setup.

Additionally, some DOS games will run when logged into W98 and play on the DOS drive without foooling with the autoexec.bat and config.sys files.

P.S. I bought the second hardrive (used) at a computer repair shop for a few bucks. (It's only 3-4 Gig...plenty for DOS games)

You need to set fullfix=true and the resolution, and set fullscreen=true, like this:

fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
fullfixed=true
fullresolution=800x600

That should do the trick. The other option is to keep adjusting your monitor settings, but that's not really a solution

I'm not having trouble running games on dos box, but when I do play the game on dos box it seems to play the game a lot slower. For example if I go to a different area it loads 2-5 seconds longer than usual. If I dont run the game on dosbox and just double click the .bat file it runs fine with no slow downs, but I get no sound

What can I do to make dosbox run the game faster or load it faster. It cant be my computer because I have P3 3.4 ghz 1 gig ram and a 9800pro video card. Any info would be appreciated.
