Up-scaling the Window works just fine for Silent Hunter in DOSbox.

You can make the game window larger, but still keep it's original aspect ratio so that it doesn't "stretch" and look weird on widescreen.


I changed these settings in the DOSbox Options file, which can be opened via Start Menu>Programs>DOSbox>Options.

Change the following to:

fullscreen=false
windowresolution=960x720

(you can use whatever resolution you want the window to be but I kept this one at an even two times the size of the original. Plus it's on my laptop so the smaller screen means I don't need a massive res.)

output=overlay


(under [Render] is..)

aspect=true
scaler=advmame3x


(There are different scaler types, along with both 2x and 3x options. The advanced mame filter cleans up a little bit of the extra jaggies from the original screen being upscaled so much, but not so much that it looks excessively blurred. Even if you try some of the others listed, I still suggest using a 3x when using the above resolution or higher.)
