The downside to my I7 and DosBox is the screen res. Full screen will corrupt the color pallette, and windowed is small but clear.

The Dosox windowed res setting is ignored so I have to set my screen to the lowest res and color to enlarge the DosBox window.

Good ole Aces of the Deep a walk down memory lane when what you bought was what your thought with the added bonus it worked...well 95% bug free...

CLASSIC!

They dont make sims like that any more! The magic meal and the pirate patch guy dont stand up to accurate physics and accurate modelled historical events ...

I have been working on a poster of this map, it will soon be completed, and is 23"X35". Ruffly 1 and a half times bigger than the AOD map. I will be getting it printed as soon as it is done.

I know you wrote this a year ago but maybe you can still need it... or anyone else...

In order to change the window mode resolution to the one you want you have to edit the config file. In my case, on Debian I have it on /home/me/.dosbox/dosbox-0.74.conf

Then change:

Code:

windowresolution=800x600  (here the resolution you want)
output=opengl  (surface doesn't allow to select the resolution you want).

For full screen resolution maybe you can change this part:

Code:

fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original

I personally never tried this, I always play on window mode.

Actually I miss neither. I have AOD on my 133 Mhz DOS machine along with SWOTL and THF. I have CAOD on my Windows 95 machine.
When I get fed up with the pretty graphics and lousy, tiresome gameplay of latter day sims,I fade back to the golden days of PC gaming.
