hiya all...

can someone help me? i have dosbox to play some older games. Is it possible to go fullscreen, and if so how do i do that?

Definitely can. Hold down Alt and press Enter while you're playing the game.
You can also edit the conf file to start the game like that every time. Just follow the instructions in the readme.

or you can set it in the dosbox config file so that dosbox will always open in fullscreen mode.

I didnt want to make a new thread for this question so I thought this would be the perfect place to put this post. I just got the King's Quest collection and I don't know how to work dos box.

Check out http://dosbox.sourceforge.net/news.php?show_news=1

That's the DOSBox website. Download a couple Launchers so that you don't have to do so much work. There also should be tutorials there but I've never needed them so I can't be sure.

If the rumors really say "within a few months", then either I'm really out of the loop and they've reached alpha stage already or said rumors are slightly exaggerated.

I'm kind of interested in knowing which deluded soul started that rumor. Then again, maybe the KQ4 people have some kind of time ray.

Wow, they've certainly put AGDI and IA to shame big time if they can push a game out that quickly. Kudos. :lol

This may have been the missread quote-turned-rumor.

Why did you mash the "QUOTE" button instead of the "EDIT" button right beside it?

Sorry I didn't notice it till now I put the quote in after I pushed reply. I never noticed the quote and edit buttons outside the reply window before till now. Thank you. Now I know how to edit my mistakes. :o
