This section contains all of the low level system settings for how DOSBox interacts with your real hardware. You can define what resolutions are emulated, how DOSBox should treat errors or listen to your keyboard and mouse. You can often achieve a fair level of optimization by working with these setting, though for the most part leaving them at their default settings will create the best experience. These settings are passed on to the SDL Library which handles low level things like input and thread priority. | This section contains all of the low level system settings for how DOSBox interacts with your real hardware.

This section contains all of the low level system settings for how DOSBox interacts with your real hardware. You can define what resolutions are emulated, how DOSBox should treat errors or listen to your keyboard and mouse. You can often achieve a fair level of optimization by working with these setting, though for the most part leaving them at their default settings will create the best experience. These settings are passed on to the SDL Library which handles low level things like input and thread priority.
- fullscreen = true | false
- Start DOSBox directly in fullscreen.
- Default is false.
- fulldouble = true | false
- Use double buffering in fullscreen. See [1]
- Default is false.
- fullresolution = width x height | original | desktop
- Scale the application to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling (i.e. any output other than surface). Original is the game's default or chosen (through setup.exe or in-game menu) resolution. If original resolution is less than desktop resolution, DOSBox will switch the screen resolution to the closest match requested by the game or application. For example, if a game in DOSBox is requesting a graphics screen resolution of (320 x 240) while your desktop is (1920 x 1200), DosBox will switch to (320x240) or the next highest resolution supported by your GPU drivers, e.g. (800 x 600) if the former is not available. Many games will be below the minimum resolution supported by modern video cards, so DOSBox will scale the game up to at least that minimum. Note: the scaler setting under [render] is also able to scale up the original resolution to some degree. Those changes are performed before any additional scaling done with fullresolution setting.
- Default is original.
- windowresolution = width x height | original | desktop
- Scale the window to this size IF the output device supports hardware scaling (i.e. any output other than surface). Original is the game's default or chosen (through setup.exe or in-game menu) resolution. Note: the scaler setting under [render] is also able to scale up the original resolution to some degree. Those changes are performed before any scaling done with windowresolution setting.
- Default is original.
- output = surface | overlay | opengl | openglnb | ddraw
- What to use for output. Surface does not support scaling or aspect correction. More information here: [2]
- Default is surface.
- autolock = true | false
- Mouse will automatically lock, if you click on the screen.
- Default is true.
- sensitivity = 1..1000
- Mouse sensitivity.
- Default is 100.
- waitonerror = true | false
- Wait before closing the console if DOSBox has an error.
- Default is true.
- priority = when-focused,when-minimzed
- Priority levels for DOSBox. Second entry behind the comma is for when DOSBox is not focused/minimized. Valid priorities are: lowest, lower, normal, higher, highest, and pause.
- Default is higher,normal.
- mapperfile = path-to-mapper-file
- File used to load/save the key/event mappings from.
- Default is mapper-<version>.txt.
- usescancodes = true | false
- Avoid usage of symkeys, might not work on all operating systems.
- Default is true.
