InkPanther: Normal6x scaler doesn't seem to be supported, perhaps Teceem is using a different version of dosbox. You'd have to ask them.

Yes, you can set window size in the .conf file.
If original = 320x200
Setting: Overlay, Fullscreen = Off, Scaler = Off, Window Size = 1920x1200
-> The result is a 6x scaled windowed game.

ameder: To all who have answered questions here THANK YOU. I have figured out a bunch about DOSBox and various settings.

I just posted a new question about All Seeing Eye. I have installed it, but the ASE cannot seem to find my saved game or characters in EOTB.
Any thoughs? Thanks
[i]Requirements
Windows XP or newer
DOSBox
Eye of the Beholder 1, version 1.7 or 1.9. Only English-version is supported!
Eye of the Beholder 2, version 1.1. Only English-version is supported![/i]

Where did you install EOTB? Best to not install it in Windows-created folders (same for other games as well), like e.g. Program Files.

I think that those scaler presets are meant for fullscreen scaling. (and for older, lower resolution screens - given the low highest multiplication factors)
When I want a game fullscreen, I usually let my Nvidia card do the scaling.

I've downloaded a few games... all are in the GOG Galaxy in Program Files.
Can I just move the whole folder? Why would I want to move it or not use Program Files?

Move the folder that all the games are in, then let Galaxy rescan it. (c:\goggames or something like that)
And why? Because of UAC - some old games don't handle it well.

// I never use Galaxy to install games, I get to choose where I want it on a per-game basis.

And it is not just some games might not run properly, if they are old enough to store settings and saves under the installation folder, the actual changes and added files might end up forgotten under the user's VirtualStore folder when they proceed to reinstall Windows falsely thinking that they have backed up everything already.

So, I've done some searching and don't see the easy way to do this. I moved my games folder, but they when I tried to launch the game, nothing happened.
I found scan foldes for new game, but it never found GOG games... I checked in the Goggames folder, the Games folder I moved in there, and the EOTB folder.
Plus, I have only installed via Galaxy... not sure how to do so otherwise

I moved my games back but... this is interesting to me. Just not sure how to get Galaxy to find them
Answered my own question... figured how to move the games.

First, went to the gear in Gog Galaxy top left
In the drop menu, go to installing and updating. Choose your game installation folder (set this up before hand, like create a folder C:\GOG\Games

Any new installs will go there

For games already installed, I went to their folder... for me it was in PROGRAM FILES\GOG GALAXY\GAMES.
I cut and pasted that GAMES folder and put in the new one I created.
Then, in GOG galaxy, I uninstalled the games that had originally been in that folder. Then Installed.

Boom. I only had 5 games installed... I am not sure about doing it in batches if you have LOTS of games
