Msg: Re: DosBox-x 43x132

Hi Harry,

I think it is a pretty good request. Thus, I have decided to update the DOSBox-X binary so that in its Z drive you will find a zip package named TEXTUTIL.ZIP which contains various text utilities such as 132X25.COM, 132X43.COM, 132X50.COM etc. Unzip the package using the built-in UNZIP.EXE tool to a mounted directory, and then run 132X43.COM which will switch the DOSBox-X text screen to 43 rows by 132 columns. You can download the latest DOSBox-X binary package from:

Hope this helps.

Sincerely,

Wengier

Does anyone (Ed M.? Wengier?) know how to set DosBox-x to 43 rows by 132 columns. I have pursued this on GitHub and the Wiki, but run into dead ends. For example, there are references to .cpp files, but I don't think I have those. If I found them, I wouldn't know how to use them (autoexec.bat? new lines in the .conf file?)

In the .conf file, I set

windowresolution = 1920x1080

but that did not help with Xy's d sw=132.

There is a reference to

https://github.com/emendelson/dosbox-x/commit/29f8d55e319d27627adc5e3686310d3da6bef17b

but that gives a 404 error

I also see a "tw" setting but I don't know where it would go or what to do with it.

Ideally, as with vDOS-Plus, one would put into the .conf file lines like:

columns=132

rows=43
