DOSBox

What is DOSBox?

todo

tl;dr An app that wraps classic video games in an overlay or bezel interface in a way similar to emulation frontends, such as Emulation Station, Batocera, RecalBox, RetroPIe, and Lakka, that presents an immersive, engaging, and simplified interface that focuses on direct and easy access to quality of life features such as display scaling, controller mapping, performance tweaking, artwork, and modern system integration while preserving the original game experience.

Why?
- Many classic video games do not display well on larger monitors at fullscreen but also suffer from lack of immersion when run in a windowed mode
- Modern quality of life improvements, such as controller mappings, may be available but are difficult for average gamers to find and use

tl;dr Edit dosbox.conf file (or similar name) and set windowresolution=2560x1600 and fullscreen=false
On a 4K display, Dosbox will often start up as a tiny window. Even with normal2x and normal3x, it's not enough.
But going fullscreen can also be too large and unweildy
So, you need to set a custom resolution in the dosbox.conf file
- Ex. windowresolution=2560x1600 and fullscreen=false
