Full Screen, or scale?

[clcwolf]

When I launch with the shortcut steam installed, I get a full screen (blank) CMD window, with the game running in a teeny tiny DOSBOX emulator in the background. Now, I can alt+tab over to that, of course. However, I don't want to play with a window that takes up ...maybe 3X4 inches or something on my monitor.
Is there a way to scale this window that I am missing?
Some dosbox command line switches or something?

If you want to perform a manual override, look in the folder Star Trek 25th Anniversary where you store your steam game images. The launcher is "Launch Star Trek 25th Anniversary.cmd" which invokes dosbox. The file dosbox_st25.conf has the main settings, however, only change these values if you know what you're doing.

So this game was just thrown out there without any optimisation! Just dosbox. What a lazy developer trying a quick cash grab. heck, she can't even be bothered to finish her other early access game, "Battle chess" .

I don't know what I am doing, that's why I posted here.
Can anyone tell me what to change in this file to make the game window a more reasonable size?

Once the game is loaded alt-tab or click over to the game window and hit alt-enter to make it full screen.

Just dosbox (set-up already so you don't even need to mount harddrive-space and set emulated hardware on your own) because it's all that's actually needed to run the game on a post-DOS OS... What would you want MORE?

It's super-convenient already, runs stable and scales to high resolutions while not looking bad at that.

Can find a way to scale it but I did find how to adjust the size of the window.
I have mine set in a windowed screen of 1600x900. I can play it in full screen but at the OP states I find that if i Alt Tab out of it (too look at the star map etc) then I return to find a tiny windowed screen.

I fixed this by altering the dosbox_st25.conf file options (c:/Programfiles(x86)/steam/steamapps/common/star trek 25th anniversary/dosbox_st25.conf)

fullscreen=false
windowsresolution=1600x900 (enter what you like here)
output=opengl

You also have to make sure you type in "fixed" for the entry "fullresolution".

I had a load of issues, mouse not working, full screen not sticking, but following this video and using ddraw when mentioned sorted it:
