Dosbox configuration for Harvester on a 1920x1080 LCD

My settings for Harvester to make it run better

Dosbox configurations

There are two options for playing the game, regular dosbox and 'daum dosbox'. I have less troubles with the regular dosbox, so use that personally, but will provide my configuration for both options.

Firstly, go into your Harvester folder - in your Steam library, right click on Harvester, properties, browse file location. Go into the 'dosbox_windows' folder and open with notepad 'dosbox_harvester.conf'.

In here you will find your dosbox settings for the game. Search or look through near the top for the following:

------------------------------------------
[sdl]
fullscreen=true
fullresolution=desktop
windowresolution=1920x1080
output=ddraw
autolock=true
sensitivity=150

[render]
aspect=true
scaler=normal2x
------------------------------------------

When you have changed those items as necessary, save and close the file, right click on the file and select properties. Mark the file as 'read only' in case an update is ever released which might over-write the file. Note that if you 'verify game cache', it will see a modified file and change it back to default.

For the daum dosbox, I find at the start it does not autolock the mouse properly and I need to push 'CTRL+F10' to manually lock the mouse each time I start the game, so I prefer the regular dosbox.

However if you prefer to use the daum dosbox and do not mind potentially pushing CTRL+F10 each time you start the game, here is how to edit your daum conf:

From your Harvester folder, go into the 'dosbox_windows' folder, and then into the 'daum' folder. Again, open 'dosbox_harvester.conf' with notepad.

------------------------------------------
[sdl]
fullscreen=true
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=1920x1080
windowresolution=1920x1080
output=ddraw
autolock=true
sensitivity=150

[render]
aspect=true
scaler=hq2x
autofit=true
------------------------------------------

I hope this has helped someone from having to spend the time mucking around in the dosbox configuration file to correct the aspect ratio and the like - please note however I'm not an expert on dosbox configurations and there is probably a better option for rendering than hq2x/super2xsai/ddraw etc but I use what works.
