I know there's a way of doing this but can't remember how. The game works perfectly, but has black bars either side (as it was obviously designed pre-widescreen). I'm sure there's a line you can add to the dosbox.conf file to stretch the video to fill the screen. Any help would be much appreciated :)
Here's my .conf file at the moment:
[sdl]
output= overlay
fullresolution= 0x0
fullscreen= true
autolock= true
[render]
aspect= true
scaler= none
widescreenmonitor= true
widescreenmode= stretch
[cpu]
core= normal
cycles= 10000
[autoexec]
cls
@ECHO OFF
mount C "."
c:
cd \
SIERRA.EXE .\resource.cfg
exit
Thanks!
Andrew

Remove the fullresolution=0x0
Keep in mind that the game was not made for widescreen monitors and you will get very unnatural stretching of the screen, where everything will be horribly "squished". The fullresolution=0x0 will pillarbox it and keep the natual proportions, but with the black bands on the sides.

Thanks! Didn't think of removing that line.

I got mine to run full screen by making the game run in 640x480 resolution (in the compatibility tab of the icon's properties)

That is not what he was talking about. He has a wide screen monitor and was wanting to run it without it being pillarboxed. Besides, there is no reason to run DOSBox in compatibility mode. Anything that you need DOSBox to do, you should set it in the conf file.
