Hey all -- Galaxy 2.0 newbie here, apologies if this question has been asked/answered before (I searched the forum first, honest!).

My question regards launching GOG games powered by DOSBox under Galaxy 2.0. While these games ship with a ready-to-go DOSBox configuration, I have never liked some of the choices GOG made in that configuration -- things like defaulting to full screen rather than to a window, for instance.

In the past, there was an option in Galaxy that would pop up a dialog box where you could change some of these options -- switch from fullscreen display to windowed, specify the resolution that window should have, change the DOSBox "output" mode to use a different graphics engine, etc. But I can't find any similar option in Galaxy 2.0, which means my DOSBox games I launch through it all get the default GOG configuration that I don't like.

Is there a way in Galaxy 2.0 to make these kinds of modifications? I know you can probably still go into the game's directory and modify the configuration files in there with a text editor, but I was hoping there'd be some easier method in 2.0 analogous to the one that we had in Galaxy 1.x.

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

Hey, so you probably already figured this out, but the "Graphic Mode Setup" option can still be selected in the Windows start menu, in the game's folder. I was recently looking to change several DOSBox options for Doom and ran into the same issue. Can't seem to find it anywhere in Galaxy 2.0, not sure why they removed it.

Find the file:
dosbox_eob1.conf

Open it with a text editor and find the line:
fullscreen=true

Change to:
fullscreen=false

Worked perfectly for me on MacOS 10.15.7
