    I need to force 4:3 aspect ratio, the only way to do so seems to be enabling expert settings, but doing so decreases performance and turns off midi support, i have managed to restore performance by copying the settings over, but i can’t do the same for midi support, can anyone tell me how to do this?

    Config:

    [dosbox]
    machine=svga_s3
    memsize=16
    #Amount of video memory in megabytes (0-8).
    # The maximum resolution and color depth the svga_s3 will be able to display
    # is determined by this value.
    # 0: 512k (800×600 at 256 colors)
    # 1: 1024×768 at 256 colors or 800×600 at 64k colors
    # 2: 1600×1200 at 256 colors or 1024×768 at 64k colors or 640×480 at 16M colors
    # 4: 1600×1200 at 64k colors or 1024×768 at 16M colors
    # 8: up to 1600×1200 at 16M colors
    #vmemsize=2
    #Amount of video memory in kilobytes, in addition to vmemsize
    #vmemsizekb=0

    You can generate expert settings from gui. Press button “get” on right to “main program”.

    THAT WORKED, thank you so much!

    The last problem i have, is i noticed while trying to fix the audio, that the pixels appear to be twice as tall as usual, doomguy’s eyes look very scary because of this, would you happen to know how to fix that too?

    Again, thank you very much.

    An edit to add some comparison images:

    Top: Magic Dosbox

    Bottom: Retroarch

    Edit: So far i have worked around this by just normally using the 80% screen toggle, and that looks fine, and then the one program that smushes in 2d mode, i just use the 4:3 option. So all i have to do is switch it for that one program.

    Yes, this is correct solution for now. I will add direct 4:3 resolution in next version, it was requestes earlier, but I forgot:)
