Default The DIG in Dosbox - tiiiny little game window...

So it plays, and I have sound and a great framerate...
The only problem is it's in a 2X4" window, and I'd like it to be bigger.
I'm a bit green on fiddling with the config file, so some hints would be appreciated.

From the DOSBox readme:

Q: How do I change to fullscreen ?
A: Press alt-enter. Alternatively: Edit the configuration file of DOSBox and
change the option fullscreen=false to fullscreen=true. If fullscreen looks
wrong in your opinion: Play with the option fullresolution in the
configuration file of DOSBox. To get back from fullscreen mode:
Press alt-enter again.

Really? What's different? I always thought that the games looked the same...

You can turn the screen filtering on in ScummVM. Actually you can turn it on even in DOSBox, but the one in ScummVM is better. Here is a sample, I used hq3x filtering for both Scumm and DOSBox.

DOSBox:




ScummVM:
