How to Adjust the Color on a DOSBox

DOSBox is an emulator for the PC that recreates the MS-DOS operating system on newer Windows operating systems, like Windows 7, as these newer operating systems do not offer native support for MS-DOS. There are many different video modes in MS-DOS, with each one changing the color palette. For example, the Color Graphics Adapter can display 16 different colors, while the Video Graphics Array can display up to 256 colors. Selecting the right video mode for your DOSBox game is essential to recreating the experience exactly as it was many years ago.

      Scroll down to the "[DOSBox]" section. Under "#Machine" is a list of all possible video modes DOSBox can display.

      Enter the video mode you want to use after "Machine=." For example, if you want to have DOSBox display colors in the CGA video mode, enter "Machine=CGA."
