What am I doing wrong here?

I am trying to load "Strategy Games of the World" https://macintoshgarden.org/games/strategy-games-of-the-world into Qemu. I am emulating a mac 9.2 in Qemu. Normally I would use FileZilla but for some reason it can't connect despite me following the instructions to the letter. So I am trying to load ...

Re: color problems

So I understand that enlarging qemu will not enlarge the same from the top/down and it does from the left/right. My question is since my screen is wider than the screen the game/program qemu is running why can't qemu make it as tall as possible and as wide as possible without stretching out of scale ...

Re: color problems

Your right Qemu is having trouble keeping the scale of the graphics consistent but shouldn't Qemu automatically keep the dimensions the same but larger when in fullscreen? Isn't that why there are black boxes on the sides?

I love that Qemu can be set to fullscreen despite whatever screen resolution the emulator is set to and whatever resolution the host computer is set to. However it seems to cause some problems with color quality when I do.

Re: My BasiliskII sound drops out during playing games

For me "SimCity 2000" loses sound really quickly in Basilisk. Any game where sound is constantly playing such as with music increases the chance that sound will just stop, never work again while on, and the emulator will be unable to shut down or restart. It's one of the reasons I switched to Qemu ...
