	===== Aspect Ratio =====		===== Aspect Ratio =====
	Aspect ratio may be turned '''ON''' or '''OFF'''. Aspect ratio is generally recommended to be on. Most MS-DOS games were designed to be played on a 4:3 ratio monitor. Without aspect ratio enabled, this screen size is generally stretched out to fit to full width of todays 16:9 ratio screens. This leads towards distortion, such as circles becoming ovals or characters appearing to be "fat". Enabling aspect ratio will place black bars on the sides of the screen (when in full screen) to preserve the proper pixel size and shape.		Aspect ratio may be turned '''ON''' or '''OFF'''.

	===== Window Resolution =====		===== Window Resolution =====
			This affects the size of your window if you have chosen windowed mode above. Choices are: Small desktop resolution (less than 1080) Medium desktop resolution (1080) Large desktop resolution (4k)

			To be clear, the window sizes are not the same as the desktop resolution. Rather, these are window sizes chosen to best fit the noted desktop resolution. In order to preserve the proper scale of the screen, window sizes have been chosen that natively scale to the game's original desktop resolution.

			=== Adult Games ===
			The setup file will prompt the user to see if they wish to remove access to "adult" games within LaunchBox. This does not remove any actual files from the disk. Rather, it simply replaces the XML file that LaunchBox uses with one that has had the adult games removed. Adult games, for the purpose of eXo projects, are defined as those that had nudity are sexual situations. It does not include those which contain overt violence. Re-running the setup file and will provide a chance to change this setting and make a different choice.

			=== Initial Global Options ===
			At this point you may set the global options for all games within the project. These options are stored in the options.conf file in the DOSBox folder. At any time these options can be changed by either re-running the initial project setup and choosing to re-confgiure, or by running any games [[Installer]] and choosing to modify the global values.
