Not to be that guy, but why on a Ryzen? I can almost understand wanting to attempt this if your budget only permitted you to like get a cheapo core 2 duo machine. Either way though, it is nice to see that it still can be done and I almost want to now attempt it on my prescott which also has a pcie …

Does the list take into account broken copy protection? since SafeDisc and SecuROM were disabled, in a security patch. Nice question. I had tried to use custom patches to re-enable SafeDisc but failed in the attempt. The alternative was to use no-CD's, whose links' haven't been included in the list …

I am trying to play Turok 2 but Windows does an irritating work. After running once, PCA puts in a custom shim in the registry, which is in the attachment. This is not a user-applied setting, the issue of it is that the game loses it's resolution list and I can no longer play the game until I go to …

1) What are the alternatives to linedoubling? Problems such as "Input out of range" happens on my 17 inch monitor HD till date when trying to output 8K (yes I am aware of this) but even 1152x576(?). This is not even a low resolution. Does it mean GPU stops linedoubling at will? Linedoubling is to …

Can it mean linedoubling isn't supported on displays anymore or are they too afraid they'll lose users after they see an "Input out of range" 1) Linedoubling itself doesn't need support on displays. As far as the display is concerned, it's just getting a higher resolution image from the GPU. More …

Line doubling means what it sounds like. You set a 100x100 resolution, you're outputting 100 lines of pixels (left to right). The GPU might line double that to 200 lines of pixels. This will be transparent to Windows, it will still believe it's outputting 100 lines and any screenshots will be 100 …

Those legacy things are probably still implemented even over HDMI. Even if it wasn't, how would you know your HDMI to VGA converter itself doesn't linedouble? Actually with VGA a OSSC would tell you that, but most people don't have one of those lying around. I don't know what linedoubling is and …
