There is a cd emulation error within ECE. We have found it in 3 games recently. The easiest to find example is with The Secret of Monkey Island VGA CD. This issue is confirmed to only exist within the ECE build. It does not exist in other DOSBox forks. I have tested the most recent build (4456) as …

Please add LFN support. Honesty, I don't see much benefit in adding LFN to ECE, if any at all, as it's primary use is still running DOS games. And I think using long file names with those would create more problems than it would be useful. Why don't you just use on of the other, more advanced forks …

Would you mind either making this check optional or modifying it to just display a warning message in the Status Window but still continue down the code path that plays the track? That would enable me to post the script that creates the oversize image and makes few necessary changes to the game …

I just tried and you're right. But the same happens with regular SVN, so it doesn't seem to be a problem caused by ECE. Could you try that version as well, please?

I know there is a "sharp" shader built in into ECE, but this one requires the output to be exactly a 4:3 aspect ration, so this one won't do the trick. Just to be clear: No shaders are "built in" into ECE whatsoever. Did you try the pixel perfect shader you can find here: https://github.com/tyrells …
