TL;DR: aspect ratio for old DOS stuff wasn't set in stone as some of the more pedantic folks out there like to imply. It's not a position you should need to show wrong by finding counter-cases, though. If someone claims something was intended in a particular way, they're expected to provide the …

Newest version of the visionrgb capture utility, whoever was asking for a dl in pm. As before, this is available for a limited time. Works on my visionrgb-pro2, should support the pro1/2, e1/2, and some other older datapath cards, but you have no guarantees. http://personal.inet.fi/muoti/eimuoti/ …

The videos were captured using custom software I built on a framework originating at trolltech. You can say I worked with them, but really it's unpaid community work.

One of the many advantages of 640 x 480 is that it equals 307200. Try 1024 x 768 = 307200 and you see it doesn't work, so 640 x 480 is the way to go if you care about accuracy.

What needs to be followed is in the videos, the rest you substitute with your opinion.

Same as before, all settings max, 32-bit color (if supported), 640 x 480.

in Homeworld and Soulbringer, the GeForce2 draws certain shades of red as grey, for instance. Had a look at the software version of homeworld, and it's actually the geforce2 that renders the colors correctly. Both the g400 and the voodoo3 do it wrong, relative to the software engine. Still wrong in …

People who remember the g400 from back then probably often didn't have the benefits we do now, more mature drivers and faster cpus. Not sure how fast the gf256 t&l engine is, but the g400's t&l engine here is the athlon xp, which may be the faster one. The videos are vga capture by the way, so …

Re: Youtuber falsly showing Nvidia footage and calling it 3dfx for views

Doing it for views is probably against youtube's tos. The thread title says he's doing it for views, but that seems more a guess than fact. Probably best to contact him directly and make a reasonable case for your viewpoints.

Used to use one of those digital in/out thermometers with a probe to put outdoors, once they became cheap in the end of the 90's. Drilled a little hole in the CPU heatsink base for the probe. Worked surprisingly well :) You can get some cheap 1-wire sensor chips and route them through to your main …

All the displays at the time where 4:3, and I dont't recall latterboxing the display settings to be 16:10 being a thing. In this case its possible to deduct the intended aspect ratio from the Lucas arts logo at the beginning. I likewise recall people settling for good enough when it came to image …

probably a carry over from my other hobbie movies, where there are smilar issues around pixel definition and film that is analogue and has no pixels. Original aspect ratio or in this case orginal intended aspect ratio is something that I don''t compromise on. Hoagie is fat enough in 4:3, no need to …

You'd duplicate the design, but a modern display doesn't duplicate a crt, so you end up adapting. This implies aesthetics, which implies mutability. The dott remake keeps the 4:3 proportions but hides the pixels - pixels aren't the focus on a crt, they aren't the focus in the remake, and the design …

Incidentally, someone can tell whether the pcem virge emulation (probably d3d) is performing normally in the latter part of this video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CymoKAu33vo. The first part shows the reference software renderer. My guess is the virge emulation is not succeeding.

Is the AV.io compatible for DOS resolutions? I can't find any information about that. Apparently not. I had asked Epiphan support about that a while ago and this was the answer: "The AV.io HD wouldn't be able to capture from your example resolution of 320x200 unfortunately. The lowest VGA signal …
