I thought you might ask for that eventually, so I was in the process of making one. Here is one from a fairly well-known game, including the window title and borders. It's using ddraw for the output method, normal2x scaler, aspect=true. As you will see, the contained client window area is 640x467.

Yes, windowed mode. Any game that uses a 320x200 resolution, 16 color or 256 color... and that's quite a few of them. 😉 Some of the games I tried allow you to chose between VGA and MCGA in their setup options, and that made no difference, either.

Hi, I use the aspect correction feature in DOSBox, in windowed mode (not fullscreen), using the DDraw output method, and I like the result: corrected display aspect ratio achieved with subtle vertical blending of the pixel rows. But, I noticed something unexpected. I expected the 320x200 screens to …

I suppose it's unavoidable with a texture-based rendering approach. And as you say, it's not an issue of great significance.

After that last post, I just noticed something... the width of the screenshot is 640 pixels including the window borders. Paul, could the fact that the client window width is slightly less than 640 lead to this "seam" artifact?

Hmm, this got a bit off topic. Paul pretty much acknowledged the thing is there, so it doesn't seem to be a "happens for some, not for others" kind of thing... although some people might not notice it. This is a screenshot of the Core logo FMV that I chose because it's not as easy to see the "seam" …

The FMVs in TR1 do seem to play more smoothly now with the VESA emulation in Glidos 1.38, but I noticed a "seam" running down the middle of them that wasn't in previous versions. I'm not really sure how to describe it; it's not a gap, more like a column or two of pixels that are omitted and make the …

After some more testing I found my prior conclusions were partly incorrect. It seems that the digital sound dialogue from Natla and any of her henchmen in-game also triggers the CD audio to be shut off. I suppose this is to make what they're saying easier to hear. At any rate, if you save the game …

If the muting is being done by changing the volume level, I wonder if this is something that would be better done as an ehancement to VDMSound. For example, the volume control for the sound FX on TR's main menu works, but the "music" one doesn't. If VDMSound was translating the volume changes to the …

I've been using psVoodoo in Glidos 1.33rc5 mostly because I prefer that it doesn't seem to show objects through walls when the objects are farther away, as OpenGlide does. That secret-revealing "feature" of OpenGlide can create some pretty confusing views in complex areas like the Obelisk of Khamoon …

It's been too many years since I played TR in DOS to remember a muting (diminishing) of the volume of the CD audio like that; but I wonder how it would be accomplished. Perhaps the HMI sound system had a way to talk to the mixer controls of the various supported sound cards for that purpose?

Using the save, just slide down the slope and climb up through the window into the last room. The CD audio will cut off just as you cross the window ledge into the room and then Larson begins talking. Normally the CD audio should stay off at this point until you've gone to the next level, but the …

The Glidos site does have an audiopack available for download. I understand that it has some additional tracks from the PlayStation version of the game or some other source, and requires location-based triggers because the DOS version does not internally trigger them. I wonder if there's a subset …

Hi, I recently purchased Glidos to play Tomb Raider from an original CD, and have been raiding mostly free of problems... just the occasional hang in the NTVDM process between levels. I think Glidos works pretty well, overall, for something that allows a game produced almost a decade ago to run on …
