I can't any info if Dosbox can emulate composite monitor "tricks" on CGA-mode, like those used in Ultima II.

🤣 I forgot about that thread. I like how there is 4 pages of interest punctuated by wd then saying that it won't be implemented because "nobody cares". Then there's the comparison screenshot on the Wikipedia page for CGA of Ultima 2 running with and without CGA composite artifacts...
