I'm interested in the scaler 6x fad going around for those of us with 4k monitors.
Are there any Dosbox builds with the render-scale'r Waifu2x included? Or other scalers like xBRZ(based on xBRv3.5) xBR(now beyond v3.8) Or NNEDI# ?
Can any of these be implemented from the config file? I'm aware some are resource intensive, but I have a pretty good rig, and I'd like to see if it can handle it.
OS: Win7 x64, Ult
GPU: Nvidia-Geforce GTX 1080 Seahawk
GPU-RAM: 11GB DDR5
CPU: i7 990x 6cores @3.7ghz,
SYS-RAM: 48gb DDR3 system-ram.
RAM-Disk: 16gb DDR3 "Z:" For all my emulation, (like PCSX2, 4DO, Dolphin, MAME, DosBox)
Monitor: DELL S2716DG 2560x1440 144hz refresh (G-sync included but disabled)
(Irrelevant note: Im not actually 4k'ompliant as you can see, but those types of monitors are on the rise, and when i can get one at 144hz, with a fast gray-to-gray cycle, i will, to support my dorky "nvidia 3d vision" shutter glasses.)
Also I hear that my GPU's (hard/soft)ware might already have some of these scalers but I've no clue how to enable them or call upon them from dosbox..?
I'm interested in seeing what the Waifu2x scale'r can do for emulation in turn-based games or small-change games like final-fantasy. But 5xBR-v3.8c i hear is real-time fast, and more updated then xBRZ, so perhaps it might be good for shmups like R-Type LEO. I rather like the smooth cartoony edging on some scalers, especially when they stay closer to the original color pallet. ( Paper Mario & Yoshi's island style is great! )
If Waifu2x is too ambitious, Can some one point out the right direction of any of Dosbox versions with the following scalers included?:
[
5xBR-v3.8c (or larger) |
xBRZ (which is a branch of the older v3.5) |
NNEDI3 |
advmame6x |
advinterp6x |
6xsai |
super6xsai |
supereagle @x6 |
hq6x |
Waifu6x (just Waifu2x reapplied to its own output a few times?)
]
and for true to original pixels, with no edge-smoothing filters during upscale:
[
normal6x |
pixel-perfect( http://www.vogons.org/viewtopic.php?f=41&t=49160#p515497 )
]
I don't have the ability to compile these into the dosbox tree. It seems that others may have done so here and there with one or 2 items mentioned above. I'm looking for any compiled builds that might have some or most of these options.
