The funny thing is this thing actually happened. There was a chip called the Lucid Hydra 200 that allowed the user to combine a Nvidia card and an AMD card in multi-GPU configuration. They did it by intercepting the Direct3D calls and selectively delegating them to each GPU. It goes without saying …

Make sure you are viewing the image at its original size (1280x960). The problem is it adds a "hard" fuzzy edge to everything, which makes it look as if it's out of focus. A standard bilinear resize (which is what is actually used in the video industry - it's the default resampling algorithm on all …

I tried implementing this to see what it looked like, the answer: bloody terrible. Don't stare at it too long or you'll feel like you need glasses. This is why a proper bilinear 2x resize uses alternating weights of 0.75/0.25 instead of 1.0/0.5. How is this terrible? It preserves all image data …

For quite a while, I have been using the "normal2x" scaler (along with ddraw output) to scale my 640*480 games to 1280*960 (windowresolution is set to this resolution in the settings). This is effectively results in 2x scaling by line repeat, which is a decent scaling option in my opinion (it …

Those of us still using 32bit CPUs theoretically have the advantage of being able to run DOS games without the need for a virtualizer or a full emulator. But i haven't come across a single decent Virtual8086-based DOS emulator for Windows 7. This sentence really doesn't make any sense. Perhaps you …

Again, 3D Game or not, there's no emulator capable of outperforming DosBox. This is what i find perplexing. How its possible for a full emulator (DOSBox) to beat a virtualizer (VirtualBox) in terms of performance? Books say that virtualizers (VirtualBox) beat full emulators (DOSBox) in terms of …

Since you two cant understand a polite request, here is an impolite one: Stop bitching about the damn avatar here. Take it elsewhere or shut your pie holes now. If anyone wants to recommend a Virtual8086-based DOS emulator though, or knows whether i should use DOSBox or VirtualBox to run 3D DOS …

Topic people.

Are there any? Those of us still using 32bit CPUs theoretically have the advantage of being able to run DOS games without the need for a virtualizer or a full emulator.
