You'll want to use a frontend like DBGL or Dfendreloaded

I'm not sure if those are fair comparison shots though... being reduced a res down, a colordepth down and other settings down. The q3 shots being most blatant of them

Quick Q: Should I do a compact OA build with no sounds, just one level and two player models and a couple demo files (benchmarking/screenshot taking), just for this thread? I want to see how bad opengl implementations screw up on obscure hardware. 😀 but SDL might fault it first.

Real DOS doesn't do that some SVN builds have a patch that preserves timestamps fun fact: this makes shitty abandonware copies a dead giveaway 😀

Am I missing something here? Last time I checked, this is a SB driver thread not a bitch about internet drama thread which no one will give a shit about either.
Re: A feature request. selectable MHz for emulation.

DOSBox would need a big rewrite for that kind of thing. PCem can allow you to emulate a 40MHz 386 and perhaps a 25MHz 486-SX. Pentium 60s are a bit far up though...

Deskpro? Ew. You can't even fit any worthy PCI video card in those such things. Forget about upgrading!

you're using dosbox for a day job. a bad idea to begin with. QEMU, VirtualBox, VritualPC... ANYTHING else would be supported for your task, not DOSBox. DOSBox is for games. We only care about games.

Anyone sharing Dosbox preferences for output/scaler on LCDs? I use 0x0 tv2x forced on ddraw doublebuffered. I still miss the phosphors fading and a bright image though 🙁

Not for me. The whole 'faster in DOS' seemed like a placebo effect. Then again I did have 64mb RAM at the time..... 😳 🤣

SSF2T supports both MIDI and CD music. IIRC a patch enabled midi music in the full game And if it's slow as a snail, try a different output mode like ddraw or opengl. Your notebook may not have a 8bpp friendly video controller

640x480 works fine for me too, with the usual svga_s3, ram 32. Definitely NOT a Dosbox problem.

That's because the Rage isn't doing that transparent surfaces itself - the cpu is, through the driver ! and that's what made rage suck. You can't even modulate the alpha blend or even use GE128 alphatest. I even tried getting OA to run on Rage Pro better - turns out my optimal effects don't make a …
