Set a manual cycle speed in the config file.

They could have just made the Start menu toggle (so it stays up when you press it) and made it fill the screen with icons you can move around. Start menu 2.0 so to speak.

That's a lot of caps to replace 😵

Just make sure you rule out that the graphics card driver doesn't do any scaling quietly 😀 We got some new 19" with LED backlight at work, I might test them and report back.

Cool 😀 Ok got Breakneck and Drakan going. Nice benchmarks. The GOG.com version of 2150 wouldn't load. Looking at the script I could see a lot of registry entries and INI files. Haven't found an easy way to process these under Windows 98SE.

Cool I was on the right track 😀 PS: How do you remember all these file names? I have a very bad memory and need to always look up stuff like that 😊

Thanks will check it out! A bit OT but also relevant to benchmarking old glide games. GOG.com games that come with nGlide. How to remove nGlide? Just delete the DLL files inside the game directory? I could get Hitman 47 going this way, but it had glitches at resolutions higher than 1024 x 768. Or …

I invested in a solder sucker station. While I don't desolder much, when I do, it's a painless process and the final results is worth it.

But isn't lead solder now banned in EU countries?

Driver attached! Windows should notice the new card and ask for drivers. Unpack the drivers and point Windows to them. You can also do this via the control panel.

Haven't used VirtualDub in ages! Some of my early DOSBox videos I upscaled it similar to yours. However I nearest neighbour upscaled to 1440 x 1080 and uploaded it to YT that way.

Nice post! DOS games (320 x 200) actually run at 70 Hz anyway 😀

True. Especially if running at a higher bus frequency means you need to run your memory and / or cache with more loosely timings.

Out of curiosity, don't the more recent nVidia drivers support this in a roundabout way? Yes I heard about that. I believe they use it as a form of AA. I have always used 3x in DOSBox in combination with OpenGLnb (non bilinear). That gives nice sharp pixels. Can't stand the soft / washed out look. …

Try changing the machine type setting. The one that allows you changing graphics cards.

I like a selective mix of both worlds. For example I do like authentic speed, scrolling, sound and music. But I don't miss authentic ball mice, floppies, slow computers. It is very subjective however. I do like LCD monitors for example. And the question of "how the designer intended", does this …

Believe me, I have searched. But for some reason I never find these sited 🙁 I find a TON of benchmarks but they never explain how they do it. Very annoying and tedious.
