How is it that there is shader support? At first everyone was against it because it is crap and now dosbox contains shader support? Now does both work? No one was against it, but back then (over 2 years ago), the patch for the shaders and the one for pixel perfect scaling simply didn't work …

Yesterplay80, I also share your sentiment regarding the voodoo patch: an unfortunate but unavoidable consequence of unaccepted patches that touch the same area changed by upstream. Hopefully that patch author can refurbish it again or someone else can take up work. I think I managed to fix it …

OK, the problem is that I was not changing mididevice from default. Other Munt builds and I could have sworn earlier ECE builds did not need this. Yes, the first few ECE builds including MT32emu had it set as default, you're right. But I already changed that quite some time ago, because MT32 isn't …

And there goes the Voodoo patch, gone with r4319... TBH I find this to be a pretty inappropriate response. People have been complaining (loudly) that they want larger scalers, pixel-perfect resizing, this-or-that fancy resizing algorithm implemented... this takes care of all of those issues (or at …

The Munt emulation in ECE is not working for me anymore. It sounds like it cannot find the ROMs, even though they are present in the specified romdir and the ROMs work with earlier versions. I also noticed that if the ROMs are not present in the specified location it no longer tells you "MT32: …

I'd like to give your updated patch a try in ECE, Kisai.So, besides the patch and GLIBless fluidsynth source files, what would I need? Is the backporting you mentioned done in the patch or would I have to make changes to the fuidsynth source beforehand? If so, which changes are required?

So, while I still didn't find the time to read into GIT, at least I found some time to get a new build of DOSBox ECE compiled, based on the latest revision from SurceForge (r4318).

At this point, which version of ECE is the most feature complete, functional, and “non-broken”? r4301 The lack of support of .ogg and other audio formats for .cue is very limiting (my entire DOSBox CD library is in .OGG). Vanilla DOSBox supports OGG as audio files as well, it's MP3, FLAC and OPUS …

Okay, I saw that. Seemed more like a speed bump rather than a road block, so I was wondering if there was something else going on. TBH, the speed bumps are getting worse and worse.

@Yesterplay80 , @Ant_222 I think you already noticed, that recent SVN changes conflict with pixel-perfect patch. ... I don't plan to work on rebasing ECE on top of 4306 ATM - conflicts in there are much more severe. Yes, that's why I didn't update ECE since r4301, because I was waiting for Ant_222 …

To get the d-pad working either set joysticktype=fcs or use DOSBox ECE. The first analog stick should work out of the box anyway, to make two analog stick fully usabel, again, use DOSBox ECE. 😉

Quite a lot of games are actually 16:10, for example all those that run with an original resolution of 320x200 or 640x400. Only 320x240 or 640x480 (etc.) would result in a 4:3 aspect ratio.
