Apologies if this is the in wrong section. I posted this at another forum but figured it may be of interest to some of you here also.
I've got a Sony BVM A series monitor that gives a bloody amazing picture especially when fed with a 15kHz signal.
One thing that always bugged me about old VGA DOS games is the blocky graphics (the true resolution is 200p, but the VGA cards internally upscaled the output to 400 lines).
What I plan to do is use a TSR to convert the video mode to 15kHz in order to output a true 200p signal. I'm confident this will work as one of the guys over at the Shmups forum has had success, however he only tried a few games and left it at that.
This is the sort of result I'm going for: http://imgur.com/r/crtgaming/8Q1vf
Note that was done with DOSBox but I'll do it with real hardware.
I'll be in a position to do this in a few weeks (just waiting on some parts I've ordered). If I'm successful I'll make a list of games which work and will be happy to answer any questions if you want to give it a go yourself!
Does anyone have requests for games they want photos of? The more suggestions the better as I'm looking for new games to try myself.
Has anyone tried something similar?
Cheers
