You maybe know the Problem you want to use a new TFT with your DOS System playing Games.
There serval hardware solutions to get your Signal working 4:3 but the main problem i focus on is to get a 4:3 picture with 70Hz on a correct resolution.
First at all the TFT. I choose a 1920x1200 one with support up to 75Hz.
Reason for this is i also want to use the panel for 1600x1200 Win98/3dfx Gaming.
I know there serval old TFTs like the Ultrasharp 2007FP, but i like to focus here on new Panels.
There also newer TFTs that handle the 4:3 better than other.
Next the GPU. I testet many DOS boards from the timeline, but i got best results with a Voodoo 3dfx gpu.
Because there so much upscalers out there i want to find a solution to get the best picture.
So would be nice if you share here your tests and results.
The start is an Analog Signal.
Goal is: Analog/Digital output 4:3 @70Hz with a "correct" Resolution
I start with my tests so far:
-- OSSC -> Framemeister -> HDMI output
The OSSC shows the 70Hz signal from the VGA.
The Framemeister is able to output the OSSC (x2 Scaler) signal with 4:3 Aspect ratio @60Hz.
No 70Hz, i think the framemeister regulate it to 60Hz. Well its not the best unit for PC signals at all..
-- XRGB3 (results foloow soon)
Please share your results / Hardware you use for DOS Gaming on modern TFTs!
