Hello everyone.
Sorry for the spelling errors . I am using Google Translate .
Several days ago I've caught a CRT monitor ( Sony Trinitron Multiscan 200ES ) for use with Ms dos games with Dosbox . I have made many tests with configurations .
Monitor to 1024x768 and 85 Hz : This is the resolution that looks best on the Windows desktop . With this resolution I set Doxbox follows :
fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=original
output=surface
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map
usescancodes=true
frameskip=0
aspect=true
scaler=normal2x
With this configuration the games look good, with bright colors, but pixelated , etc ... as this picture (look at the edges of the letters) :
But what I want to see 100 % original games at its native resolution ( 320x200 ) and without filters or scalers .
To achieve this do the following:
In the Nvidia control panel create a custom setting for this monitor to 320x200 and 70 hz or 75 hz ( it looks like ) . With this monitor resolutions I set dosbox follows :
fullscreen=false
fulldouble=false
fullresolution=original
windowresolution=original
output=ddraw
autolock=true
sensitivity=100
waitonerror=true
priority=higher,normal
mapperfile=mapper-0.74.map
usescancodes=true
frameskip=0
aspect=false
scaler=none
With this configuration the games look like this:
Thus the original resolution respects me and does not apply filters or scaling.
With this configuration when running dosbox fullscreen games are as originally they saw in my 486. No pixels and original graphics but have a problem . They look a bit blurry. They lack the intensity of the colors you see in the first picture. I tried to change the output to ddraw dosbox , surface , and openglnb opengl but are equally blurred.
What I want is to configure Dosbox games Fashion look 100 % real in my CRT monitor. No filters or scalers . 320x200 . The most real experience of my old 486 with 17 inch crt monitor.
Thank you very much for everything and sorry for the spelling errors .
