Help & Guides / Run Lemmings "Pixel Perfect" in DosBox?
« on: January 19, 2021, 01:41:04 PM »
Hey all, I'm new on the forum. I was a huge Lemmings player back in the days and recently discovered my game CD with both Lemmings and Oh No more lemmings and was able to play it in DosBox.

But I'd like to play Lemmings on my 1920 x 1080 monitor, but in "pixel perfect" mode. With this I mean that each pixel of the game is represented by a rectangular amount of monitor pixels. In my case, I'd like the width to scale by 4 and the height to scale by 5, resulting in a 1280 x 1000 screen where each "game pixel" is a razor sharp rectangle of 5 x 4 "monitor pixels". The aspect ratio will be 5:4, which is slightly of, because the correct aspect ratio will be 4:3 (this is achievable on a 1600 x 1200 monitor, where the width can be multiplied by 8 and the height can be multiplied by 6, but unfortunately, I don't have such a monitor).

In the older DosBox ECE versions there was a pixel perfect patch that did exactly what I wanted. Only problem was that it could not handle the "machine=vgaonly" parameter in DosBox, needed to get the colors correct in Lemmings.

I've tried some of the pixel perfect "shaders" that are available to use in the new DoxBox ECE, but unfortunately these shaders want to scale to a perfect 4:3 aspect ratio, so also no option for me.

I already asked my question on the Vogons website, but without any success. So I figured I might try my luck here.
