Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

(Sorry for the harsh reply btw. But currently looking at FreeBASIC as an enthusiast IDE only. Also, I don't understand why a project seeks to emulate the DOS environment but can't even provide the basic features like a full screen output... By which I don't mean a full resolution output, but an ups...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

Repost: UPDATE: I have removed all algos from my system I've downloaded from this site, except the NLU one by counting_point. Not the 2nd edition that was a bit more complex and difficult to understand, but the much simpler first one. Plz do NOT rewrite this algo for much faster speed. Certainly, th...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

Anyways, plz make a +20fps version of counting_pine's natural LCD upscaling exactly the way his algo worked, but at really insane speed... How much are you willing to pay for that? You are commissioning a work, with that request. Nil. Here are my options: 1. Already have it in C# (managed to tweak ...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

Really? You don't think the default settings produces too much digital glare? For instance, I try to focus on that 10 in the Mario+Yoshi pic, but the algorithm really strains my eyes. Sure the pic is looking very sharp after the filter but the eyes don't want to look at any spot for too long. Yes, ...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

(But as far as I can tell the original Mario+Yoshi pic in the DATA folder would have done just fine too...) Ok, included the original image and the one that was above (which is Dungeons of Grimlor II). That one is particularly useful for fine-tuning ;) Very well, here it is: https://github.com/glas...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

It must have been a 320x200 game that was upscaled 2x. But this is how it actually appeared in DOS, as a 640x400 game... Anyways, how about this one then? http://pcgaming.ws/screens/3/hexxagon.gif (But as far as I can tell the original Mario+Yoshi pic in the DATA folder would have done just fine too...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

As for reference image... Let's give this one a try:

Image

(It's 640x480, but I'm thinking it could be cropped down from the top left to 640/1.5x400/1.25)

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

I did this all on a touch screen (so I apologize if it doesn't look as good as with keyboard and mouse):

(Full screen res is 1280x800. Bicubic looks so yucky. The last image looks like... MineCraft!)

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

If I understand correctly, scaling up using nearest-neighbour after running my algorithm will result in the interpolation rows/columns from my algorithm being blown up to 2-3 times the size? The crisper solution is to run my algorithm after nearest-neighbour, or to do everything with my algorithm (...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

I got onto my fbc machine and gave the code a trial test. I'm getting 33fps. It's pretty impressive, considering this is a CherryTrail tablet PC. It will take me some time to understand the code and implement, so I will report back if there are any problems I may encounter. Now, I didn't want to rai...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

I have tweaked the code a bit. GAS is good, my favourite compiler. I get 500 fps. Nice! I would like to see the code, too! [...] >20fps would be insane, enough to animate the graphics. Ok, I finished it. Download it from my repo, here: https://github.com/glasyalabolas/fb-image-resize-demo . It's me...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

Plz make the code super-easy to customize. For example, the old CRT monitors had pixels that were 20% taller than wider. On LCD displays, the pixels are squares to allow for landscape/portrait orientations. BUT my preferred pixel size is 20% wider than taller, just the opposite of CRT monitors. (I ...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

Hi Paul doe Your image stretcher code didn't work here. Hi, dodicat Yes, it had an off-by-one error (product of the interpolation). It's working correctly now (you can use it with any image), download it from the link I provided above, if you want to test it. Your code is a bit slow (I get ~20 FPS ...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

(Are you glasyalabolas?) Yes, that's my repo: https://github.com/glasyalabolas . Been spamming the forum with it =D If it's no problem for you to add the smoothing, please do! +1. I barely get 1fps in C# and this is using parallel processing with speed tweaks. >20fps would be insane, enough to anim...

Re: Does anyone know what algo XP -> full screen DOS?

I'm not sure if this is what you want: https://github.com/glasyalabolas/fb-image-resize-demo The algorithm is very similar to the one by counting_pine, but without the smoothing (adding it is no problem, though). (Are you glasyalabolas?) If it's no problem for you to add the smoothing, please do! I...
