JBerel Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I keep going back to the earlier days of emulation and remembering a fork where some folks were either hacking arcade roms or replacing sprites to run with a specific emulator. If I remember correct, it ran pacman, donkey kong, galaga, and a few others. The intent was to run classic games in high resolution without the classic jaggy sprites. Weird premise, but something was attractive about playing the arcade roms in high resolution. Does anybody remember what that was or know of a similar current project? I haven't seen anything about it anywhere in a long time. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Cynicaster Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 I don't remember such a thing, but it doesn't even really make sense. Blocks drawn with more lines of resolution are still blocks. Besides, if smoother edges are desired, there are filter settings that can be applied to smooth things out. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NE146 Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 You're probably thinking of Emu-DX done by Mike DX which added nicer graphics to the original arcade gameplay. It was a work in progress and yeah I thought it was pretty cool. I believe he lost all his files in a hard drive crash though and the project was more or less abandoned. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JBerel Posted February 18, 2018 Author Share Posted February 18, 2018 I think you're right. That sounds familiar. I looked that up and the Wikipedia mentions it was revived.... Haven't found a new site yet though. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/EmuDX Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
