if you're into weird #MSDOS games, the Dos Game Jam community put together a compilation 'Demo Disc' with hundreds of megabytes of #DOS games and software, all presented with an authentic super menu by thp and friends. Includes a few of my dos #gamedev jam entries 😎

@voxel That’s brilliant! :)
I probably haven’t burned a CD since 2007 or so and given the hardware I have DOSBox with a retro filter would look *more* authentic (if you used to connect your PC to a bad TV anyway) than just straight up booting it…
I just use DOSbox filters. I don’t know anything about external shaders
[sdl]
fullscreen = true
fulldouble = false
fullresolution = 0x0
output = opengl
[render]
glshader = rgb3x
aspect = true
scaler = rgb3x
(Don’t remove the *other* key=value pairs in the dosbox config)
@akavel And that will definitely rough the picture up a lot. I’ve never actually seen DOS look like that. But, as I’ve never found PC/DOS video crunchy and delicious enough, it really works for me. Sometimes I’d like to emulate an amber or green screen with nice phosphor afterglow but I haven’t figured that one out yet.
PS: Only seems to take effect at low resolutions like 320x240.
