A staple.

This is a game collection, right? 🥹
Photo of a software big box "Over 300 Education, Games and business programs for the whole family." "Save Hard Disk space with our easy-t-use de-install topion, or play direct from CD." "Learn as you play" There are road signs explaining the genre of programs set to a picture of somewhere in remote outback Australia. The shrink plastic is still on the box.

Reminded myself of VGA overscan when testing a game build. The 1st palette index would set border colour, be that black or no. Here's Crystal Caves, early 1990s DOS game on IBM ThinkPad 1450 (Tillamook Pentium MMX 266MHz · Neomagic MagicGraph128XD) and a Trinitron E230 CRT #retrocomputing #DOSgaming
Here's Crystal Caves, an early 1990s DOS game running on my IBM ThinkPad 1450 (Tillamook Pentium MMX 266MHz · Neomagic MagicGraph128XD) and a Trinitron E230 CRT. There are 4 stitched together photos of the CRT on a desk next to the laptop. The photos show the VGA overscan border in red on game start and green in-level when all crystals are collected.

Wanting to apply any retroarch shader to arbitrary X11 Window contents on Linux to test CRT + upscaling on test art/gamedev WIPs, I created a retroarch core called Xcompy as a quick hack to do just that. Scroll through open windows with mouse-wheel. github.com/DOSisGOOD/xc... #linux
A screenshot of a screenshot of Warrior Blade III 1992 Arcade by Taito, with a CRT shader applied using XCompy, with the original screenshot window below it. Ignore the fact that the window title says Retroarch Xcomposite, I later renamed it to XCompy to make it more unique, as while it uses XComposite, it might be confusing to just call the core that. A screenshot of the RetroArch XCompy core rendering the contents of the DOSBox-X window running Commander Keen 6 by ID Software, with a bezel shader effect (I know DOSBox-X has shader support), and the original DOSBox-X window below it.
