Mmm, makes sense about the button colors. Alwyas played this "for high performance PCs". I really don't like the look of thse "grey-yellow" buttons... I guess this is not configurable in Lemmix?

As for the aspect ratio: indeed it's not straight forward for CRT's, but commonly they are considered to have a 4:3 aspect ration, right? That's not quite the case for Lemminx. The menu for instance is almost filling my 1920 x 1080 screen, being more towards 16:9 then 4:3. Also actual game screen is 1600 x 1000 pixels, which is by far not a 4:3 aspect ratio?

Anyway, I'd like to stick with the original Lemmings, to be honest. I like the CD audio too of the version I have.

My CD has green lettering and the image of a Lemming (also in green). It's indeed the Lemmings + Oh No More Lemmings CD and it also has the increased spat heigth. Since it only affects very few levels, I don't mind a lot.

In the meanwhile I tried out Lemmix, but there are quite some issues with it. Maybe you can configure it, I don't know, but "out of the box", the aspect ratio is way off, and also the colors are not OK. In attachment a screenshot of the original Lemmings (not pixel perfect, but with the correct aspect ratio and the correct colors), and a screenshot of how Lemmix looks like on my PC (notice the wrong aspect ratio and wrong colors on the buttons). I know a lot of people think that the grey-yellowish buttons are the correct ones, but this is not the case. The buttons should be dirt-colored. This was how I played it back in the days on my 486 PC.

Yeah, if you are happy with a small screen, scaler=normal2x will do the trick, I guess. The real problem is not to get "a game" scale pixel perfect with rectangular pixels, because the pixel perfect patch does this perfectly, but the biggest problem is that this patch (and another version I found), do not cope well with the machine=vgaonly parameter. Apparently even some of the shaders for the latest DosBox ECE also have trouble with this setting.

Also the PPP (Pixel Perfect Patch) is not supported anymore in the latest DosBox ECE versions, which is a pitty, because it works great for other games that don't need the machine=vgaonly option.

I'll try out Lemmix, thanks for the tip, but I'd really like to get my old CD (with CD audio ;-) ) running too. I'm a bit frustrated that something seemingly so simple, is so hard to do in DosBox. At this moment I think a custom shader for dosbox to mimic the behaviour of the pixel perfect patch, is my best option, but I didn't come across a shader that does exactly that. The "pixel perfect" ones out there, require an exact 4:3 aspect ratio and can't handle a 5:4 one... :-(

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.
