I tried scaler=hq2x/3x in addition to the advinterp ones, but those also crashed with output=opengl, fullscreen=true. I didn't try any of the others, except scaler=none, which worked fine. But then I had X-COM running in a tiny portion of my "full screen". That didn't seem super helpful.

I decided I didn't like the way the advinterp scaler worked (when windowed) anyway, because it made all of the text look rounded, as though it were drawn using some weird bubble font. And that's just not X-COMmy.

Now, I just have to figure out how I'm going to fit X-COM into my over-crowded schedule.]]>Timothy SandersThu, 08 Mar 2012 06:36:19 +0000http://hiddenjester.com/blog/2012/3/7/legally-getting-and-running-x-com-ufo-defense-on-os-x.html#comments647654:7541899:comment/17192559http://www.dosbox.com/wiki/Scaler lists several choices. I'm pretty sure I don't want full screen on my Mac Pro but I might try using opengl just to see if I can get fullscreen working.]]>TonyThu, 08 Mar 2012 06:06:18 +0000http://hiddenjester.com/blog/2012/3/7/legally-getting-and-running-x-com-ufo-defense-on-os-x.html#comments647654:7541899:comment/17192501
I've played with this a bit on my MacBook Pro and decided that I want to run in full-screen mode. To do so, I had to change:

fullscreen=true
output=opengl
scaler=normal3x

The "advinterp" scaling would crash on my machine when using output=opengl. But I don't think I liked the look of that scaler output anyway. Give me my pixelated DOS graphics without any fake smoothiness!]]>Timothy SandersThu, 08 Mar 2012 00:23:52 +0000http://hiddenjester.com/blog/2012/3/7/legally-getting-and-running-x-com-ufo-defense-on-os-x.html#comments647654:7541899:comment/17191080TonyWed, 07 Mar 2012 22:52:27 +0000http://hiddenjester.com/blog/2012/3/7/legally-getting-and-running-x-com-ufo-defense-on-os-x.html#comments647654:7541899:comment/17190828
