Support NeoGAF

[Dagless M.D.]

I'm running a 9800pro, i've turned on Direct3d in the Fandango options, and i've got my ATI settings on custom with anti-aliasing on, but its still as jaggy as ever. Any help?

Some of those older adventure games that have pre-rendered backgrounds don't seem to work with AA. "The Longest Journey" doesn't work with AA either.

The Syberia games work with AA though.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

well, i've found some websites that mention using AA on GF, so i assume its possible

AFAIK, anti-aliasing does not work with Grim while using an ATI card. I never did manage to get it working, so I've simply assumed that it isn't possible.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

That sucks, I've got accustomed to playing games over 1024x768, and this is stuck at 640x480

You might try threatening your 9800 Pro with fire.

Actually, this hasn't worked for me yet, but it makes me feel better.

 

[Naked Snake]

I don't think I got it to with my GeForce either.

Why can you play it at higher resolution? Your monitor can't handle it? Or does the text shrink to a point where you can't read it?

 

[Dagless M.D.]

It uses 640x480 rendered backrounds, and there is no option to turn up the resolution

 

[Dice]

So the screens I've seen of it weren't downsized at all? Yikes.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

It seems the ScummVM team have a OpenGL emulater for the LUA based lucasarts games, but i cant seem to find anywhere to download it

If the backgrounds are 640x480 prerenders, they'll probably look worse when scaled up to a higher res. Only the real-time polygonal elements (like the characters) would see any real benefit.

really? that's hot. i hope they get it up and running quickly. i hate having to turn off hyper-threading every time i want to play grim fandango.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

upon investigation, it seems like 'Residual' (the name of the emulator) is still very early due to the fact that its a pet project of a pet project, so I doubt you'll be seeing it very soon

I used to use Anti Aliasing with The Longest Journey and Grim Fandango, with my Geforce 2 GTS.

I don't know why you are having problems, it makes the game look 100x better.

 

[Sjoerd]

Maybe it's because the game isn't direct 3d? It could be using a software renderer. Don't know for sure but it could be, since the game is quite old.

 

[teiresias]

Maybe it's because the game isn't direct 3d?

No, it's an ATI thing.

 

[Dagless M.D.]

This means that if I want to play it with AA then i'll need to put my GeForce2mx back in my computer
