Windows 95 OSR 2.5 color issue #4254

Open cnterr opened 1 year ago

Question

I installed Windows 95 OSR 2.5 on DOSBox-X following the official guide but I have a problem with the graphics by setting the color depth to 32bit, the colors are completely wrong, everything leans towards blue and every button or object has a different color from the rest of the window, in 16bit no problem. I also tried to install the S3 v.2.11.03 drivers but it doesn't change anything. In the official guide I found:

"If you use an older S3 driver you may experience graphical problems (green tint) in 32-bit colour mode. These problems may not be completely solved by upgrading to the latest driver. The only known solution for now if you used an older driver is to re-install Win95 and use the 2.11.03 driver instead."

If it refers to this I have already reinstalled more than once, Windows automatically installs its old driver before I can put the updated one, even setting VGA Standard during installation.

Have you checked that no similar question(s) exist?

Can you provide a screenshot and tell us what host you are on and which DOSBox version (SDL1, SDL2, minGW, VS).

Also the default S3 drivers are fine to upgrade from.

SDL1, same problem with defoult or 2.11.03 drivers.

Well, that is certainly not the green tint issue I was referring to. I have not seen that before. Which output= option are you using, and are you using any scaler?

cnterr commented 1 year ago

As an output I've tried TTF, Direct3D and Default, I'm not using any scaler however in TTF it is ignored, so if it was the issue with TTF I shouldn't have had any problems.

"Scalers should work with most output options, but they are ignored for openglpp and TrueType font outputs."

I made several attempts but the situation does not change, I also tried to use an image found on the web with its configuration but I encountered the same defect. Could someone who managed to use Windows 95 with 32bit color depth attach their configuration?

Among other things, following the guide I also noticed another little problem, using the SB16 Vibra with the updated drivers, the DirectX 8 test fails with the hardware acceleration enabled.

P.S. I think the tag should be changed to bug.
