I've been playing around with the scalers and pixel shaders in Dosbox to try and improve the graphics. Here's an album with comparison of various settings.

My opinion: I like HQ2x the best, next best is GS4xHqFilter. 2xSaI_sRGB and Super2xSaI make the text look odd. AdvancedAA looks a bit too muddy.

Which one do you like best?
I guess I'm old-fashioned, but I tend to prefer the original, pixellated graphics for most games. I like that crisp look rather than the soft edges that appear with shaders.

Me too I try to leave everything as close to the original release as I can get.

How do you adjust these? I'd love to get BAK to look like it does in your HQ 2 picture.

I'm using taewoong's build http://ykhwong.x-y.net/ with pixelshader=hq2x.fx, scaler=none, you can set the resolution to whatever makes sense for your display and whether you want aspect correction.

Is this a different verson of DOSbox or just ways to adjust the settings? The page looks super confusing.

yes its a different version with all the extra features bundled in. i guess you could use gog's build, download the shader and config it up. dosbox has a learning curve and anything beyond the gog setup takes effort.
