Anyone know a particular DOSBox scaler looks/works particularly well with Settlers 2?
As configured by GOG, the game is set to run in original resolution - and this actually looks rather good on my LCD, but unfortunately the mode switches are annoying (my monitor is very slow to switch resolutions). I'd prefer to have DOSBox do the scaling if possible so I can run the game at my desktop res. I know the settings to do this, problem is that the end result doesn't look as good. I guess my monitor's built in scaling is better than DOSBox's default scaler.
I haven't tried messing around with all the scaler settings though (and the DOSBox wiki is currently down, making research difficult). For this type of game, I prefer the pixels to be smoothed as opposed to maintaining the original low-res look.
