Graphics quality sub-par

[Homunculistic]

Why are the graphics so blurry rather than the sharp original? Is it due to the scaling of the emulator? Are there any settings we can change or emulators we can use for this?

I had the original game on Atari ST and miss the sharper more pixelated lines rather than the blur that is supposed to make it look better at scale.

check your DOSBox Settings. It sounds like a filter is being applied.

I don't see any DOSBox options with the Steam purchase. All I see is a Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade.exe as well as a sub folder containing INDY256.EXE. Should I separately run DOSBox and point to INDY256.EXE?

You don't know how to modify the configs for DOSBOX?

I know how to modify the configs for DOSBox; however, I purchased this game through Steam and have been running it through steam. Are you suggesting I run DOSBox independent from the Steam exe and point it to the Indy256.exe with my own settings?

Same problem, different user.

By local files I assumed you meant "...Steam/steamapps/common/Indiana Jones and the Last Crusade" but I can't find any DOSbox.conf file to edit. There is a suspicious file with a .vdf extension, when I opened that in notepad there is a line that says smooth graphics '1'. I tried setting that to 0, but it didn't have any effect. Am I looking in the wrong place?

Try alt+s in-game.

There's no DosBox or ScummVM in Steam versions of Loom, The Dig and both Indiana Jones. It's using its own engine ported to Windows.

Alt-S works, by the way.

Wow... can't believe no one could answer this post... Yes, there are filters on. Run the game windowed and then from the game's menu bar, select preferences and turn off smoothing. Viola.

It looks like HQ2x filtering to me. If you don't like it, remove the Scaling line from your config.

It's definitely not HQ2x. I know it because I use HQ2x for LucasArts games on ScummVM emulator and the picture in HQ2x in ScummVM looks much better than the filtering in Steam version. I think it's also neither AdvMAME2x nor 2xEagle nor 2xSAI, because (If I remember correctly) I tried all of them in ScummVM and they are different too.

The Steam version uses some other kind of filtering. IMHO, the ugliest one.

Myself, I prefer HQ2x on 1366x768 / HQ3x on FullHD on ScummVM, it looks pretty beautiful for me.

I've always felt that for old games like this, you either need to play on a CRT monitor for the proper experience or make those jaggies known. Any filter that increases the pixellation is what I recommend for stuff like this.
