Fullscreen problems with Demul vs NullDC

So Demul is doing weird things to the game when it goes fullscreen, and I have no idea how to fix it because the video settings for Demul are pretty limited. I have a couple of images for comparison.

First ones are from NullDC in Fullscreen.

Sorry, new posters apparently can't add images or links.

In any case, the ones in Demul look terrible, and I'm not sure what I can do to fix it. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

Honestly I don't really see a major difference, the only thing I can think of is Nulldc runs at your desktop resolution by default unless you change it. You might me running Demul at 640x480 which might explain why it looks "bad" to you. I would suggest raising the resolution.

You really don't see a difference?

Also, I've changed the resolution for both multiple times, and NullDC always looks clearer than Demul, so it isn't that.

The difference is much clearer in the bottom picture.

Trry changing the internal resolution in Demul video plugin configuration.

I see the difference in the bottom picture. However I can't relate seeing I don't have that issue. Just throwing it out there as 480 looked like pure garbage when I first booted demul. Plus I didn't see anyone else jumping out there to give you a helping hand either so I figured I would at least try. Plus looking at the post with my phone probably didn't help matters any either.

Yeah, this part of the forum seems a little dead. For some reason, when I scale to 2x internal resolution, it looks better, but there's some noticeable lag during some events in the game, namely anything that bring up background images.

In the Demul test, with the internal resolution set to 2x, you can see that there's a massive slowdown when I fill the screen with sprites, even though they both looks like garbage on Youtube. This doesn't happen when I have Demul set to 1x resolution. In the NullDC test, there's minimal slowdown, and it looks better.

Also in the NullDC one, there's a part near the end where I show why I prefer Demul. NullDC has a problem with some sounds in this game, as you can tell with the pillar. It just loops the sound until I use a super. Demul doesn't have this problem, but now it just has a large amount of slowdown.

If you're still interested in fixing this I posted a workaround in this forum to get rid of the fugly blur in fullscreen.
