Bug #: 30056
           Summary: Feature request: Graphical scaler algorithms
           Product: Wine
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: x86
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P2
         Component: gdi32
        AssignedTo: [e-mail]
        ReportedBy: [e-mail]
    Classification: Unclassified

Projects like DosBOX or ScummVM allow choosing a scaler algorithm which
increases the size of fixed resolution games with beautiful results. Here's a
nice comparison picture of one of the algorithms:

I'm aware that this slows Wine down as long as the feature is activated, but
this is only used for very old games anyway (newer ones run on different
resolutions anyway) with no 3D, like "classic" RPGs. Since this is not a
problem on modern PCs with e.g. DosBOX I thought this would be a very nice
addition for Wine as well.

What do you think?
