budious Posted December 11, 2009 Share Posted December 11, 2009 So I was playing about with a Windows XP virtual machine installed on VirtualBox 3.1.0 in OpenSolaris (snv_128a) w/ Gnome 2.28.1 and Compiz features enabled. I need to experiment further with plug-ins, configurations of Compiz but my first runs proved successful enough that I would gloat about it. Basically, I'm running Rebellion in XP virtual machine at 640x480 then using Compiz zoom to soft scale the VM window up to a larger resolution. There are probably some additional filters, plug-ins, that can be enabled to provide some additional filtering to the zoom, or someone could develop if there isn't. http://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2753/rebellioncompiz.th.pnghttp://img17.imageshack.us/img17/2753/rebellioncompiz.png "In the future it will become easier for old negatives to become lost and be 'replaced' by new altered negatives.

Slocket Posted December 15, 2009 Share Posted December 15, 2009 (edited) I do not understand all that, but I think it looks cool and very good work; so it means that those with Vista, XP variants, and W7 can get old Rebellion to work on their machines I believe.

Budious your avi image -Yes! Yes!, not No, No,.... I.B. movie? Likewise, I don't understand all that... but Compiz is a series of desktop enhancements, it has been tightly integrated with the Gnome desktop environment but features are available in KDE and others. Gnome is supported on Linux, BSD, and OpenSolaris (Sun Unix). While a similar effect may be achievable with Windows desktop zoom tools (perhaps with included magnifying glass tools) or a third party application, I have not tried to reproduce a similar effect in Windows. Virtualbox is supported on Windows, Linux, BSD, Mac OSX, and Solaris (ofc). http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GNOMEhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Compizhttp://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VirtualBox "In the future it will become easier for old negatives to become lost and be 'replaced' by new altered negatives.
