![]() ![]() This is what the tool was named and originally created for, but it isn't the full extent of it's limits. ![]() This downsampling can greatly improve the visual fidelity of the game, without using a higher-resolution monitor. ![]() For instance, right now it can force a game to output at an insane resolution (there is theoretically no limit) and down-sample it to the actual resolution of your monitor. This allows it to do a whole lot with how a game gets input from the player, or how it is presented. You can check his blog for more in-depth explanations (and in fact the tool is open-source, so you can see exactly how it works if you're into that), but basically the way it works is that it intercepts the transmission of data from the OS to the game or from the game to the graphics API (DirectX for instance) and modify that data in some way. He also wished that, what DSfix and DPfix did for their games, he could do with other games or in fact any game developed for the PC! Enter: GeDoSaTo (Generic Down Sampling Tool).Īs I understand it, GeDoSaTo is a program that allows alterations to a game's input and output, e.g., change how and what graphics are presented to the player. So Durante looked at the utilities he made for Deadly Premonition and Dark Souls and realized how similar their programming was. I've seen a few people on the forums mention it, and it's been in the works for a bit now but I thought I would inform anyone who doesn't already know about this amazing (if unfinished and strangely named) tool. That made me wonder if perhaps not everyone knows about his latest work. For those who don't know, Durante is a programmer who created utilities for a few PC ports, namely Dark Souls (DSfix) and Deadly Premonition (DPfix) to fix some of the graphical errors and allow various modifications (texture modding, screenshoting, downsampling, anti-aliasing etc.) that those games do not natively support. So in the recent WAN show, Slick mentioned the modder Durante and how he wishes he would, "come back," to fix all of our bad PC port woes. ![]()
