Running Windows 3.0 MME in 320x200 resolution

[ovctvct]

You probably already know that 3.0 MME includes a 320x200x256 color driver. I used the experimental pcem to run it(any VGA card works), and this is the outcome(this is just an experiment, I got it running at 800x600x24 bit color on exp. pcem as well):

Is there any way I can make the fonts more readable? I know it's an extremely low resolution, but I want to see how "usable" it is.

Before This topic was posted, I acctuly tried running Minecraft at 320x200 and it looked quite funny

There is not. Remember that this is running with a 200% scaling - if you resize this to actual 320x200, you will see that the system font used is a piece of pixel art specifically designed to both occupy the least space and to be the most readable.

To put alphabeta's post into perspective, PCEm is actually kicking off 640x400 resolution as stated.
Here is the window cropped out:


Then, if you resize to actual 320x200, it looks far better:


I would hate to see this running on one of those 2-3" 320x200 screens.

Once I get home I'll try make that a reality
You know those little 1.5" digital photo keyring things? I have one that can be controlled via USB. Add a python script and bam we have Win3.1 "streamed" to it... in theory. I've done it with Androidx86 before on a VirtualBox VM, so it *should* work with pcem

- yourepicfailure: But a real graphics card will itself scale 320x200 to 640x400, it's how it has been done since the CGA.

Yes I know that. Which is why I didn't write: "for some reason, PCEm is actually kicking off 640x400 resolution".
