    How to present MS-DOS screenshots

    MS-DOS games with a 320x200 screen resolution need vertical scaling to fit modern displays with square pixels. To achieve correct proportions, resize images to 320x240 or 640x480. Use nearest neighbor scaling followed by a smooth filter for better results. For video upscaling, employ ffmpeg with specific filter chaining. Adjusting pixel aspect ratios is also crucial for accurate display.
