Modder applies DLSS 5 to MS-DOS Pac-Man in glitchy experiment
Russian YouTube channel Valery Kryzhanovsky has shown an experiment applying DLSS 5 to the MS-DOS version of Pac-Man.
DLSS 5 is an upscaling technology intended for modern 3D games.
Pac-Man’s MS-DOS version is not a 3D game, and it was not designed to use the technology.
The video tests four rendering modes using a technique called 4x Multipass.
Some modes produce glitches, including removing the eyes of Inky, the green ghost, and the dots.
The experiment is part of a trend of trying the leaked Nvidia technology on games it was not designed for.
The video does not say what will happen next.
