Run Windows 3.1 in True-Colour Full HD: GitHub – PluMGMK/vbesvga.drv: Modern Generic SVGA driver for Windows 3.1

Posted by jpluimers on 2025/04/09

This is soooo cool: [Wayback/Archive] GitHub – PluMGMK/vbesvga.drv: Modern Generic SVGA driver for Windows 3.1

Modern Generic SVGA driver for Windows 3.1
This is a rewrite of the Windows 3.1 SVGA driver, designed to support ALL available 8-bit, 16-bit, 24-bit or 32-bit graphic modes on any system providing the VESA BIOS Extensions (hence the VBE in the name). It is based on the Video 7 SVGA driver included in the Win16 Driver Development Kit, with most of the hardware-specific code gutted out, and with support added for multi-byte pixels.

It reminds me of other endevours to keep retro-software easy to use:

These last two links are by [Wayback/Archive] oerg866 / clarry (@oerg866) / X.

More Calmira links (it’s written in Delphi 1, as that was the first and last 16-bit Delphi version):

Via [Wayback/Archive] RetroTech Chris on X: “Woah! Yea, I am going to have to check this out!”.
