Is it possible to disable texture filtering?

[MrG1203]

Hello,

I was wondering if there is any way at all to disable texture filtering (antialiasing?) on ATI and NVIDIA video cards? I have a Radeon 9800 PRO on one computer and a GeForce 6800GT on another. I really HATE blurry textures, even if it's only a little bit. I much prefer sharp, pixelated textures. Here is an example of what I'm talking about:

Blurry Textures
Pixelated Textures

The game is Vagrant Story running on a Playstation emulator (ePSXe) that a plugin to display video, output sound, etc. The display plugins (Pete's D3D, OpenGL drivers) that I'm using lets me choose whether or not I want to enable texture filtering. Obviously, I choose to disable it. I want all my games to look that way (Warcraft 3, Far Cry, etc).

By the way, the screenshots above were taken using the D3D driver on my Radeon computer.

So, is it possible? I'll be grateful for any and all responses!

Wow, that will look like crap.

You can probably disable it by default in the advanced driver properties pages (where you set options like AA and AF), but I'm not sure if you can force it to always be off (so if a game asks for bilinear or trilinear filtering, it will still get it). There might be a registry hack to do so, but WHY?

Looks more like high vs medium detail textures to me.

why not just use AF? That will make your textures both sharp and nonpixelated.
