I was diagnosed with bad eyesight to late. Oh.. Worse. I did not have time to take care about my eyes. So... I am so surprised, that I'm alive. Living so many years not aware my eyesight is not ok... Let me joke about myself... I wonder if I'm using echolocation... :D I have swollen retinas in both eyes, even with all my health problems it was nothing short of a miracle that I was able to accomplish so much in life. I had three career changes. It was a long - long journey Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have excellent hearing in total silence, when the person I am listening to has a good voice no speaking problems... But I'm almost sure that in a noisy places I depend partially on lip reading... I was talking to some person in different circumstances. - in a noise - audio Internet call in almost total silence... In the noisy neighborhood I did not notice several speech disorders that person has. But when I talked on an internet audio call I noticed that that person has several severe speech disorders... Severe ones! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You may want to try using a mask around the sunflower to bring out the iner details but on a light backround it will produce lots of horizontal line. Beeblebrox may have the answer you need.

Or Hungarian? The "sz" sound is popular in Hungarian and Polish. But I would guess he is Polish, because Poles... They do a lot for Atari... My nickname is inspired by an Atari 800/400 game Gravity Worms, made by, as far I remember a Polish programmer... So sad he made only few levels. I like logical-puzzle games so much... I hope he will make more levels... It's of two my favorite logic-puzzle computer games and four any genre computer games...

GravityWorm Posted February 15 Share Posted February 15 I did look In the Internet who he is.... I know him! He made that difficult Atari 800/400 game, Laura LOL I got so stuck. Over my league. So difficult! And I really have some patience. I finished Dune 2 (DOSBOX) with no single soldier dead! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's why I posted the original full size original. That was my 1st and only attempt at a conversion, I didn't touch the original in any way. I honestly thought there was no way it would resolve anything, but I thought it looked nice enough to post. I still never know what will work or not, but I guess that's half the fun! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I use emulator A800, there is no Altirra for OS on my device... I have problem with making my Atari 800/400 emulator work on NTSC mode... I need Atari emulator to check my Rasta images...

You can tell RastaConverter which palette it should use for color matching with its /pal=Palette File command line option. I find the default atari800 palette a bit bland. You can also change its palette by setting COLOURS_PAL_EXTERNAL_PALETTE=/absolute/path/to/laoo.act in atari800.cfg.

Like the dithering algorythm used here. If anything I reckon it would benefit from more dithering around the face.
