Sheddy's working on a new version of the Rasta Converter that dose away with horizontal artifacts and needed some feedback last night. I threw 8 images at it some that gave me big problem with horizontal artifacts in the past and there gone! But somehow this new version dose a lot more it seems faster so on some of the images instead of using 4 threads I used only 2 and they converted just as fast but better. This new version will produce way better conversions. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sheddy Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 (edited) RastaConverter Beta8 Testing I've been messaging people who might know a bit about the RastaConverter source code to see if some simple hack or work-around could be done to help stop those ugly horizontal line artefacts it does sometimes which only show up when viewed on real Ataris or modern emulators After being pointed to an idea in the right kind of direction and place (thanks @phaeron) I've done a small hack to the Evaluator function which I'm getting some feedback from @ilmenitabout. The idea (which has been suggested by others in the past too) avoids a complete rewrite of some things, and makes RastaConverter give a bad score to scan lines that meet certain fairly simple conditions instead. In the meanwhile I've been trying it out myself with some good results, and as you can see here recently, have let @Atari8man2004 have at it, as he has a powerful rig and lots of pictures on the go, so would likely notice any problems sooner than most. So far so good by the looks of it! Thanks very much for testing. So sharing it with you all here now. @ilmenit has been kind enough to try getting his RastaConverter development environment set up again to check things out properly, which we've both found is unfortunately a pain to get working now on newer environments due to the age of the libraries and things used originally. Although it is only quite small changes, please let me know if you come across any new weirdness with this version, as it is very possible for me to have made mistakes with this, not being too familiar with the codebase or C++ (learning a lot from trying this) Thanks to @drpeter for managing to find an example of a wrongly self overlapped player and of course for highlighting the artefact issues in the first place, what causes them at a deep level and how to try and fix them (building on @phaeron findings in his Altirra Hardware Reference manual, making Altirra more accurate, and prompted at least partly by... what RastaConverter actually shows on a real Atari) Kind Regards Sheddy RastaConverterBeta8.zip sheddy_ding.xex Edited March 24 by Sheddy 3 9 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
