bfollett Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 My first computer was a TI 99/4a, but not long after, I was given an Atari 800XL as a gift, so most of my vintage computer knowledge is on the Atari. Anyway, I was looking over a document on the screen modes of the TI and noticed a 64X48 pixel mode. I'm sure that resolution is too low for most practical purposes, but wondered if there were any demo's floating around that used it. The Atari has a few graphics modes with only 80 horizontal pixels, but still have a full 192 vertical pixels, combine that with the large color palette of the Atari and those graphics modes are actually quite usable. I just wanted to see if anything remotely impressive was ever done with the TI's lowest resolution screen. Thanks, Bob Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+OLD CS1 Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 You should see some of Tursi's work with multi-color mode. You can get quite an amazing picture from the 9918A using some tricks with bitmap and multi-color mode switching. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Gemintronic Posted September 6, 2013 Share Posted September 6, 2013 Has anyone tried flipping between two half-tone images of characters to simulate better resolution? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
