Gatherer of Data Posted January 21, 2021 Share Posted January 21, 2021 (edited) I'm feeding my SDTV custom resolutions through a VGA - SCART setup for emulation. Looking at the dot clock rates listed over at https://pineight.com/mw/?title=Dot_clock_rates I was surprised to learn the CoCo is supposed to have a NTSC PAR similar to the Amiga. That would mean the screen is supposed to be rather tall because of the smaller resolution. On PAL, the screen is so small I have a hard time believing that's somewhat realistic if I'm using my PAL Amiga modeline for the CoCo/Dragon. The ZX Spectrum has the same 256x192 res, but the different pixel aspect makes everything a bit wider so it's not that bad. The videos I've seen from real hardware seem to be using adjustable monitors, was this the norm and normal that a TV picture was so small, or do PAL CoCos/Dragons also have wider pixels?
