oky2000 Posted March 29, 2021 Share Posted March 29, 2021 I remember there was a mono emulator on a coverdisk that used an interlace method, wouldn't mind trying that again on a real CRT TV over SCART RGB or an SC1224 I have. The Amiga hi-res has to use interlace of course like every machine with 15khz output but the ST 70hz non interlaced SM124 was pretty easy on the eyes :) The GEM desktop was designed for mono resolution, the icons are too stretched in medium and too large in lo-res but on a hi-res screen it looks better than Windows and just as good as the original Mac OS/Lisa OS. Add a software blitter to your boot disk and anything running in mono on the ST was a really nice snappy and reliable professional environment to work in for stuff like medium level DTP and Wordprocessing.

ParanoidLittleMan Posted March 29, 2021 Author Share Posted March 29, 2021 I tried interlace method mono emulator with TV with RGB input then, when was actual. The problem appears when there is vertically black by white pixel. Especially bad when one horizontal line is black and upper and lower ones are white. Then it will flicker, and even looks like it jumps fast up-down if picture is really interlaced (happens on some TVs). It is OK when 2 adjacent hor. lines are same color. But that looks good with 200 lines (normal medium res) too, so really not good for blue prints, schematics and like. Interlaced mode is for normal grey scale or color video.
