Beeblebrox Posted December 8, 2022 Share Posted December 8, 2022 Thanks for the video snippet. Looking promising. Very smooth and fluid movement which is what I personally like in a platformer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mclaneinc Posted December 13, 2022 Share Posted December 13, 2022 Pass, just looks a bit odd, also, there are no borders.. But then again, I'm not a programmer, so what do I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If you look, it's not stretched, squares are still squares. Could be that it's hires mode and you can get more detail in, just never seen a screen that looks so wide but in proportion?

Sure, me neither. Perhaps then it's running off Sophia 2 or through an upscaler? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+MrFish Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 I just checked both PAL and NTSC videos. They're using 320 x 193 pixel screens. Nothing weird going on here. The only difference is that the NTSC version has a totally black border, whereas the PAL has a slightly grayish border; so, it's easier to detect the size of the rest of the screen (336 x 240) on the PAL version. If you want to be technical about it, a developer could use any dimensions they wanted to, vertically or horizontally. So, any ratio is possible. The standard 320 x 192 isn't 16:9; it would have to be 320 x 180 to be 16:9 ratio. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mclaneinc Posted December 14, 2022 Share Posted December 14, 2022 Fair enough, as said, I'm a guy who hacked games, not a programmer. It just looked too wide to me, and as unlike the C64, we can't use the boarders (so I was told), it just looked weird. At the end of the day it's good that it is looking so well, a bit of colour on the screen would be nice but looking dead smart so far.

It is just the other way round. Our ATARIs have overscan as a feature on board. On C64 you have to use a lot of tricks to open borders (and then there is only very little cpu time left).

That would be true if the pixels were square, but they’re not. I think NTSC pixels are taller than they are wide (on the Atari), while PAL pixels are closer to, but not exactly, square. So on NTSC at least you’d need fewer than 180 lines to get a 16:9 display. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was talking about the videos. There's no correction for pixel aspect ratio in either of them. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quite a bit fewer, if you're talking about real hardware or an emulator that displays the proper aspect ratio. It looks like 154 pixels would be needed in that case, for NTSC. PAL is close enough to square that the above would hold true on real hardware. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
