+Propane13 Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 Hello! Let's say I wanted to draw a 256 x 192 bitmap using the double-wide pixels. What tools do folks currently use for such work? I'm pretty sure things have changed since I did 7800 development, so I was curious what modern solutions people are using. Here's what mode I'm using: lda #%01010000 ; normal color output, turn on DMA, two byte chars, black border sta CTRL ; no Kangaroo output (transparent, not BGColor), mode = 160x2 or 160x4 Thanks!

+Bruce-Robert Pocock Posted March 29 Share Posted March 29 I use Gimp. To do double-wide pixels, you have to jump through a couple of steps. Create the image with the pixel resolution correctly set … Then, pick Image / Print Resolution … and unlink the chain link between the X and Y resolution, and set the X resolution to half the Y … Finally, turn off the setting View / Dot for Dot to see the "print" resolution on the screen, and you have double-wide pixels now. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
