Not only that. The scanline shot isn't correct, look at Ironclaws for a proper one.

Behold, my new windows look...
Double scanlines!
Double the blackness!!
Double the nothingness!!!

Retro-Nerd · 28 March 2007, 20:05

You play your amiga games which such big square pixels? Now i understand why people uses plasma TVs for it.

Shoonay · 28 March 2007, 20:08

Sim Birds? I guess it needs a HOL entry, Dizzy.

Coagulus · 28 March 2007, 20:41

Well, I use both, whichever I think looks better at the time!

Freakyweakywoo · 28 March 2007, 20:59

Why have blocky, square pixels that look like something on an old PC and not a real Amiga???

I sort of agree with you about "black" though, this is why:

MAME32; has 25%, 50% scanlines.
Gens32; has brightness/intesity slider.

Also, if you look at real arcade monitors you can see what looks like faint transparent scanlines (which look wicked and help define the graphics). I guess this is why MAME implemented scanlines, to try and get that same feel (doesn't work as well though obviously)...

Alright, You asked for it

This is my plasma tv, in my multiplayer room, where i play DynaBlaster with my - much older - friends. Currently browsing the web for cheats:

Here's a clouse-up - just look at the nice square pixels, and notice: NO SCANLINES

:

As a bonus, here's my new mobile/handheld tv! Multiplayer mayhem while traveling:

(Don't mind the Tyskie beer commercial in the bkg

)

That has to be the largest image anyone has ever posted on EAB

Shoonay · 28 March 2007, 21:22

Nah. Would've post a bigger one but PaintShopPro9 gives me only 32767x32767 :]

Freakyweakywoo · 28 March 2007, 21:38

Will anyone ever top 32767x32767?? Just think with scanlines there would only have been 16383.5 lines of visible infomation. The rest would have been black, awesome

Am I the only one who owned an M1438s Multisync-Monitor ? Damn, I hated this piece of crap. Produced 100%-scanlines as in the picture posted by Iconclaw. And that on a real miggy. F****ng piece of crap. That's when I learned that I prefer clearer pixels over scanlines

.
MAME has a few nice filters for simulating a TV. But nothing beats the real thing (or an arcade monitor

).
