Hi Francois, that's great. I am glad to read that you did it before. The method of mixing colors or increasing resolution (interlace) is known really long time. Even mixing hi-res with lo-res is not from my head. C64 and CPC demos are using it very often. >I produced a demo disk >including about 5 colorful images.

I know about this game. Split screen is something else to mixing colors. On text adventure, the screen is usually split to half - graphics on the top is low-res and text in the bottom is high-res. That's easy. Dithvide mixed mode works following: 1st interrupt: line 1: Lo res, screen 1 line 2: Hi res, screen 2 line 3: Lo res, screen 1 line 4: Hi res, screen 2 ... etc. up to line 256 2nd interrupt: line 1: Hi res, screen 2 line 2: Lo res, screen 1 line 3: Hi res, screen 2 line 4: Lo res, screen 1 ... etc. up to line 256 The goal is different. Every line is using different screen and different screen mode in order to have pixel color given by average value of the pixels from screen1 and screen2. Display looks stable using this interleaved routine. On the other hand, it makes this mode less useful for games, because it's CPU intensive due to timing of every line. To Rich, I see no problem to use hi-color in games, it only requires to "resign" from QDOS friendly application style programming and use the machine as "hardware" to run your "software". It's the same as ZX Spectrum game developers do with ZX Spectrum. Games like Frozzen Bubble, Prince of Persia, Lemmings would "go" on QL. I am sure.

Yes you are right, you need to decrease contrast on the monitor to make the display more stable. Some monitors are very fast and this effect is better on slower monitors. I also tested ZX on dataprojector and similar effect was completely stable. The electronic averaged the screen without flickering. > I don't think the software can run on an emulator > (no mc.stat register and probably timing issues too).

Mixed mode needs to be finetuned by two delay constants for GC, SGC - it's not really too complicated. I would appreciate if someone would find the right numbers for his hardware. In fact, initialization sequence with speed detection would be the best. I wonder if this was done before? Jan ___ QL-Users Mailing List http://www.q-v-d.demon.co.uk/smsqe.htm
