not to be anal , but wouldnt it be a CRT simulation? there's people like chad and jim in the world that'll ---smurfette--- and moan if you say emulation and mean simulation :p |
| GaryMcT:
I'm trying to emulate the look of a CRT. I'm not sure where this super-anal differentation between emulation and simulation came from. Here's what the Computer Dictionary has to say. . seems unclear to me: emulation architecture When one system performs in exactly the same way as another, though perhaps not at the same speed. A typical example would be emulation of one computer by (a program running on) another. You might use an emulation as a replacement for a system whereas you would use a simulation if you just wanted to analyse it and make predictions about it. simulation simulation, system Attempting to predict aspects of the behaviour of some system by creating an approximate (mathematical) model of it. This can be done by physical modelling, by writing a special-purpose computer program or using a more general simulation package, probably still aimed at a particular kind of simulation (e.g. structural engineering, fluid flow). Typical examples are aircraft flight simlators or electronic circuit simulators. A great many simulation languages exist, e.g. |

I'll just say Im fine with what you call it, but when chad or jim or some others see it, they'll be...well, themselves, lol I look forward to it, I dont really like the look of MAME on a LCD so this will give me one less reason to get a hernia keeping it "authentic" |

Of course we will get bitching, as people have for a few years, there is no reason a decent CRT "simulator" for MAME couldn't have been done ages ago but people find some reason to ---steaming pile of meadow muffin--- on a project before it even gets off the ground, almost as if no one has the "right" to make gaming experience on an LCD better, look at how much crap those developers behind the Intellevision CRT project got, and what for, for trying to do something cool? And don't play the card that you are not a true enthusiast if you are not out there hoarding every last 19'' CRT left, some of us also MAME on laptops or our PC besides owning a setup, what is wrong with wanting to somewhat mimic the experience on these as well? |
| GaryMcT:
I'm a CRT hoarder myself, and one of mine died recently. This is why I want this to work on an LCD. :) On a related note, I'd also like to implement a decent vector simulation (<---- see, I'm using the right word now! :) ), but it might not work so well quite yet since most modern displays aren't as high-contrast as a vector display. I have real vector monitors at home to user as reference. I don't have color vector monitors at home, but I do have an Asteroids Deluxe and an Omega Race. The color ones actually look quite different with the shadow mask. I may have to pick up a color vector machine for comparison. |
