CRT look and feel on a LCD
Blanka:
Atari 2600 had a resolution of 160x82 pixels. Each line was drawn 4 times on alternate interlace fields and 160 pixels on a "640 pixel wide NTSC image" (it was an analog signal, so no real "horizontal resolution on the TV itself), meant that each pixel of the 2600 was 4x4 "pixels" on the TV. That was blocky all the way, and this "true image" emulation of Atari 2600 sure is nonsense.

Like you haven't tried to TM the whole internet already! ;D
And the 2600 sucked ass then and still does. Intellivision is and was the best. Suck it Atari! >:D

Actually contrary to what you have said I am comparing VERTICAL REFRESH RATE.
Hence your example 60HZ VERTICAL REFRESH RATE also being an even divisor.
I admitted the LIGHT BEAM instead of Particle how many times are you going to beat that dead horse? It was a frickin' typo.
Now if you are going to avoid it, how about breaking it down. Were you or were you not growing up during the Atari 2600 days? Did you have one as they came out, or were you a johnny come lately that thinks he knows?
As for my 15 KILOHZ error, then I was correct the first time. Why did you not point out how I had the KILO part right? The point was not to make fun of me because there was no such thing as a 15hz display...or at least if there is, then it is rare(I don't know this), but to actually understand my point. 60hz is an even devisor hence it being a qualifier for this subject. Wow, way to make my case even better. REFRESH...RESCAN...it doesn't matter. Both of them are the same thing. The screen is being redrawn 60 times or 120. If there was a 15hz display then it would be 15 times! Again, you were so busy saying ha ha ha and trying to skate around and saying...he thinks that 15hz is the way its drawn..but in fact I wasn't wrong about the REFRESH rate, I was just wrong about there being that display or the one that 15 KILO hz was referring to. That is being a punk. That is not clever.

SO WHAT. That doesn't mean I don't get a concept. I have always been quoting what I thought to be vertical refresh rate. You were just acting like too much of a tool to acknowledge my point because of the non dotted "I's"
Now can you at least aknowledge my point now? I know what I saw, and I know the hardware that I used. Instead of being as you usually are, how about adressing my factual information.

WORD! As I suspect alot of this is. Not ALL, but alot of the arcade coders myth. They encoded it CHEAP, FAST, and EFFICIENT. They did not program for future displays nor did they MOST of the time program for bleed or flicker or any other such nonsense.
Frogger is exactly how it should be and it loses NOTHING on a properly scaled LCD. Matter of fact on the right LCD, it actually improves because of the clearer picture with no reflection. End of story.
genesim:
The real question is whether the real Koolaid man will finally admit that alot of this is indeed a LIE.
Hoofprints think horses not zebras. If it is wrong for Atari then it is wrong for many arcade games that came out around that time.
Later of course things change, and for a scant few where displays were unique, of course there could be SOME programming...but some of this is complete bull and I don't believe it for a second.
Texture always gives a 3D look. Scanlines provided this. But some of this looking for the Davinci Code is just plain nutty.

I think all of us agree that we're still waiting for some ...
