Question: On the actual version, does Sonic still lack a shadow in the Blue Sphere stages?

Satoryu · **Reply #176 on:** March 16, 2010, 10:38:19 PM

I don't recall. I'd guess so, though.

Mirby · **Reply #177 on:** March 16, 2010, 10:44:29 PM

Well that's stupid.

I didn't think Sonic fans would ever complain...

*puts on shades*

...about new Sonic lacking a Shadow.

Genesis should be about 256x224. Why did you post that 2x screenshot.

Psycho Yuffie · **Reply #185 on:** March 17, 2010, 05:45:09 PM

So that Sonic Classic Collection would look smaller than it actually is, of course.

Mirby · **Reply #186 on:** March 17, 2010, 09:56:11 PM

That was the size of the screenie I got from Gens...

I use emulators a lot... V_V

But not enough to know that at 512x448 screenshot of a Genesis game is enlarged...

Oh god, that scaling. You honestly thought that was what the game looks like by default?

Wikipedia
The Mega Drive has a dedicated VDP (Video Display Processor) for background graphic and sprite control. This is an improved version of the Sega Master System VDP, which in turn is derived from the Texas Instruments TMS9918. Images can be output at 256 pixels (32 tiles) or 320 pixels (40 tiles) across and 224 scanlines (28 tiles) or 240 scanlines (30 tiles) down. The 240-line resolutions are only used on 50 Hz (i.e. PAL) displays, as the extra lines end up in the overscan of a 60 Hz (NTSC) signal.

NTSC games use the 224-line resolution to free up more vertical blanking time to send more updates to the VDP. Colors are chosen from a total of 512 possible colors, 3 bits per RGB; some games used a small amount of flicker to simulate more colors. Graphics consist of up to 80 sprites on screen and three background planes (Window, ScrollA, ScrollB), two of which (ScrollA and Window) share the same screen space. Palettes are stored in color RAM (CRAM) and consist of 16 colors each for a total of 64 colors.[69][72]

Original

2X

Learn the difference. It could save your life some day.

Satoryu · **Reply #190 on:** March 18, 2010, 06:02:07 PM

To translate Aldo's post for the uninitiated, Mirby's screencap has the proper ratio despite being twice as large as normal. Which I think is the argument trying to be made; the ratio is changed on DS. Though admittedly if you do want to compare the screens, having them at different sizes is not the way to get your point across. Either shrink the Genesis picture, or blow up the DS picture, and cut out the bottom screen cause that doesn't help any.

xnamkcor and Lightning are correct in that respect. Their attitude isn't correct, though. You guys are being jerks.

Mirby · **Reply #191 on:** March 18, 2010, 08:29:37 PM

Lessee... The 2x resolution was apparently because I took in in Fullscreen mode... just did it in windowed, and native! Tweaked the color settings on No$GBA, and they're more faithful to the original than I thought. But still no shadow. Aldo, you are not David Caruso. Stop. Or are you... >_>

Better?

I wasn't being a jerk, I was being a smart ass. There's a difference!

Mirby · **Reply #193 on:** March 18, 2010, 08:52:46 PM

And there's nothing wrong with that. Ich bin ein Schlauberger!

Think that's spelled right...

xnamkcor · **Reply #194 on:** March 18, 2010, 11:11:11 PM

I'm sorry I was a jerk because he compared versions with different sized images.

PS: How's the framerate?

Mirby · **Reply #195 on:** March 18, 2010, 11:18:13 PM

Well I took native this time, okay?

Also, it's normal. For the most part. But it's emulation, so its to be expected I suppose.

Does this image contain one of those background overlays I hear about that only exist in every second column of pixels so that on a real TV screen, adjacent columns blend together and produce a transparency effect?

Kieran · **Reply #197 on:** March 19, 2010, 01:16:16 AM

I think so. I remember the waterfalls in Aquatic Ruin Zone being transparent.

You don't know who anyone really is on the Internet.

Unless you're PB and have a scrapbook of video-game and sci-fi related awesome all set in areas of NY.

Not good. It's at the most half of what it was on the Genesis. And it lags pretty frequently.
