Interlaced ZX Spectrum graphic on LCD TV ( vertical hi-res 256x384 )
Hey chaps, just a quick note to say I'm not sure RetroX is actually interlacing correctly. Test with an image 256x384 and see what happens with padding.
I *think* it's not interleaving. Does anybody have proof it is?
In comparison, if you switch interlace on and off in Image to ZX Spec (256x192 then 256x384 interlaced in drop down), and press the "… Plusplay" button on the main screen, you can quite clearly see a vertical pixel shift.
Basically, in attempting to match the gold standard in detail (RetroX), I *think* I've been chasing something that doesn't actually work but users can't tell the difference... (and which is why the dithering is still correct on Retro X but genuinely interleaved/line skipped in Image to ZX Spec).
Good evening everyone, just I crossed over this tittle and my curiosity woke up, and catches my eyes, what a wonderful bunch of pictures, are all of them from a Spectrum? what is it? trying to figure it out and get more information. Is it a gadget? Is a coding technique? How to get it? I am shocked out!
Thank you

Does anybody have an algorithm to support 256x384 (256x192 interlace)? I.e. should I be resizing the original image to 256x384, then on the first SCR take the even rows, on the second the odd?
If so how do you compute Gigascreen colour values given that there is different pixel data on both screens (i.e. row 1 on screen 1 shows a different part of… Plus the image to row 1 on screen 2)?
The colours would be completely wrong using data from both screens, e.g. on the original 256x384 image row1 would be pink, and the next pixel down could be dark grey, confusing these to would end up with an interlaced blended red-brown gigascreen pixel, not a pink gigascreen pixel followed by a grey one.

A little app for your pleasure.
In pictures, it converts pixel grid into solid color for gigascreen.
For displaying, it… Plus uses 25Hz switching of two videorams so you can use it on real (CRT) 50Hz monitors, but (of course) the best result you can get with gigascreen mode on MB03+.
