NTSC system owner required for testing

[khryssun]

It seems my last post about NTSC / PAL /SECAM video hardware compatibility was lost...

 

Is there a person with a NTSC VCS 2600 and a NTSC SPACE INVADERS Cartridge rather kind to help me ?

 

For emulation support, I need the following information :

 

How many colors are used by the VCS (a real one, not emulators) to display each score player ?

1, 2 or more ?

 

//for info :

//PAL systems display each score player using 1 color

//SECAM system use 2 colors.

 

Thanks

I plugged in Space Invaders real quick, and the player 1 score is a dark green, and the player 2 score is a lighter green. All the numbers are the same color in each score, but the numbers are not solid. They are made up of closely spaced horizontal lines. Hope this helps!

YES ! This helps a lot !!!

 

Thank you very much a for this complete description. I think, that's the cause of the color alteration with SECAM systems.

 

Anyone noticed the same "not solid" effect in other games ?

 

Thanks again
