For me, it's a skill I am gaining in pre-processing the images. Even though I've been using this since day one, I just yesterday discovered running one solution can get me a "close enough" image in seconds (a minute maximum) rather than an hour minimum. I will now do this as a first step, and then fine tune any problem issues in the image. Once I am satisfied with that, I run my normal # of high solutions (8192) and most images will run for a minimum of 1 billion iterations. I am also no longer opposed to using some rather strong dithering settings, whereas in the past I either used the default strength of 1, or none. Example - the picture of Christina. It started with an all white background. I changed it to black, dropped the main image to 32 colours before starting it, fussed with dithering and gamma settings 5 different times, and then finally let the image run.

36 colours, Christina Applegate - poor lady has been through a lot recently. First breast cancer and then MS Stephen_ChristinaApplegate.xex

I think this is one of my best ever. I can't wait to go view it on the 20" PVM. 53 Colours Stephen_BlueButterfly.xex

Keep shilling everything as you do. There's zero connection to anything about the old game. It's a cash grab, but I get it. Business gotta business. Maybe this will make your $0.12 stocks go up to $0.13 or something.

Absolutely nothing to do with Yars in any way. But keep slapping them old names on to suck those retro dollars up!

MORTAL KOMBAT Atari Jaguar Pre-Alpha AVAILABLE NOW!
Stephen replied to walter_J64bit's topic in Atari Jaguar
Except for certain goofballs that are wrong in every statement they make saying it doesn't use or show the Jag's full power Fumes and all. -

Both Warlords & Food Fight Are Returning To Coin-op This Year
Stephen replied to Shaggy the Atarian's topic in Atari General
The real question is, does it have a SynthWave soundtrack? -
We have a buildable source, so I'd be willing to make any updates required. I've so far ran into 2 issues. As you noticed, have to rename the generator due to 64 in the filename. Also, when I ran it, it was not outputting files to a Generator folder, but in the root where the exe was ran.

@ilmenit - tiny request. Would it be easy to make the command line parameters be visible in the title bar like with previous versions? I've got in the habit of just snapping an image of my progress window and it lets everyone see what options I used during the conversion. 1st attempt with beta9 - great results! Bald Eagle, 71 colours. Settings were jarvis, strength 3, randomness 0.8, 8192 solutions, gamma 0.7 Stephen_BaldEagle.xex

Thanks!!! Can't wait to check this out. Been using this since day one, and I continue to churn out better images, especially with my new 850 watt space heater

Sorry if this has already been discussed, but are you sure you have an adequately shielded monitor cable?

Brandi Rhodes - 49 colours. I was not seeing any visible changes at this point - I rarely ever go above 2 billion iterations. My CPU did manage to hit 78C towards the end of the conversion. The water cooler is doing its job still, as 2 minutes after shutting the conversion down, it had dropped to 55C, and a minute after that it's down to 51C. Stephen_BrandiRhodes.xex
