    Hi guys, thanks for the new Stella release!

     

    The first thing I tried is the new Emulation menu, however when I change the emulation speed (or tick the Turbo checkbox) and then click "OK", Stella shrinks to a small window and freezes up (see screenshot below). It does this for every game, and even when I don't change any settings, but just click the "OK" button in the Emulation window.

    Note that I'm using the Windows 64-bit version.

    I can confirm that

    if i hit enter, i get for a second this text on the close button position.

    "...able to show the dialog box; FIX THE CO......"

    maybe it helps you

    This is for internal purposes in our project for possible later use. I can stretch the image when it is shown on the website so that it is displayed correctly as it looks on a CRT, but I want to keep the original aspect ratio of the images from the 1x zoom mode (plus 300%).

     

    haha, that's taking on dimensions ...... thanks for your patience

    If you disable interpolation and TV filters and use a reasonably high zoom factor (e.g 300% or more), you can obtain screenshots which are very close in look to the pixel-perfect ones (no blurred edges), but scaled up and with correct aspect ratio (so, same size for NTSC and PAL):

     

    Thank you for your help. :thumbsup: It's not exactly the result I'm aiming for, but it's another option.

    I would prefer if the outer dimensions of the result were different, i.e. the original size exactly 300% larger.
    Maybe I just use an older version of Stella.
    I will check it.

    sure,

    if it were only one pic, or ten, or a hundred pictures, then yes. I just want to save myself the extra effort on my work if it is possible otherwise.
    Actally i explore what options i have with Stella before i start making screenshots.

     

    I am still in the decision phase

    The latter. :) 

     

    The 1x screenshot does no scaling whatsoever. So you get pixel perfect results. But they do not have the correct aspect ratio. 

    The normal screenshots save whatever you see on your display. And there the images are scaled vertically for correct aspect ratio.

    Ok, so then back to my first question. Is it possible to disable change this somewhere? i need a 300% zoomed perfect pixel result from the not scaled 1x mode pic and no vertically scaled pic.

    ;)

    The pics are not stretched. A CRT picture has always the same size no matter if it is PAL or NTSC. Previously Stella did that wrong.

    Thanks for your reply. Yes you are right on the crt picture, but.....

     

    ... i try to put my question differently.

    If i make with Stella 6.2 a snapshot with "ignore scaling (1x mode)"

    from the Rom Pac-Man 1981 Atari NTSC the result is a screenshot with 320x228

    from the Rom Pac-Man 1981 Atari PAL the result is a screenshot with 320x274

    well so far.

    but if i make a screenshot with default zoom mode = 300%

    the screenshot from NTSC is 960x720 and

    the screenshot from PAL is 960x720 too

     

    where is the misthake in the zoom result, or in the 1x mode, or in my point of view?

    Hi Stella Team,

    i have a question about a function since (Stella release 6.1)

    • Major improvements to display mode handling in NTSC vs. PAL. The window is now the same size for both modes, and scaling is applied to simulate the height of scanlines (in PAL mode, there are more scanlines and hence each is narrower). This more properly emulates how the display would look on a real TV.

     

    Is it possible to disable this function somewhere? Or maybe I do not know where to switch.

    If i make screenshots with option "Ignore scaling (1x mode)" i get image in original size. But when  i choose the default settings with Zoom 300% i get a image with 960x720 every time, regardless of whether it is PAL or NTSC. I want no stretched pic.

     

    Anyway, you're doing a really great job. :thumbsup:
    Thanks for that.

    Hi Jason,

     

    nice find. Thanks for showing the cart in action. :thumbsup: This company is indeed not easy to find.

     

    i have seen this somewhere before, but i can't remember, if my 2in1 carts from this company have these lights too. i will dig them out this week. These were from the first batch of scanned modules in 2014 that we had uploaded to the database.  At that time we had not yet scanned the top label.

     

    lol, I have to dust off the box and have a look.
