Hi, looking back at this topic, I have to specify that in post #33 the pictures show the 7800 graphic with wrong pixel aspect ratio (2.0). The NTSC 7800 pixel aspect ratio is 1.7 for 160 modes, therefore I attach some examples with correct proportions. Marco

To get an idea about "providing my layman input", read: http://atariage.com/forums/topic/211946-what-is-the-best-home-port-of-donkey-kong/?p=2948054 Again, a special thanks to Trebor for his tremendous help with the testing and for the many valuable analysis and suggestions. -
WOO-HOO! Welcome Synthpopalooza and good luck! Fantastic PAC-MAN-RED, as always! Thanks for sharing!

Perry, you're too modest : http://atariage.com/forums/topic/204250-donkey-kong-xm-pre-order-and-demo/?p=2795684 For example, take a look at the Donkey Kong 64 version (official version on powerful hardware) and you will notice several differences compared to the Arcade version. The 7800 XM version is very very close to the Arcade!! -
I love my 5200 too, got it now!

My favorite of the early 80's versions is the Vic-20 version. This is incredible considering the limitations of the VIC-20 hardware. -

Which console is better? Atari or NES?
Defender_2600 replied to Andromeda Stardust's topic in Classic Console Discussion
"In 2009, the Nintendo Entertainment System was named the single greatest video game console in history by IGN, out of a field of 25.[11] " "The Atari 2600 was inducted into the National Toy Hall of Fame at The Strong in Rochester, New York in 2007. In 2009, the Atari 2600 was named the second greatest video game console of all time by IGN, who cited its remarkable role as the console behind both the first video game boom and the video game crash of 1983, and called it "the console that our entire industry is built upon."[36] " Atari VCS is my favorite. -

GPU: A multiple graphics processor setup. One 16-bit HuC6260 Video Color Encoder (VCE), two 16-bit HuC6270A Video Display Controllers (VDCs), and one HuC6202 Video Priority Controller. This is problematic. -
http://atariage.com/...uses/?p=1280025 "The 320C mode can be used to combine a two-color 320-dot background with four-color-plus-transparent shapes using two color sets. The foreground shapes will require double DMA bandwidth; because of some annoying quirks in transparency logic, it's possible to make half of a double-pixel be the background color and have the whole double-pixel be opaque, but making the whole double-pixel the background color will make it transparent. The 320B mode is reasonably nice when using Kangaroo mode, but works very poorly in non-Kangaroo mode."

I agree. Here is a little example:

I try to guess, emulated via MESS. Trebor is a true specialist with the emulation.

Too much fear! :skull: :-D

Tandy -> 7800 320 Mode

I love R-Type. Thinking about 7800 XM, the recent conversion for Amstrad CPC is impressive.

Maybe this wikipedia page should be updated. I wonder if the talented PacManPlus still considers that it is significantly harder to develop a title such as Bentley Bear Crystal Quest.

Will be a pleasure and a privilege! :)
