It would have been perfect if it had resolved the sky fully in the top left corner, but the rest turned out so well I didn't feel like attempting it again. Maybe you can talk Dropcheck into bringing back the PAL GTIA board, that's what I have in my 1200XL along with PAL Antic and GTIA. Though I got a PAL CPU board for my 800 and with the Incognito I'm going PAL with it. I'm going to be reverting my 1200XL to NTSC. But the PAL board and chips are going into a 1200XL that I'm giving a British friend of mine, or I'd sell them to you.

ivop Posted May 25, 2020 Share Posted May 25, 2020 (edited) I suppose with the new Spophia2 you can just load a PAL palette while running on an NTSC machine. It's still 114 cycles per scanline. Even Rastaconversions should work. Edit: but not 50Hz PAL demos.... Edited May 25, 2020 by ivop Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivop Posted May 26, 2020 Share Posted May 26, 2020 Here's one I tried years ago, but failed. My "new" method resulted in this: Prince - Purple Rain 35 colors I struggled with the exact cut-out of the film poster/album cover. Might do a close-up of his face later, but this time I wanted Apollonia Kotero to be in the background and enough motorcycle within the frame to support the "story" the image portrays. ivop_purple-rain.xex 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rybags Posted May 27, 2020 Share Posted May 27, 2020 I think so. It looks like that home made paper/parchment you see with the rough texture which shows through unless you use hard or multiple strokes of the pencil or crayon. Works well for the created picture and I was surprised it turned out as good on the Atari. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ivop Posted May 29, 2020 Share Posted May 29, 2020 (edited) Here's another uplifting conversion Andy Prieboy - Tomorrow Wendy 65 colors Thanks to @Stephen who got me hooked on Concrete Blonde. This is more obscure. It's the original of CB's Tomorrow Wendy, but Johnette Napolitano also sang backing vocals on this. Rule zero of Rastaconversions is: never be afraid to start over completely. Rule one of Rastaconversions is: get proper source material! That last one was difficult, as there were only four scans on google image search of mediocre quality. The longer you look at this conversion, the more line artifacts you'll find. Don't look too long No line errors/bugs though. The song is about a real girl named Wendy. She contracted HIV/AIDS in the late eighties. Instead of seeing her body degenerate and die, she chose to end her life by her own means. Underneath the chilly gray November sky We can make believe that Kennedy is still alive, and We're shooting for the moon and smiling Jackie's drivin' by They say, good try Tomorrow Wendy is going to die Tomorrow Wendy is going to die Only God says jump... ivop_tomorrow-wendy.xex Edited May 29, 2020 by ivop 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When my dad graduated paramedic school (at 42 years old), he & his partner would JAM to Type O Negative when transporting patients Well, I just spent the last half hour trying to MIG weld stainless and not having good luck. Dad died 2.5 years ago so I can't ask him what I am doing wrong. Sat outside in my shop and cried for a while (feeling sorry for myself). This put a smile on my face (as I sit here smelling my burned arm from the failed welds). Trying to hide the tears from the wife. Funny how these "coincidences" work. 4 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was surprised that she didn't dominate the image search though it's probably 20 years past her peak. I recently was going through a bunch of old 80s music, and she was on the list of 'Not much talent, but a fine looking woman'. But yeah I still remember either on the ST or Atari 8bit a black and white pixelized version of her for sure. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
