Gunstar Posted June 28, 2022 Share Posted June 28, 2022 (edited) I was hoping the monitor screen would resolve better in this one, but I also don't feel like retrying until it does, I am anxious to move on to other subject matter. So here it is, for better or for worse...The screen basically looks like it should, except for the mis-colored line segments and incomplete circular color curve of the darker green in the top left of the screen.

If you own an 8-bit Atari, you virtually own a "proper" 5200 since most or all of the 5200's games have versions hacked for 8-bit plus all the original and hacked (Arcade/graphic hacks) 8-bit versions of most or all of what's in the 5200's library anyway. With your choice to choose the best/favorite versions whether 5200 hacks, 8-bit originals or 8-bit hacks! Plus all the unique 8-bit carts including XEGS carts! Proper controllers too! Especially with Joy2B+ controllers and hacked games! I had a 5200 15-20 years ago but sold it after I owned it for a year or so and refurbished everything, once I came to this realization/conclusion and had enough of the non self-centering 5200 controllers! EDIT: Too bad the 5200 doesn't have enough ram memory to display versions of Rastaconverter images though...it would be cool running a slide-show of them all from a console in the living room on a 5200 would be both stylish (proper console look instead of a computer) and cool! I guess the new Atari's VCS 800 could do it with Altirra though... Edited July 18, 2022 by Gunstar Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I know (notice my reaction to your post), but I wanted to comment about it anyway. It would be cool to have Rasta images with a slide show on the 5200 though, but there isn't enough ram for even the image, let alone a display program!

Beeblebrox Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) I'm a big Myst and Riven 90's adventure game fan. (Loved MYST on the JaguarCD too). A few images I've been converting over the last few months from each. All 320*200 images using Altirra palette from the MYST and RIVEN adventure game series from the 90s. As usual I used Sheddy's excellent tools to remove HPOS errors and Centre images. 67 unique colours 1.8 bill evals dither used mask used Filename: Beeblebrox_RivenStoneislandsm1_09_FIXED_CENTERED.XEX Screenshot from Altirra with PAL high artifacting enabled Beeblebrox_RivenStoneislandsm1_09_FIXED_CENTERED.xex ************* 63 unique colours 4.4 bill evals dither used Mask used Filename: Beeblebrox_RivenPowerstationsm1_09_FIXED_CEN.XEX Screenshot from Altirra with PAL high artifacting enabled Beeblebrox_RivenPowerstationsm1_09_FIXED_CEN.xex ************ 53 unique colours 2.6 bill evals dither used Mask used Filename: Beeblebrox_Rivensm1_04_FIXED_CENTERED.XEX Screenshot from Altirra with PAL high artifacting enabled Beeblebrox_Rivensm1_04_FIXED_CENTERED.xex ********** 46 unique colours 1.9 bill evals mask used Filename: Beeblebrox_RivenSteeldoorsm1_04_FIXED_CENTERED.XEX Screenshot from Altirra with PAL high artifacting enabled Beeblebrox_RivenSteeldoorsm1_04_FIXED_CENTERED.xex ***************** 76 unique colours 5.8 bill evals dither used Mask used Filename: Beeblebrox_MystGreenhousesm1_17_FIXED_CENTERED.XEX Screenshot from Altirra with PAL high artifacting enabled Beeblebrox_MystGreenhousesm1_17_FIXED_CENTERED.xex **************** 65 unique colours 4.8 bill evals mask used Filename: Beeblebrox_MystRoundtentsm2_15_FIXED_CENTERED.XEX Screenshot from Altirra with PAL high artifacting enabled Beeblebrox_MystRoundtentsm2_15_FIXED_CENTERED.xex ***************** This image conversion stopped earlier than I'd hoped as my laptop crashed, so I may well run it again as there were more colours in the top right and a few other places yet to come in. 53 unique colours 1.1 bill evals dither used Mask used Filename: Beeblebrox_MystRocketsm1_02_FIXED_CENTERED.XEX Screenshot from Altirra with PAL high artifacting enabled Beeblebrox_MystRocketsm1_02_FIXED_CENTERED.xex Attached is a ZIP containing all the XEX and JPG Altirra screenshots as well.

Gunstar Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 (edited) @Beeblebrox I have Myst on Jaguar CD too, and Riven on PS1...big fan too. But something I don't recall at all, and wonder why, are two images I don't recall at all from Myst; Green house and Round Tent pictures. Is it possible I finished Myst yet never saw this portion of the game? Is that even possible? Was the Jag CD a cut-down version of Myst?!? I've only ever played them on the Jag CD and PS1...

Beeblebrox Posted July 18, 2022 Share Posted July 18, 2022 @Gunstar who knows. It's possible I got it confused and it's from Riven or perhaps a sequel. Yup they were great adventure games. I am tempted to get the new VR release and really lose myself in that world again. ? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Beeblebrox_RivenMYST conversions.zip I really liked Myst and Riven too. I never actually played through either of them very far (just casual gameplay); but I always appreciated the achievement, tech, and great production. Nice job on the conversions. I edited the filenames to something a little more digestable and put them all (XEX's only) in a Beeblebrox folder -- if you don't mind.

Beeblebrox Posted July 21, 2022 Share Posted July 21, 2022 (edited) Back in May I posted a few Disenchantment series conversions which I was pretty pleased with the results at the time. This one particular image I'd spent lot time on. Been at it again and tried another 320*240 conversion of it, but this time the source image was horizontally flipped to see the result - given the bias RC has in the calculations on the right side of image conversions. I've tried this before with some images and it has helped. Gunstar also mentioned this image might benefit from flipping. Judge for yourselves but again I think it's turned out nicely, with a good unique colour count of over 100 this time around, (from the original 320*240's attempt of 95 colours) - as well and those vivid colours too. IMHO Bean's face has turned out a little better this time around. Disenchantment Towers 101 unique colours 11.8 Bill evals Altirra palette Mask used Filename: Beeblebrox_DisenchantmentTowersm3_17_FIXED.XEX Sheddy's HPOS tool was used to remove a couple of HPOS errors present. Screenshot taken from Altirra with PAL high Artifacting enabled Beeblebrox_DisenchantmentTowersm3_17_FIXED.xex I am still in the process of doing the same for one of the other images I've also flipped, (Disenchantment LollipopAxe), so will post that in the days to come when I am happy with it.
