Hi,

Last weekend Silly Venture, the largest Atari Party in Eastern Europe took place. You can find the complete results here. This time, Michal (Grey^MSB) organized the first Atari VCS only demo competition and indeed he got 4 entries, all of which were high quality releases. Three of them are now available for download.

Confusion with aspect ratios

Mon Nov 7, 2011 11:47 AM

Hi there,

assuming I have a PC Image with 640x320 perfectly square pixels. What would be the A8 pixel height/width to make it look identical on a real TV set? I know PAL pixels are not square and I found too many different definitions, so maybe someone here can help.

Screen is rolling on real TV - 312 scanlines - Why?

Hi there,
I have a large project which is almost finished now, dead line is next week, so I started testing on real hardware using my Harmony cart. On my first (very old) TV set, everything is fine. On my (old) TV set, the screen loses sync at the beginning. Stella shows 50 Hz/312 Scanlines/PAL and I have no clue, what could be wrong. The later parts all work fine.

I have attached version which simply loops the intro. So maybe somebody can test it on his real PAL machine, too or maybe even find out what "magic thing" goes wrong here.

Upload profile photo constantly fails

Hi,

I tried to update my profile photo but I always get the attached error message. I tried all different sizes (2000x2000 down to 200x200) and formats (jpg, png, ..)without success. Strange enough it allows me to use this.

Best regards, Peter.

Is there an NTSC Version of Ballblazer

Wed Sep 7, 2011 12:50 PM

I'm searching for an NTSC tune, and Ballblazer would be nice. But is there an NTSC version of Ballblazer? Or is the one I always thought it was for PAL actually for NTSC. That would mean I played at slow speed with wrong tune....
