colodore is the new pepto

Hey guys, I remeasured the video-signals of my VIC-II's and slightly updated my 15 year old attempt at calculating an rgb-clone. While at it, I also measured VIC & TED and made a little website about it, that allows you to adjust brightness, contrast and saturation as you like and then save your own custom palette to a png-file.

http://www.colodore.com


I took extra care to make sure, that the brightness, contrast and saturation sliders behave the same way as my 1084s.

While closely comparing my LCD to the 1084s, I found that making the transparency of scanlines dependent on YUV's Y (so they are less visible for brighter colors) looked a lot more like the real thing. I also noticed that the phase-shift on odd-lines happens for YUV's V only and there's even a name for it in video-lingua: hanover bars.

After implementing this, I'm happy to say that the images on my LCD and 1084s are remarkably close.


I will write a more detailed article about it in January, but seriously need a christmas-break first...

Cheers,
pepto

Really great! Exactly how the C64 emulation and all screenshots on csdb should be.

There is a checkbox in options if you choose VIC-II.

Awesome. I would love if you could also input the numbers, not just drag them, as that can be a bit fiddly on slower systems.

well. DK's Deus Ex Machine is probably NUFLI because of no Flixor.
If not then pls change the screenshot to proper one ;)

...boob compatibility sure sounds like a crowdpleaser, noted... ;o)

I picked some of my fav "recent" pics from artists whose work I admire... didn't really look at the formats they were done in...
