Hi JackAsser, When i have a finished "product", Just upload it to CSDB or to you? It's official the second it's uploaded? |

+1
as this is pretty much what you can see on a real Sony Trinitron CRT with overscan
after smasher's debug border scroll, the debugging border releases fun's done, anyway imho :) |

Just upload it and connect it to be released in this compo. You can alway pull it if you want to submit another entry. Your old entry will ofc always linger on CSDb but will not be part of the compo. |

BTW, you still need to consider a couple pixels "safe area". see my comment here. contrary to socis statement it is not the emulators that are wrong - it is the monitors being different, which is why safe areas exist :) (and the screenshot is not showing how it looks in VICE) |

It’s not about the borders but about touching the inner normal screen which has very well defined limits. A couple of pixels here and there to handle timimg is ok. How far out in the borders are up to you. I do recommend not to extend further than VICE full borders though.
Or did I miss your point Groepaz? |

Given the one single effect vs. game with a title screen debate for the Only Sprites compo, worth being a bit more prescriptive on what "all visual effects" means, or can it be as elaborate and extensive as you want as long as the mainscreen isn't used? |

The point is, "full borders" show the maximum area a Monitor will show. Chances are, actual monitors should less than this - hence make sure it still "work" with "normal borders", even slightly less. |

It’s worth remembering as well that 20% of Youtubers like to record demos - even those with DYPPs running through all borders - in “borderless” mode... which basically means your whole demo is invisible ;-) |

Yup point taken but let’s just have that as general information. I thought you meant specific additional rules. |
