Quote: 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. |

The latter. I didn’t create the compo but afaik it specifically mentions demo and do not restrict to one part. |

is "inverted" use of ghostbyte OK, i.e. $ff to make the mainscreen black as long as borders are not black, including top/bottom? |

Yes, that would qualify as a black center area. Also a smart move, combined with sprites under chars, to get automatic clipping with open borders but disabled display. |
