The Art of Wiring
Hello, CSDb denizens;
I'm thinking of doing two small demos; One for the SuperCPU and one for a plain c64. I already have some ideas I'd like to try out in these demos.
I will be cross-assembling it and testing it out under winVICE and of course, on the real machine for the SuperCPU one.
Anyway, I'd appreciate any tips in wiring graphics and pictures for my nascent c64 demo efforts. I already wired a Santa piccy for my SuperCPU full-screen FLI demo and managed to muddy the conversion.
That said, I do have high standards and I want to adhere to them. So, I need to do a better job in wiring graphics/pictures to show for it.
First of all, I wonder if it's possible to use a painting program like Photoshop or Paint Shop Pro for the initial production of the picture? I heard there was a c64 palette of 16 or 256 colors for those PC programs? How do I use this palette under those programs?
Should I then save the resulting file to a .BMP, .GIF or .JPEG? What conversion program should I use? Any intermediate steps? I've already used ConGo with my Santa conversion and it didn't go over too well, so I'd like to explore/use other utilities other than ConGo.
I'm thinking of using the drazlace (interlaced Multi-Color Mode) mode for my c64 demo effort and an IFLI mode for my SuperCPU demo effort. Hopefully conversion efforts will yield good results for these two modes I'm contemplating.
Thanks,
-Todd Elliott |

sure the same can be said for any other laced modes. |

posting 136 cols pics is pretty pointless, everyone can do conversions that look good that way. post executables that we can check on the real thing instead :) |

And stick a tune and scroller on at least, make a bit of a show of it. =-) |

Does anyone want to volunteer to create the display code for C64. Not standard IAFLI displayer, something more snazzy, maybe with VSP, scroller, etc

Not sure what the correct term is IAFLI (Interlaced AFLI) ECI is the same. both Hires FLI
