interlace - best result
For quite awhile I connect my c64 via scart and a cable directly soldered to the monitor-output.
This sure gives the 'best' quality.
I wonder about interlace-graphics though. And I feel here is the best man-power around here to help me :)
What is the best configuration to a TV (I only have a green-mon otherwise) for interlacegraphics?
Rather the standard antenna-cable?
I know little about TV-signals.
But cant it help to put some very small capacitor inbetween to change the refresh rate and blur/mix the image a bit so interlace will flicker less?
Is that a incredible genius idea or rather stupid and lame?
(there is a thin line between clever and stupid :)
I'd be ok with a less sharp movement in other occasions, also this could be removable. But except a hardwaresolution I mainly ask for the 'best' way to get the signal on the TV.
I hear alot about C and L-signals, but they only apply for monitors, or am I wrong (again) there?
Thanks,
enthusi
PS: Im not totally retarded :) I'd be ok with a slightly more complex solution maybe involving a clever timed PIC-device since synchronizing forbits a simple capacitor or something. |

also I could mess with the TV and increase its brightness in some factors so the image will be burned nonflickering into my eye forever. Still, I was looking for a small-man-solution (who wants to keep his sight) |

If you want a sharp image then use an emu... :D C64 demos are ment to be blurry.

get one of these old TVs which have these long illuminating phosphors. these reduce flickering a lot. also you should turn DOWN the brightness since the human brain reacts slower on dark colors. |

another idea - take a screengrab of each interlace pic, and blend them in photoshop, then you get a pic w/o flicker. |

Hum, thanks Graham at least :) But I'm still hoping for a more active method. My supply of TVs is limited...Dark makes more sense in a way I admit. I was thinking of my green-Monitor which shows no flickering at all if I turn it bright enough since it has a long afterglow ;) Not even the basic-coursor 'flickers' then :) But for some reason most democoders dont prepare for green only.
So when you code your demos at home you have it just as flickering unless you see it on a wall? |

@cruzer: I even coded such a thing in c for the old vice :)
Photoshop is way bloated for that!
But despite the fact that emulators are well done, they suck :)
So does crossassembling (though Im about to change my mind on that soon) |
