scanlines and resolution

[theelf]

Hi!

two questions

first, is possible to use scanlines with OpenGL?¿ i will love to have real scanlines for EGA games, but my CRT is 31khz, then i need to emulate them


Second not too important, is possible to use non 4:3 resolutions?
for example, i use 1600x1200 right now in my CRT, but i will preffer 1280x1200 or 1280x100 for example, because i already use 1600x1200 for some emulators at 60hz

Or a way to select 70hz for a resolution


Thanks a lot

Any ideas? still stuck in this problems with scummvm

Thanks

I don't use the OpenGL modes myself, and know very little about it, so I could easily be wrong. But from what I understand, there isn't any such feature. (There is a "TV2x" graphics mode, but then it's no longer OpenGL.)

It looks like it does check available fullscreen resolutions, and picks the one it thinks will be the most suitable... but I don't know if there's any way to force it to use a particular one.

It does save the previously used mode in the ScummVM settings file as "last_fullscreen_mode_width" and "last_fullscreen_mode_height", but I can't tell if editing that by hand makes any difference.

In OpenGL fullscreen mode you can toggle between available resolutions using Crtl+Alt and either + or -

Thanks for reply, finally i decided to moddify the sourcecode and add a 6x scale with variable scanlines

Now the EGA games look amazing in my CRT, very similar to my old EGA screen


In 640x480 the doublescan of normal 31khz break all the magic for scanlines, but in higher resolutions, the magic is back again!


Monkey Island in 1920x1440 using a 6x scaler, and no need for OpenGL










I have a problem, when i press F5, the cursor have scanlines too

Just when is the scummvm menu, in normal ingame no... any ideas?

Hi guys, sorry double post, but i need some advice


Finally i did a nice normal6x, bit now i want to do a scanlines6x


Can I have some advice how to do? im stuck in this one


First i edit surfacesdl-graphics.cpp in "backends\graphics\surfacesdl"

and changed
case GFX_TV2X:
newScaleFactor = 2;

to
case GFX_TV2X:
newScaleFactor = 6;


But im stuck in this code.. any advice how to convert to scale6x? now is scaling to 2x

Code: Select all

template<typename ColorMask>
void TV2xTemplate&#40;const uint8 *srcPtr, uint32 srcPitch, uint8 *dstPtr, uint32 dstPitch,
					int width, int height&#41; &#123;
	const uint32 nextlineSrc = srcPitch / sizeof&#40;uint16&#41;;
	const uint16 *p = &#40;const uint16 *&#41;srcPtr;

	const uint32 nextlineDst = dstPitch / sizeof&#40;uint16&#41;;
	uint16 *q = &#40;uint16 *&#41;dstPtr;

	while &#40;height--&#41; &#123;
		for &#40;int i = 0, j = 0; i < width; ++i, j += 2&#41; &#123;
			uint16 p1 = *&#40;p + i&#41;;
			uint32 pi;

			pi = &#40;&#40;&#40;p1 & ColorMask&#58;&#58;kRedBlueMask&#41; * 7&#41; >> 3&#41; & ColorMask&#58;&#58;kRedBlueMask;
			pi |= &#40;&#40;&#40;p1 & ColorMask&#58;&#58;kGreenMask&#41; * 7&#41; >> 3&#41; & ColorMask&#58;&#58;kGreenMask;

			*&#40;q + j&#41; = p1;
			*&#40;q + j + 1&#41; = p1;
			*&#40;q + j + nextlineDst&#41; = &#40;uint16&#41;pi;
			*&#40;q + j + nextlineDst + 1&#41; = &#40;uint16&#41;pi;
		&#125;
		p += nextlineSrc;
		q += nextlineDst << 1;
	&#125;
&#125;

Hi theelf, your 6x scaler looks really nice.

Do you have any plans to continue work on this and maybe try to submit a patch to get it included in the main ScummVM branch?

Can't see the sample pictures
My G4-Mini (OSX10.3.9) does not show a regular raster either in fullscreen or window mode when choosing tv2x. Is it broken or is it due to my screen (15" TFT 1024x768 native). It does not get any better if I choose aspact-correction.

Thx
