I threw a ticket in for this, figured I'd bug Ponut here as well. I was looking at different resolutions for Jo Engine and I had a few questions. I am a complete noob on resolutions so I could very well be completely wrong.
Thanks Ponut.
- JO_480p seems to be misnamed. While the Saturn does have a high resolution 480p mode, I believe JO_480p is actually enabling the 480i mode. So perhaps JO_480i would be the correct name. The code in question is here: johannes-fetz/joengine.
- Is there a reason TV_704x480 was used as the resolution instead of 640x480? I imagine 640x480 would look better on most displays. Again, this is outside of my knowledge.
- When in 480i mode, I believe the framerate is halved to 30 fps. Testing with my project it does appear to be running at half the speed. However the JO_FRAMERATE variable isn't changed and I believe it is always 1.
- 480p support would be fun =). But I imagine a pain to add. And very limited use as it would require a SCART cable and I'm not sure what TVs would be able to handle the signal. And from my understanding 480p runs at 15 fps. But it would be awesome...
Thanks Ponut.
