Hi,
I have upgraded a TC64 to the latest available BETA and found that PAL mode is now exhibiting a highly saturated blue that does not compare well to the C64 I have next firing a PVM Y/C monitor. Previous cores looked right and NTSC mode still looks right. Is there a possibility to revert these PAL color settings ? could this be selectable in the menu in a future core ? I am forced now to use NTSC as the Basic Editor is too agressive to the eye now.
On the other hand I wanted to report some missbehaviour in the scanlines. % of scanline does not behave as expected and creates color artifacts that I had not seen before in other scanline generators. A couple of examples:
As you can see in the Scanline25 file the blank scanlines are properly generated. However they are 100% pure black, nothing to do with 25%.
In the scanline75 file the blanked lines are replaced by a visible video line that only repeats certain colors not the entire line producing color artifacts and an unpleasing blurry image. AFAIK this intermediate scanlines should be either pure black (as they woulb be in the real thing) or a "softer" doubled line. However something is not right as only some color pixels are being doubled.
For the rest I consider the TC64 a magnificient machine. I could not find a single bug in the C64 software/games/demos I typically run, it is just unbelievable. For a future version I would like to have more choices on I/O like USB inputs and HDMI but also RGBS video outputs. More felixibility in the other cores management would be great too.
regards,
Ruben
