the board is pretty much the same, but some sellers add a case, knobs, display, and other extra features. i bought mine years ago before all of that was possible. I canโ€™t recommend one specifically, but have a look around.

No, sadly not. For pixel perfect the signal needs to be analog (like an old PC monior), not digital (which the TV processes to do overscan/etc). IIRC the older OSSC has VGA out.

Pixel-Perfect retro gaming on LCD 480p EDTVs ย โŒ˜Iย ย Getย Info I recently saw a feature on Racketboy about โ€œThe Best 4:3 LCD Monitors for Retro Gamingโ€ which is an interesting list that misses the mark for one reason: it...

One of my favourite discoveries and contributions to retro gaming is this info about LCD 480p VGA EDTVs. Direct picture from cable to panel with no image processing.

I love it when somebody discovers this post, finds & buys a TV and sends me a message! ๐Ÿ˜

You can use Y-cables or a switch selector box (component = PS2, GC, Wii) and/or KVM cables (VGA = Xbox, 360). My advice is to plan it all on paper before buying anything, trying to connect everything at once is hell. Connect and verify each console then do the next one. You can do it!๐Ÿคž

I think running through something like GBS-Control or another scaler is the easiest way for Saturn.

A bit of a different #NewMusicMix this week, an old track!

โ€œSun End Girlโ€ by Dร‰ Dร‰ MOUSE (2015)
www.youtube.com/watch?v=Zdz8...

itโ€™s a kind of update of one of his early tracks โ€œWest End Girlโ€ but is a good taster of my latest DJ mix

Selection masks are in my pixel art app Dottie!
It's still early days with some more to do, but so far:
- magic wand
- rectangle
- circle
- freehand
- polygon
with add/subtract using modifiers.
and marching ants!

(Ignore the temporary tool icons and tinted debug background)

The 1997 English edition of โ€œTokyo Styleโ€ is here, I canโ€™t imagine the 2024 edition will be different other than perhaps size. I stuck with my ~2003 Japanese mook edition archive.org/details/toky...

Going the UIKit route also unlocked much faster polling of drag position for me, doubling the responsiveness of drawing (the actual drawing code was always very fast, but wasn't being called frequently enough during a drag)

I would prefer it too, but I couldn't figure out any way of getting right click drag (and a bunch of other mouse interactions) using only SwiftUI. So I'll live with it for now as I've got much more important things to implement

Posted an update to Dottie with some small pencil fixes, quick eraser toggle when in pen/pencil draw modes, improved filled oval, added move (scroll canvas) tool.
