GFX mode 512x192 — ZXNet «real.speccy»

From Andrew Demyanenko To All 9 August 2000

Greetings, oh dear Dmitry!

Here just now on 16-Jul-00 at 02:40:09, Dmitry Naboka was throwing rotten tomatoes
at Grigory Klimenko, while saying something about GFX mode 512x192.
Well, I butted in

It will work anyway. I once dealt with this issue, although someone
notorious (we will not name names) discouraged all sorts of hunting...
The principle is alternate sampling of pixels from both screen pages (with
hardware switching).

Oh... I’m not talking about that a little. Dynamics on the screen in one-frame will be impossible
(I mean full-fledged games, scrolling, etc.) - there will be brakes.

True, I had a palette - 4 kilos of colors in 16 (stupidity, of course) and my own memory (RGBW pages - 16 kilos each). Also, as development progressed, I would have added a
text mode (for fonts, part of the Vidyaka memory was used.

And so, perhaps add another percentage (like Atmel).

There were ideas to attach a VGA card with 256 - 512k of memory.

Bye, Yuri.

Well, if so, then I agree. This will have to redraw 2 screens at the same time - the computer won’t handle it ;(
