Also, personally, I have never seen a CRT TV that emits absolutely zero light when displaying nominal black. That's because they were never designed to emit non-zero light even with no signal. The point being that if you send a black level too low a voltage, some CRTs will lose sync as a result. Ni...

Yep. I wish I had contact info for this Kizul character so I could school him on how black levels work on CRTs.

Sorry to necro an old thread, but I've been recently made aware of Kizul's claims that anyone who uses pure black for all the black palette entries is in error. I take great offense to that for a very specific reason: A properly calibrated CRT (or PVM for that matter) will NOT show a difference in A...

Just checking the wiki: It says that 0D = -0.117, and 1D with all emphasis on would be -0.0912. Pretty close, but 0D should be slightly darker. Yeah the difference there is a small enough margin that my eyes couldn't pick up the difference on my PVM. I'm thinking about hooking my own NES up to my R...

I just wish that I could get $0D to be negative black instead of just "pure black": it just doesn't look dark enough on my TV in emulators. On actual hardware, it's like my TV's just completely skips over dots colored with $0D (they're literally pure black, with not a hint of light), but ...

Ah dammit, I found the related info that does match my findings in the NTSC video section (rather than the palette section):

So after hearing of other palette makers deciding to increase entry 1D (and its mirrors) to a grey shade due to 0D being darker, I decided to use a test ROM on an umodded front-loader NTSC NES hooked into a 20M2U PVM with the brightness turned all the way up. I ended up discovering some things I nev...

If you click on that link you posted, you'll see all the schematic file links are broken.

OP's link is broken. Anyone have a mirror link?

I think I chose the multiples of 292 because 292 is a multiple of 4, making 1168 a multiple of 16. The difference between the two is 1.1406:1 (292/256) as opposed to 1.1429:1 (true PAR). I see, so in the case of digital scaling, 1168 makes each pixel integer scaled, though a hair less accurate than...

My question concerns the following line of the section called "For Emulator Developers": But as a slight optimization, you can scale first (256 * 8/7 = 292) and then pad: stretch the 256x240 pixels to 292x240, 584x480, 876x720, or 1168x960 square pixels or 320x240 or 640x480 non-square pix...

So I tested out several SPC files with the internal player on the SD2SNES, and it's not perfect. It seems 1 in 10 or 15 tracks will not play properly and has glitched sound. Bummer. There is no "perfect" SPC uploader/player. There probably can't ever be. ;) What I mean is, these files pla...

Which flash cart are you using? My SNES PowerPak (with aftermarket "MUFASA" firmware) has an SPC player. I've got the SD2SNES. I didn't even know it plays SPC files directly, so I will give that a try next. As I said, I'm new to all this, so my apologies for being ignorant of the capabili...

I'm hoping somebody here can help me on this subject, because I gotta say I'm VERY annoyed with there being no good solution to this: I recently obtained a TOSLINK-modded SNES and I can capture the 32Khz audio from it directly into my computer. I wanted to make direct-hardware ripped soundtracks, an...
