Monitor emulation |
|
Determines
how the monitor picture is rendered .
The None option gives a raw
square pixels.
The Monitor option gives the
normal rendering that you can have on a
real monitor.
The Scale 2x option gives a
smoother image.
The Hq2x option gives also a
smoother image, but requires a powerful
PC;
in full screen mode and with at least the
resolution 1024 x 768 selected in the Performance
menu, the emulator will use the Hq3x
scaler that gives impressive rendering
effects !
The rest of the options tries to emulate
an actual TV monitor with raster effect
and the cathode ray. |

Horizontal Stretch |
|
When the
checkbox is checked, the graphic part of
the emulation is like on a real MSX. The
horizontal stretch is available in all
monitor emulation types. |
| |
|
|
|
De-interlace |
|
When the
checkbox is checked, interlaced mode
works as in older blueMSX versions (before
1.6.1. version); if you uncheck the
checkbox, you get 'real' interlaced mode,
but it is only practical on a fast PC (>
2GHz) since it requires all frames to be
drawn always. This feature is available
in all monitor emulation types. |
| |
|
|
Blend consecutive
frames |
|
When the
checkbox is checked, two consecutive
frames are blended. Although it's not a 'realistic'
option, it makes for example the
Unleashed demo and interlaced games run
smoother. This feature is available in
all monitor emulation types. |
| |
|
|
|
Vertical Stretch |
|
When the
checkbox is checked, your gaming space is
bigger. The vertical stretch is available
in all monitor emulation types |
| |
|
|
|
Scanlines |
|
When the
checkbox is checked, the graphic part of
the emulation is like on a real MSX
connected to a TV screen. You can
determine the percentage of scanlines by
deplacing the slider. The scanlines are
available in all monitor emulation types. |
| |
|
|
|
RF-Modulator |
|
When the
checkbox is checked, you can see the
effect that results from the connection
to a TV screen by the RF-modulator cable.
You can determine the amplitude of this
effect by deplacing the slider. This
effect is available in all monitor
emulation types. |
