Subject: [stella] PAL VSYNC timings?? From: Dennis Debro <ddebro@xxxxxxxxxxxxx> Date: Mon, 18 Nov 2002 7:18:57 -0500 |
With the recent discussion about NTSC/PAL conversion brought up by Chris I thought I'd revisit my concerns too. It was mentioned by Eckhard that he saw problems in games that did things during VSYNC.

I'm using VSYNC to check the console switches. I just couldn't resist using the 228 machine cycles in VSYNC for this. I'm also doing WSYNCs to give the 3 scan lines needed for VSYNC. I was mostly doing this because I thought that's what Eckhard meant by "uninterrupted lines". The last I saw of this topic, Chris Wilkson was going to run some tests. Does anyone have these results? I can't find them in the archives.
