Subject: Re: [stella] Reflex: To NTSC/PAL50/PAL60, or not to NTSC/PAL50/PAL60 From: debrodennis@xxxxxxxxxxx Date: Tue, 03 Aug 2004 19:14:56 +0000 |
Hi Thomas,

So it is more like a letter box feel. I'm curious about this too because I never saw Climber 5 on a PAL TV. I just ran it in Z26.
Most games I've seen (and that's not a lot of them) have done this. Air-Sea Battle was the first game I saw that adjusted the height of the display to compensate for this.
Take care,
Dennis
