Title: Interlace Viewer by Syx
Post by: ComSoft6128 on 19:01, 22 December 20
Spanish production from 2011.

Some of the images displayed are almost photographic in quality.

Hint:
Pressing the pause button when each image is displayed will help to sharpen the image and removes the "shimmering" effect.

Oh my God! Ten years has passed already, hehehe.

Those pictures were made during the Christmas of 2010 while Dadman (the graphician in this and all my works of that time) and me were experimenting new graphics techniques in the CPC using the real machine (mode 5, mode 6, lazy interlace, rgb interlace, full interlace, new colours by shorting hblank, ... sorry by the silly names I was influenced for other systems) that is the reason of using floppies in Parados format, for example.

Although in this time we were using a tft and then we used the lazy interlace, that only works great in tft/led tvs.

More later, I got my Samsung CRT and developed a much better interlace routine that it is independent of the CRTC model your CPC has... although it looks that, as always, Grim made this idea first, hehehe.

Although the version that you are using is the old one. If I get some minute during the holidays, I will look for the floppy with the good one... although this kind of interlace only works great in a crt tv/monitor.

Merry Christmas!!!  :)

I imagine the copyright 2011 is because we brought all our floppies to the RetroMadrid 2011 and we showed there in the Amstrad User Group (GUA) stand during the event... but technically they were not released at all (as the most part of things that I have made along the years, because they are simple experiments) and I don't know how they are available.

Thanks!!! :)

Although this viewer is using the old interlace technique, not the new one, I always forget that I need to upload the new version, hehehe.
