Ohoy
So, I'm about to start recording a lot of videos from my Amstrad CPC.
For this I've bought the XRGB-Mini Framemeister, which offers scanline emulation.
It can take a 240p image and scale it up to 720p. In this process it takes every line and displays twice followed by the same line again dimmed a bit.
It is this dimming I'm asking for help with. I can set how much it's supposed to be dimmed. The standard settings looks good, but I don't feel it's entirely accurate.
Thought I better ask here.
I can set a value between 0 and 100, where 0 is completely blank and 100 is not dimmed at all.
What do you emulator creators usually use?
P.S.: Yes, I know the CPC doesn't output a 240p signal. I'm trimming the edges to get a 240p image.

WinAPE uses 50% RGB values in the alternate scan lines, but also blurs the pixels horizontally by using a running average on the RGB.

I do the really bad emulation. ;)
I put a black line every odd line and I'll be doing the same for the next release because I'm concentrating on crtc emulation now. (ok I took a detour to emulate the symbiface 2 roms and ram).
I do perform gamma correction, brightness and contrast though - or at least I try.
I'll change it after I've sorted most of the crtc emulation.
