Same image for multiple platforms

Did another version: Amstrad CPC MODE 0 interlaced.

I wonder what the cons are with interlaced images. The advantage of course is that we suddenly get a palette of 125 colours instead of 27. And I know that one con is that a lot (most?) emulators doesn't handle it that well, which is why many YouTube videos give a terrible impression.
What other cons are there?

The effect doesn't work on some modern televisions so if somebody is using a scart lead on a modern tv they'll not see the effect. I've tried it on my tv and only 1 colour out of each 2  was shown.

On an Amstrad monitor some colour combinations flicker more than others.

Does the tool allow various stipple patterns? There are some nice techniques on the C64 which have different stipple patterns that produce some nice colours.

It's often terrible when using scan converters to connect the CPC to VGA/HDMI displays.

Well, the interlaced effect will obviously only work on a 50 hz display, since it switches colour 50 times per second.
So when using a modern LCD screen or a VGA/HDMI converter that changes the refresh rate to 60 hz, we're bound to have issues.

Same problem if doing a 50 fps video - and then upload to YouTube where everyone will watch it on their 60 hz monitor.

An LCD monitor displays interlacing nicely by itself.

To show a flicker on YouTube you have to decide on 50 or 60Hz and watch on such a monitor.



ps. Its not graber. I prepare this from few selected screenshots
