Preparing new release 'Fluffy Flags' for 2023/12/12. All known bugs won't be fixed though. Any one that particularly annoys you?

I have BW analog VGA monitor H35kHz. And I must add Lm1881 separator to use it.

For real VGA you must add separator Hsync and Vsync (PIN14)

I couldn't find the original spec but according to some sources (e.g. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/VGA_connector) pin 13 accepts both H-sync and C-sync. It might be that some VGA monitors behave differently but I have never come across one. I own an adapter which splits C-Sync into H-Sync and V-sync but I never had a situation where this adapter works but a pure 1:1 connection from C-Sync to pin 13 doesn't.

And after that, another one that makes me laugh a lot:

Csync work only with VGA-RGB-IN. like TV or 15kHz Monitor.

So many thanks for your great continuous work and efforts! 

@Urusergi makes all the work when there are all these things to patch or fix  I just convert the little games that are directly 100% joypad

Is it connected via ... a shower hose?


so something like this for modern PCs?

Only for torrenting.

To easily connect a CPC to a VGA cable I'd love to have an adapter PCB which is much easier and more reliable to solder than an adapter cable. I made a quick design for a PCB but I am not sure if it should contain resistors or not. 

For the Atari ST, it also works without anything but it's reported, that with resistors in the RGB lines (45-100 Ohms are mentioned) the quality will be (much) better. Also someone discovered that some capacitors for hsync and vsync (10nF and 470pF) can help with the quality. 

Will those resistors be a benefit on the CPC too? And would a capacitor for Csync also improve the quality?
