1024x768??

Kaotic Soul · January 15th, 2003

I hope in the near future the authors of VBA would implement 1024x768 resolution. I want to experience games in total full screen.

The Vagrant · January 15th, 2003

UM....psst..ya might wanna check the full screen feature...

Kaotic Soul · January 15th, 2003

yeah but doesn't that just stretch it full screen with the aspect ratio of 800x600?

The Vagrant · January 16th, 2003

Ya it does but when you use one of the filters (Super 2xSai) you can't tell the differance...looks real pretty.

**Forgotten** · January 17th, 2003

Next version will have support for full screen mode selection up to 4095x4095 if your video card supports it.

Forgotten

..... IF your video card supports it....

Can you say overkill

. Thats good news though!

But The Vagrent is right, with one of the SAI filters on it doesnt really matter what the rez is; pixels are all smoothed anyways.

Kaotic Soul · January 19th, 2003

I don't like the Sai engines.

**Kane** · January 19th, 2003

Then don't use them. Or are you saying that Forgotten should remove them just because you don't like them?

Kaotic Soul · January 19th, 2003

No, I don't use them, ppl have thier own preferences. He should not remove them because I don't like them, and I never implied no such thing.

ChrisJ · January 24th, 2003

What's wrong with it. It makes things look better. Oh my god, what a problem! Anways, I would like to play my games in 1280x1024

ChrisJ · January 24th, 2003

Oh yes, forgot ot ask. What would 4095x4095 look like? The higher the resolution it generaly looks better right?

**Kane** · January 24th, 2003

Well considering it's 2d and the souce image is tiny, I wouldn't imagine so.

Don't doeuble post. There is an edit button.

sonicfoot · January 24th, 2003

I am curious. How is it that when one uses resolutions from 640x480 onwards 2d graphics have little improvement in image quality?

>I am curious. How is it that when one uses resolutions from 640x480 onwards 2d graphics have little improvement in image quality?

Where would the information to improve the quality come from? You can only do so much with pattern recognition.

Im confused.
Just in case im talking about general 2d graphics, not on GBA's.

What Kane is trying to say is that if you display something (eg. a photograph or a 2d game) at a higher resolution than what it was originally made at, it will become pixelated because there is no extra data to clarify more pixels to be colored. For example if one pixel is black at 320*240, four pixels will be black at 640*480(double the resolution). This makes the picture look pixelated at higher resolutions, as in the picture below. Graphical filters like 2xsai and supereagle will try to correct this problem by smoothing the graphics.

sonicfoot · January 25th, 2003

Oh! I get it now. Thanks guys.

Kaotic Soul · January 25th, 2003

Since I play VBA with the pixelate filter on, it makes the pixels smaller and to my sight , the image looks more detailed.

JeX · January 26th, 2003

Gameboy games aren't supposed to be played in high resolutions in the first place anyway lol.

ChrisJ · January 26th, 2003

Yo, Captain! Your picture doesn't make sense? Since I play ZSNES and play Megaman X and I play it on 1280x1024 and the graphics DO look better, and they don't look like your picture. There is a reason that people "keep aspect ratio" because it makes it look the same in size only in better detail.
