So does my asshole.
link please.
Damn it, I ain't gonna' be bothered to look up a link, but use simple logic.
SD TVs scan at one single speed. The gun draws 240 lines with each pass. That's it. The console/dvd player/whatever doesn't change that. "High res" stuff like DVDs and PS2 need 480 lines so the gun interlaces by drawing half of the lines on each pass.
Take a look at any 8 or 16 bit game. Do you see anything even close to 480 horizontal lines? No. The gun draws every single line used by the game in a single pass. Hence, progressive scan.
Look up each system's horizontal resolution. They're not all 240 lines, but they're in the ball park. Systems that use less than 240 horizontal lines just draw blank lines at the top and bottom, but you never see them since all SD TVs overscan.
it's almost 3 am here and I've been up since 7 am so my brain isn't working fully right but it's screaming to me that that isn't right. I can't figure out the details of it right now but it's not right. A standard def tv regardless of the resolution it's getting is still doing 2 passes one for the even fields and one for the odd fields, I highly doubt that old systems are putting all of their lines of image on one field because then you would end up with this image black image black image black, and that would be bad.
i got LttP just for the hell of it, i was suprised how much i remembered from the game. I also didnt notice till midway that i was playing the game with the joystick, not d-pad.
I still want OoT, but i also just remembered i want mario party 1 and 2, cause those were the only good ones.
Then i want Genesis games to look good on my television.
Playing Link to the Past is opening up all these forgotten memories for me. I remember being so surprised at the quest just starting where it originally appeared to end. I remember how great it was to be able to swim and dive, and find all sorts of hidden crannies. Everything Zelda did, Zelda 3 did so much better. The sense of exploration was phenomenal and everything you found was actually useful.
