It can fool you into sensing Green like the trees should be (100 color remakes of U4 depicted with Green caused me to write this mistake) and it also fools you into sensing Orange like the fire breathing dragon at top right in Ultima IV title screen. Not pure brown, this color is like a brown mixed from paints green and orange. I must correct my previous post, the artifacted colors you should see in Ultima IV are Blue water, but the other isn't quite Green forest, it's more of a Brown earth tone that's hard to describe in one word that I know, any suggestions? Atarimania screenshots attached to "Ultima V" (unfinished, unreleased) show this color well. Don't blame me, I'm just a Comment from a Guest User. Now I'm hopelessly Not Sure (about green and purple artifacts emitting from One of my Ataris). My 800XL was reserved for Work, and I solved Ultima IV on my model 800. The Green and Purple scheme results from a generator phase shift of half a pixel. Of course the various video generators in Atari can be phase tuned to make different artifact colors. Wikipedia has an article named "Composite Artifact Colors", subheading "Hardware", Atari 8bit gets one paragraph, the last paragraph, and it says to expect "blue and red" colors. Its author may have been an Englishman who needed to research how to draw, and what he read might still be online today. The oldest most primitive emulator I have from 1998-99 has only one color scheme: blue and rich red, Ultima IV gets red water and blue terrain. There's so many draw errors in pre 2006 artifacting that rather than patch things the author made "new" artifacting but with silly pastel colors, and introduced new bugs which never got fixed (see Stellar Shuttle). Why is Blue water (in Ultima IV) now termed a Reverse mode, and what's special about the date 2006 relative to Atari 8 bit for such a profound change to be made. 2006 and beyond saw the name change to "XL/XE" artifacting and then Blue Terrain!, the mode which draws Blue water in U4 is now called Reverse, and this is why Reverse XL/XE is listed first and so-called normal XL/XE colors is listed 2nd, because the list didn't change, only the names did. Hi res card games notoriously want reddish suitesīefore 2006, emulator "Atari800MacX" named its default artifact colors "Blue/Brown" and Ultima IV got blue water. Pinball Construction Set & files created by PCS Lode Runner, Championship Lode Runner - reversed? Hard Hat Mack - reversed programming & screenshots Galaxian by "XXL" (an Apple II conversion) Music Construction Set (in Utilities section) ATASCII Character Set is one such example! I want to tag Ultima here with a good list of other "High Resolution" programs having artifacting, not a complete list.įirst there are hi res program not meant to be seen with any artifacting, often made recently in our post-CRT era, or they intentionally draw hi res in such a laborious way as to minimize any artifacting. I hope this information is useful for you.Sorting out what went wrong with artifacting has made a little mess of comments here, thanx for being understanding. Strike 3: Encouraged by the continued development, I've ordered this connector from Raphnet (expected to arrive next week) Miner2049er - Bob is uncontrollable and continuously moving left, but the trigger makes him jump OK. The Atari Basic function Stick(0) returns a value of 11 (Left) when this joystick is connected and at rest. Nor is there any way I can see in the interface to map the relevant axis to the joystick. If I use this joystick in MAME, its recognised as JOY1 A3/A4 (screenshot 2)Ītari800MacX reports 2 analogue joysticks, but these don’t correspond with any movements on the controller axis 4 goes low when the joystick moves left. See comparisons screenshots of the Atari800MacX 'Joystick identify' screen vs joystick mapper app ‘Enjoyable’, and with MAME.Įnjoyable sees 5 separate axis, > eg. With this device, Atari800MacX 5.0.4 recognises the gamepad input, but only the fire button works. The second device I tried was the USB joystick from RetroLink: So it’ll probably be August at least before I can test the one I have in Spain. I’ve tried to find an alternative supplier but they seem to have been discontinued. Its sounds like you’ve addressed this issue, but unfortunately, I left the adaptor at my house in Spain, so I can’t test again it until the lockdown is over! The first was with the Mayflash Megadrive adaptor, which when plugged, in caused Atari800MacX 5.0.1 to crash upon opening. I had issues with two solutions that I tried: Per original post I was trying to find a method of using an original Atari joystick with Atari800MacX Thanks for the emails and for alerting me to the new version, which is very welcome.
