I had noticed that it was a rock-solid half-vertical-retrace animation, so I just forced my card to output 60Hz instead of 70Hz, captured it, threw away every other field (since odd and even fields were identical due to half-framerate), and then applied it. I was trying to make it look better than the original because I wanted it to be yet another "perq" to buying the DVD (over watching the original). -- http://www.MobyGames.com/ The world's most comprehensive gaming database project. -- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.

Re: [SWCollect] MindCandy
Misplaced? No way, that sounds intriguing. Why did you do it? Was it the hacker in you that wanted to improve on a great piece of coding, or did the output not translate well to TV/DVD in its native form?

And what you saw in that last spaceship scene was not actually Second Reality, but a re-vectored interpretation of the original frames. Meaning, the original runs at 30 fps and I revectored it (computed motion vectors for each pixel and interpolated across time) to 60 fps -- so what you're seeing is actually better than the demo itself ;-) Yes, I have a life...

Re: [SWCollect] MindCandy
Not only that, you also included what was for me the best early 90s demo I saw -- Future Crew's Second Reality. The final scene in that demo was spectacular; the spaceship flying through a city where the camera angle constantly shifts. Pretty darn good.

Re: [SWCollect] Current MobyGames poll
I've seen EA CDROM Classics releases of System Shock CD, which is what mine
is, I think... I'll have to look. But it certainly didn't seem that rare to
me... So I guess we're talking about the original System Shock CD release.
Good grief, check ebay item #1948523698 -- a used, opened System Shock 2, EA
Classics release, going for over $50 canadian?? You can get that new for
$14! Sheesh. Some people are uneducated :)
