It wasn't that complex at all -- any simple DSP-based chip is fairly easy. Reprogrammable DSPs are about the only thing that is truly difficult to emulate. About the only thing I'd say is difficult for emulators to emulate about the Amiga hardware is that trick of producing "14-bit" sound by playing 2 channels at the same time with different sample data with one channel delayed by half a sample. As for "crisp", maybe they boot up with the filter turned on ;-) > > And just because your TV is bigger than your monitor doesn't mean you > > can't play VGA games on it ;-) > > You have to remember that the Amiga was meant for play on RGB monitors, > which like TV's allow for a bluring of the pixels on screen.

Same thing goes for game consoles (I love > hooking up PSX to my old Amiga monitors... looks great!) This is a matter of preference -- for example, the only thing that looks better on older RGB monitors are games with low resolution (320x256 and lower). In those cases, I agree the old RGB monitors look good. But a TV also has the same blurring effect. Someday I'll actually get the www.demodvd.org project completed, and I'll put a full dissertation on it on how difficult it is to capture NTSC video from computers *and* get it to look "as good as people remember it". ---------------------------------------------------------------------- This message was sent to you because you are currently subscribed to the swcollect mailing list.
