It would be interesting to do this with some games that use artifacts to create additional colours and strange effects. For example the leaves in woodman's stage on rockman 2, the water in zelda, the lava in metroid etc Or even just games that use a lot of blending like へべれけ . At least comparing composite to RF :)

The flickering isn't too bad on a real game boy colour but what hurts the presentation of this game more on such hardware is the interlacing of the screen, so it ends up where every other line of the 2 parallax layers is missing, losing a lot of detail as it scrolls. Strangely, when you pause it, the lines stay missing. I am guessing this means the GBC (and GBA seems to work the same) updates the display in a weird way, in that it only updates half the display every frame but for example if you pause it, it stops updating the display completely and the alternate lines never get filled in? Strange. How do the original DMG and game boy pocket / light handle things? Are they all interlaced too? I have only found a video of this game playing on a DMG but that screen is very blurry so it is not possible to tell as all scrolling detail is lost anyway. Would be interesting to see on a pocket or light. But yes, what you show here looks far better than on a real game boy as you don't have the ghosting and are only blending 2 frames instead of probably quite a few on original hardware. BTW, even some gba games use this effect to some extent, for example with the map display on f-zero.

How do i get the game to sound just like this in DosBOX? I'm using the GOG version.

That took me 50 times to get that right

Great soundtrack. How did you record it (hardware, extraction of midi-files, sysex)? Do you offer a high quality download (flac-files) on your blog?

very cool

Another example would be the "out of focus" background in the Bionic Commando intro, but it doesn't make much difference.

How is the frame blending compared to the Analogue Pocket on the Chromatic's own screen? If I turn it on on my Pocket, it eliminates flicker but motion is more blurry compared to my original GBC. Was wondering if Modretro's method works better.

Is there any reason to have it off?

Can you show Desk Mate, BASIC and maybe, Windows(if there, which version?) Please, thanks. I would get it for Desk Mate and Home Organizer apps.I had a 1000 RLX, Desk Mate, in full color, was my fave app. I also liked Windows 3.11, Windows 95(if it ran on that machine, I'm not certain. Print Shop, Wheel of Fortune and Hangman(included in Desk Mate) and eventally, Microsoft Bob, though I would have prefered a feline.

Hello there! According to long-time Ultima lore, the Apple ii version of the 1986 re-release of the first game has a little knight come out of the castle on every fourth loop of the intro (and supposedly a race car comes out every 16th). I can not find the disk images anywhere, and this is one of the very few places online I can find any reference to that version specifically. Do you know where I could get my hands on the disk images you have, or somewhere where I could see this knight/race car visual effect?

How did you get invincibility cheat? 🤨 EDIT: NVM I GOT IT,

Nes original was what we were stuck with. Thank God for Rom hacks.

Ive played around with the active yc encoder for mister annd your video matches my findings. Generally i found the mister to have more horisontal blur than original hardware

Somebody should make an upgrade patch for Ultima 1 DOS, and update the upgrade patch for Ultima 2, to include this music.

Very interesting that the disk writer kiosk uses NES style game paks

Nice!! Is there any difference in sound between famicom av revisions?

MT-32??? Man us DOS users were cheated.

I love this game. I used to play it with an amber monitor

Thanks for posting this😀. Good memories. The track Unknown is the invulnerability music.

Hah! Thanks YT algorithm. I remember being trash at this game in 80s.

Thank for the great vid.

Pac-Man SHOULD have been this way on NES. Literally No Excuse.

Vultures will pick thy bones!!!!

I have only managed to emulate it in Hercules but with graphics. I would like to know how to activate that second Hercules mode with text only.

Thanks for tracking this down, restoring the audio (possibly making the subtitles too?), and reuploading it. I saw this video being talked about on some old webpages, but all the links were dead. Was a little afraid that it was totally lost in "HD" and with English subs.

There's different cover art for Zelda 1 on the disk writer machine!!!

Thank you so much for this upload!! I know every single note of these songs, but had never heard the Roland versions, it's been such a cool experience 🥰🤘

Thank you so much for posting this. My very first RPG. My best friend showed it to me on his 1200xl...such great memories. I was so happy to get an 800xl for my own, was my first computer, too. This music is so ingrained in my memory.

No, this isn't the hardest. The most difficult one is at the end when you're trying to escape after destroying Mecha Ridley. I've tried a few hundred times and still can't do it.

Thanks for this, new sub

These are BS.

how i can do the cheat?

how are you able to record your gameplay?

The animations for Zelda no Densetsu are (forgive me) SO KAWAII!!

Suddenly those Dread Shinesparks ain't so bad after all

Update: I was mistaken about this game's lack of Tandy graphics support. Just run SKYFOX16.EXE (CRC32 0E1B5A78) with the "t" command line argument, as in SKYFOX16.EXE t and you will see Tandy Graphics and hear Tandy Sound. Thanks to Cloudschatze for pointing this out to me. He also pointed out that "m" gives you mouse support if you have a mouse driver installed.

It's not unused though. Throw a "t" parameter at SKYFOX16.EXE, and you'll get both Tandy sound and graphics. The game even has mouse support with inclusion of the "m" parameter. (e.g., "skyfox16.exe t m")

Sounds really similar to the Commodore 64 Port of the Music

sounds awesome.

FINALY BEAT THIS CRAP … my god

Wait, that's where that one escape sequence segment in Metroid Desolation was from?

OMG I had no idea this existed!! I've always liked the PC speaker title music, but this is somehow even better. How was this discovered?

Does anyone know who did the animation for Zelda?

This game made me appreciate classical music

Hmmm a magazine cover CD had a demo of the PC-CD version (ACE magazine?) so it definitely got sent to magazines to review back then.

Hi there, maybe you will read this. I have a copy from the game here and I am trying to bring this up to run. Can you remember how you have configured DOSBox or the config file? What about that MSCDEX Patch, how does this work? Thanks.

What emulator and speed was this? I can't follow what's being typed because the input is gone as soon as enter is hit, replaced by a fully-rendered screen and new text.

I made a similar video comparing an NES and MiSTer through a composite encoder. watch?v=jGu_qxqMdu0

I just did it thanks by you ❤
