oscilloscope star wars

[hakemon]

Do you have a download for this, for those of us who have an oscilloscope? I would like to try this but can't find your special MAME.

[remicles2]

Spaceballs the Oscilloscope! Merchandising!

[imyourhustler]

your the man tough guy

[DODwebdotorg]

Awesome!

[caidaspin]

bad

[Kaneyasha]

I`m manuel gomez(ICPNA) And this is my opinion.

Star wars is such a great movie that everybody has to see.

I'm convinced that star wars is an excellent movie because in the movie you can see alot of action .Without a doubt It`s is very entertainnig because the first time that I see it.Ì couldn`t move from my sit because the special effects were incredible.before I finish let me say that everybody has to see because it`s very interesting and nobody is going to regret.

cant see nothin but thin dark

[Ortmon]

haha that was fucking sweet !

Remembered in school when we were playing with those like "Look its shooting laser ! " but you totally brought it to a new level

[martixbg]

This is incredible! Very kewl.

[lazer59882]

wtf is this, and why does it come up when i search for star wars videos?

this shitty video gets ONE STAR

[Yodarius]

Nice job. Respect

[spongezone]

Amazing. I'd love to try this out on my (otherwise quite useless) analog oscilloscope. Any chance you can release your MAME patch? I realize the code is proof-of-concept, but I'd be happy to hack at it.

[frogeye3000]

you may have made a big breakthrough, bit I can´t see shit.

[jaminstar]

If i'm not mistaken, what you're seeing is the text from the begining of the movie/game followed by some TIE-fighter action

The way they solve the flicker when filming CRTs is to sync up the camera filming rate with the CRT's refresh rate. I would guess that, in theory you could do this with an oscilloscope, too, although you'd need a camera with an adjustable framerate to try...

Great job, though!

[MooseZOOO]

Unfortunately not - this is scanning out the image vector by vector, and that's not something any raster scanning camera can sync to.

[oneillkza]

You mean like the human eye? ;) (Well, I guess there's a fair bit of parallelism going on there, as well as a lot of post-processing.)

Perhaps you could find some software to interpolate the frames? I'm sure this must be what our brains do when confronted with it...

[skforty]

Dude, i am very impressed. Alot of people wont realize how cool this is. Amazing job!

[ukslim]

Is the Oscilloscope too slow for graphics this complex? Mebbe Asteroids would be smoother?

[dgd1542]

Sweet

[Slayerofdevils]

Dude, how the hell did you do that!

[Mjb870225]

I'm wondering if the black lines are a result of the filming, or a side effect of being run on an oscilloscope. In any case, Color me impressed, even though I have little idea what an oscilloscope does. (Measures Oscillo's, right?[Badum-ch])

[Friscom99]

lol I dont know what it does either!

[ukslim]

Basically an oscilloscope measures voltage. Usually the oscilloscope itself moves the dot left-to-right very quickly, while the voltage moves it up and down. That gives you something a bit like the waveform displays on Winamp.

Looks like this oscilloscope is in X-Y mode, meaning one voltage (left channel of soundcard?) moves the dot's vertical position, and another (right channel?) moves its horizontal position).

[MooseZOOO]

That's right. And the brightness is varied by moving the dot at different speeds - slower is brighter.

[angelom3]

The black lines are result from filming it. Just like sometimes you'll see on TV a filming of another TV thats on or a computer monitor, you'll get the same scrolling black bars.

[MooseZOOO]

yes, it's less flickery in the flesh.

[welcomestranger]

Does that mean we're all invited over to see it properly? :P
