  • This version does look better than the emulated IMHO..... and sounds BILLIONS of times better!

    Am I the only one that thinks this?

  • Gotta have to agree on the sound here. But why does it look better? The colors output from the modulator are extremely dull (didn't get around to build a composite cable for the VIC yet)

  • Some of the subtle effects look better. The CBM BASIC screen scrolling off, the starfield's stars at the opening have a subtle brightness variation to make them seem more like actual stars, and the landing sequence seems sharper.

  • That's all due to another de-interlace and blending technique used when encoding the video ... rather than just dropping frames like I did with the emulator video back then. In the emulator it should look the very same.

  • da landscape looks like a cityscape.. ;)

  • 2:40 I heard that music before, when was playing FreeDroid.

  • goodness this is excellent.

  • Ow, that's an incredible kick in the nuts (Sounds a bit like the 'NES only having Composite output' issue).

    Either way, I thank you for answering my question in a helpful and intelligent manner.

    Glad to know some YouTube commenter's aren't complete idiots (Though, the success rate for 'intelligent commenter's' on Demoscene related videos does seem higher then usual :p).

  • The VIC-20 can at best generate S-Video through an internal hack and change of connector. As far as I know neither the VIC nor the C64 (!) has any sort of RGB, perhaps not even inside the video chips. On some markets (France?) they were equipped with a daughter board to convert to RGB, which according to a friend of mine produces an even worse video signal than composite video...

  • If there any way to get RGB video out of the VIC-20?

    Or does it run into problems with being low resolution and the such?
