This weekend I thought I' try the Sys game from FF336. When I tried it, it
was obviously meant for a European PAL-type screen. I thought, "No problem.
I'll just use PatchNTSC from FF346 which changes the lo-res screen to an
interlaced screen for just this purpose (It sez it's a patch in OpenScreen
that automatically sets LACE mode when a screen is opened that has a vertical
height >216 or so).
Well, that worked. Sort of. I got an interlaced screen alright, could even
see the whole playing area of the game, but the moving pieces (sprites?)
moved as though it were still a PAL screen. That is, the pieces ignored the
fact that the screen was half-sized vertically. I could sort of play it, but
it was frustrating, to say the least.
Is there a better way to be able to play the game? Adv(Many Thanx)ance to
anyone who can help me out.
PS I have an ancient A1000,
Pre-HalfBrite, even.
