🔥Amiga Quailty Graphics on Commodore 64? Demo (Profik)🕹️ Dreamtime 2023.

Some of those images would have been impressive on the Amiga. Great work.

Wow that’s amazing, I didn’t know the C64 could display such high quality pictures. It would probably look even better on a period correct CRT monitor, I wish they would start making those again.

Absolutely insane . Love the music too.

I LOVE C64 ❤❤❤ FOREVER ❤❤❤❤❤

[@snakefriesia6808]

i really got blown away with this. damn..

[@dr.ignacioglez.9677]

WOW, increíbles gráficos 😍👍

I honestly never got what why people like these flickering images to get a virtual impression of a higher resolution. Personally, give me the low-res versions and just not have them flicker like that, and I'll still be just as impressed.

It looks better on CRT (but not all CRTs, so it came out of fashion with newer CRTs). It's not just about resolution, but also about colours. Also, you're watching a PAL footage in 60fps, of course it's choppy.

I guess I never really used older TV sets with my home computers and always, even early on, had RGB cables instead of composite, ...

[@Breakfast_of_Champions]

Any technical commentary? What is this shimmering effect?

[@jsrodman]

alternate colors on alternate frames, let the crt phosphors blend them. That's the high level idea anyway. I had some fun amiga toy that used copper tricks to get "60,000 colors" on an amiga display ball in the day. x14 from orange did an alternating lines approach to get "262 thousand colors" using standard vga.

WTF!

Someone discovered "dithering"

[@jandoor2068]

Lol, no, it's not dithering, it is persistence of vision - two images with different colours in each pixel are quickly displayed one over the other (50 times a second on PAL systems) so that colours of said pixels "mix" or blend together because of the way the human brain interprets fast moving images. This is why the images are flickering badly in KZbin - this demo was made to run on PAL machines which are 50 frames per second, but KZbin displays in either 30 or 60 causing the frames to be out of sync and thus the flickering. On a real PAL machine displaying on a PAL monitor the flickering is a lot less noticeable. It has nothing to do with "dithering" ;)
