Can you spot two wrongs?
Those with a keen eye will notice the larger screen real estate on my desktop. What about the three resolutions that appear selectable? If you saw these things, then you're an Atari ST rock star. I salute you!
I've been experimenting with a few programs that support higher resolutions and more. Some use interlacing to double the vertical resolution, but that can look odd and hurt my eyes! (use 60Hz!!). Others can create a virtual screen by using the Atari STe's hardware scrolling (Uh? Why would you wanna scroll?)
Interestingly, some programs feature overscan. This technique uses the empty borders and sparked my curiosity. Using this extra screen space is great, and it doesn't slow anything down. Most GEM programs should work perfectly fine, and I'm left wondering why Atari couldn't have made this standard?
I've made a bundled download of these programs - please let me know if there are others I've missed.
