About the Disc we watched yesterday, the contents were placed on December 10th 2003. That explains the Re-7 show guy stating the game was already out, in the disc.
martyste
My best guess is that the disc was meant as press-review material, and since most of the content was made in english, it was possibly for Atari to help promote the game to other countries to sell.

This CRT i found a few weeks ago looks quite okay for XXL(PC). But the big surprise is that it seems to support both PAL and NTSC!
martyste
Too bad that the adapter i'm using to convert to Scart support nothing smaller than 640x480, which XXL uses rn ( with 16-bit color depth ) cuz the phosphors seem to fit more a 400x300 resolution.
martyste
the funniest thing is that the LCD of my first laptop supports the crappiest resolutions possible for XXL, and it integer scales!!
martyste
This is 320x240 16-bit
martyste
and why da heck not, 512x384 to fill the whole screen. If only i could do that to the Scart adapter!

What did you do to my game:insanelix:
martyste
It's an officially supported resolution for a 2003 videogame
martyste
Altough i think the lowest i ever got was on my ASUS laptop with 320x200 ( the DOS resolution )
hesopesomeso
Is this about getting it to run on the smallest screen? XD Are tardies any more consistent?
hesopesomeso
Anyways, the history of this game is really cool!
martyste
No this was just fun testing resolutions on my old hardware as native 1366x768 doesn't run at 60 in all places.
martyste
Also it's the vanilla game with zero patches since it's a Windows Vista 32-bit installation.
hesopesomeso
I'm actually very glad that you can even run it using Wine. You prolly get even better performance than on Windows. Never played it on any console, unfortunately, so can't say much about that.
hesopesomeso
Yea the game with no patches is :insanelix:
