Chilly Willy, thank you for your response. I agree that there were probably not technical reasons, related directly to the actual chip outputs, behind the artists decisions in any given game. I also agree that funding, and the arbitrary decisions made by corporations regarding their own bottom line ...

As I said, I am set on proving or disproving whether it is possible to measure the subjective aspect of playing these games on the output they were intended for. To that end, I have so far taken hundreds of movies and tested five different capture cards to arrive at this conclusion. Data taken from ...

First off, what does composite have to do with anything? Are you making some sort of handicap for the Genesis via its unique (crappy) composite video? I hope not. I've seen this quite a bit of this amongst Genesis only fans (and pretty absent from EU Megadrive fans as they ran RGB) and trying to ...

I just ordered Kaze No Densetsu Xanadu, the first one, from Japan. With it I'll be able to do a detailed comparison of emulation versus composite out versus any other title. From what I'm seeing via emulation, Xanadu is only exceptional in its gameplay and art quality, but a full comparison may tell ...

SMS compatibility in the Megadrive/Genesis is a huge deal, even in the US. I bought an SMS in 1988 and a Genesis in 1989, then in 1990 I sold my SMS and NES for a TG16 *because* I could use the Power Base Converter to play my SMS library. To this day I know people who own and play SMS games on their ...

I updated my analysis to reflect the true CPU specs and sprite table. I like those comparison shots. The only thing I would point out is that the differences in some objects or background elements would appear to be a mere palette choice difference if you looked at these shots through the actual ...
