scanlines doesn't work

[koseidon72]

Hello, I would like to inform that I can't see scanlines on screen even changing the option in the cfg file

[koseidon72]

I forgot to tell you that I am using windows and I've tried both exe (normal and miniGW) without results

Currently, there are four display options, which only apply to the ZX Spectrum models. (I still have to implement that in the CPC models)

Imagine this program: 10 BORDER 0: PAUSE 1: BORDER 7:PAUSE 1: GOTO 10

• nodoublescan : This one is the simplest one, it displays first the odd scanlines, then the even scanlines, filling the entire screen. The program will flicker as the border changes from black to white.
• scanlines : This one interlaces the odd and the even scanlines, keeping them in place. You should see the effect of interlaced black and white lines.
• average : This one averages both fields. The border should be gray, as the average of black and white.
• crt : This one is the typical "scanlines" option. This displays the same as "nodoublescan" but the even field is darker, which gives the impression of scanlines.

So maybe, either you're using the CPC models (which do not have these modes implemented yet) or you're using --scanlines instead of --crt

Thanks a lot. CRT was an undocumentad option. Not present in the cfg file and in the readme

I've updated the README.md, the SpecIde.cfg.template in the source tree, and the option names. Now it would be:

--nodoublescan (PAL odd field only on all lines) --scanlines (PAL odd field with darker scanlines) --interlace (PAL odd and even fields, interlaced) --average (PAL odd and even fields, averaged)

Next release will have this change.

This was actually a bug in the documentation. Thank you for reporting it!

thanks

Now these options are in the release, so I'll close this issue if it works.
