Wow cool info folks all around. I’m just reading this forum section and learning about Bill’s passing. This is terribly sad. Dude was an awesome fellow from what I can tell. Speaking of regions, this reminds me of a folklore.org article: I still remember regions

Sad to hear this albeit late. Loved computer chronicles and of course its host, Stuart. He lives on in the joy and pastime browsing the retro community will experience from his show and I’m sure much more than just that.

Nice video @JDW thanks for sharing! Just saw it and the synchr030/s one. Such cool.

Difference between high quality and “low” quality (above quad quality) is pretty modest. So worth trying full screen in low mode. You can always change quality in the game menu options btw. It goes high - low - quad - mush. (Though the game menu will show hi - lo - lo - lo). oh and the...

Whew - what a cool setup. Never heard of Zigzagjoe’s brand stuff. Try grabbing the latest development bin ffrom the repo root dir itself (unless you already did this). — https://github.com/retrospectmike/MacDoomSE30/blob/main/DoomSE30.bin It’s a dev build so you get a console in the...

Glad i could solve it — thanks for the help!

Ok - same link as before (https://github.com/retrospectmike/MacDoomSE30/blob/main/DoomSE30.bin) It has an updated binary. Give it a whirl! As the options menu state, ‘o’ and ‘p’ keys adjust gamma (more o means lighter) [ and ] keys adjust the black pt ; and ‘ keys adjust the white pt If you...

I won’t jump to removing the xceed option yet — but you can test it both ways. I’ll add gamma and wht pt / blk pt correction to all rendering paths (B&w, xceed, or otherwise). So you’ll get the desired result at the user level to make those adjustments regardless of what options you have or...

I think i have the right-sized fix and TLDR it’s the same net result you’re proposing — use the luminance calc i have in there now but pass it through a gamma correction. By that I mean - rather than sorting through whether quickdraw is in the loop, whether the R and G values still affect...

I don’t know (or I would a fixed it by now :) ) but you could test your theory based on the QuickDraw things you quoted by setting the red and the green to the same luminance as the blue. Or by not zeroing out the red and green channels in that section of code (at which point honesty we are...

Wow thanks so much for that wealth of info. Very confused about the status bar. glad you messed with the code on the color channels. That’s what I would have done and suggested. Well I could just add a true grayscale support or at least try using a true grayscale clut. I’m confused why...

@KennyPowers — OK try this one (just a link to the .bin file from the repo, unbin it and replace the application you had before). In the options screen i shoehorned in one more checkbox labeled Xceed / Bolle color palette — it just consolidates all the RGB into the blue value Let me know if...

Much appreciate all this work and info from all. It’s been a busy week but fixing grayscale on xceed/ @Bolle cards is my next priority as soon as I get a chance to work on it some more (hopefully this week or worst this weekend). My gut tells me this is almost certainly nailed down to using...

Thanks. Darn thought we had a lead! Not on discord / don’t log on :-(. would love to see the info you shared maybe a DM here? Thx!

Would love to hear how it goes. You should be able to play it in Hi or Low quality modes with good frame rates which will really make the black and white game look good (compared to QUAD mode quality). Thx for being willing to try it (same thanks for everyone who has given it a whirl)!
