RE: https://mastodon.gamedev.place/@eniko/115997862376195752
aha! i figured it out! DOS mode X 256x224 is really just 320x240 with padding
BUT, if i use VESA 640x480 then 128x96 actually scales cleanly, with each pixel being 5x5
so for DOS i can do that with 256x224 as a fallback
i've finally completely figured out my retro hardware universal framebuffer display mode for my Bismuth VM

@eniko Also got answer from pouet.net: the 256 wide tweak modes *did* exist, but projectors did not like it at all, so if you want to see your demo on the big screen, well...

@eniko A friend of mine did a few demos using 256-modes. Here is one with included turbo basic source code (including the 256 mode setting): https://www.pouet.net/prod.php?which=8741 According to comments it is hard to run in emulators...!

@sol_hsa hmm maybe 320x240 with manual letter/pillarboxing then?

@kate no device, it's my VM, that I wanna get running on a variety of retro hardware

@eniko And while on memory lane, if you haven't already seen the things made by Tran https://www.pouet.net/groups.php?which=878 then those have weird graphics modes as well!

In case you have no idea what I'm on about (likely): imagine writing a game for a 128x96 framebuffer screen once and then being able to run it on modern systems, web, DOS, SNES, Mega Drive, GBA, and PSX

@eniko That was kinda the idea with my engine, maug, but the lowest common denominator is sooo looow... so I kinda gave up on the really low end... I ended up making some sprite abstractions for systems with hardware sprites, tho, so maybe there's hope...

@indigoparadox i mean, 128x96 is kinda pico-8ish so it's still usable
plus i can add less universal modes later

Prima di SlowFood, Eataly etc. c'era l'"anarchenologo" #LuigiVeronelli. Questa una delle sue trasmissioni #TV più interessanti, altrimenti si trovano facilmente suoi articoli su A-Rivista Anarchica.

us, yesterday evening “we've just spent the day looking at conference video, we're tired, but the laptop is already connected to the big(-ish) screen in front of the couch, let's watch something lightweight, like @TechConnectify preaching to the choir¹ about how cool solar panels are”
us, yesterday evening, a bit more than one hour later: “ouch”
but it was the good kind of “ouch”, because those things needed to be said, thanks for doing so
¹ at least in our case
