The one that really would brighten up my day is the hound of the baskervilles with the col soundtrack from Mussorgsky (Night on bare mountain as I recall). This one I have so many childhood memories of, and I would like to brin 'em back! Does anyone have them on file somewhere??? Cheers David Hi everyone -

]]> Comment on Why the EGA can only use 16 of its 64 colours in 200-line modes by Andrew http://www.reenigne.org/blog/why-the-ega-can-only-use-16-of-its-64-colours-in-200-line-modes/comment-page-1/#comment-4325 Andrew Mon, 26 Dec 2011 15:22:42 +0000 http://www.reenigne.org/blog/?p=1570#comment-4325 Oh, interesting! Is Japanese text not legible with 14 lines then? And is Japanese usually displayed in text mode anyway? I thought there were too many characters so a graphics mode would be used, in which case it would be trivial to display 21 rows of 16-line characters on an EGA screen in graphics mode.

Japanese characters were typically displayed as 16x16 per character, and 25 lines * 16 pixels equaled 400 lines. The EGA was short by 50 lines!

Though having said that I'm not sure how compatible they really were since some of the EGA 350-line modes have a different horizontal frequency than the MDA 350-line modes. I'm not sure what the NEC PC-98 had to do with it though - presumably that machine's 400-line mode was based on an interlaced NTSC-compatible timings.
