Falcon joins the fray. (lol if the game DOES have realtime sprite scaling but the framerate is so choppy it's impossible to tell the difference between that and faked scaling with different sprites)

Quote from: saturndual32 on 01/13/2017, 05:11 PMYeah, i wonder what type of effect the Mega CD used on that same scene.

I don't know if it's the emulator or just the fact that the sega CD redoes lots of new stuff but removes on others...

This was all I could find for Sega CD

Seeing some of these awesome graphical tricks (scaling, wavy patterns, etc) brings me back.

But that begs the question...why WAS the background scrolling so damn choppy in YS III? And in YS Book 2 if you recall the choppy parallax background when you're racing towards the bell.

Do the 3d globe from SimEarth, it's neat because it is a textured 3d globe.

Like Ys III, it was ported from the MSX version, which used dynamic tiles for those scrolling backgrounds. Hudson didn't bother to redo the animation, because it wasn't so unusual in Japan.

Why haven't I come across this thread before? It's amazing!!
You know, this stuff is one of the reasons why I love the PC engine so much, all of these sweet visual effects impress the heck out of me! I mean seriously, we're talking about a 1987 game system with an 8 bit CPU and a single Background Layer doing all of this! Scaling, Stretching, line-scrolling, overlapping parallax scrolling, holy crap, this is witchcraft! And I LOVE it!

This effect in particular:

I don't remember who originally posted it, but it left me at awe, my jaw literally dropped, this is some Super Castlevania IV / Axelay stuff!
I kinda know how it's being done but holy s*** seeing it in action, actually being done in a playable game... I'm at a loss of words... And I didn't even catch what game it was, can someone tell me?

I don't mean the links themselves but rather the pics and gifs themselves. Some of yours in the other thread that have been there for years just recently disappeared.

I change the addresses when I happen to come across a post with the old address, but everything should still be hosted on the same webspace, unless there are a few that I posted on my e-mail bundled webspace.

If you ever come across any and want to copy the page addresses and give me the links, I'm happy to go to each one and change them. There should be very few that I ever posted on anything other than the superpcenginegrafx webspace.

These are all fixed. There were a lot of pics in that SFII comparison.

A mod must have deleted the links, because there aren't any at all anymore.
