8:3 ratio, if I remember correctly? I’m amazed the NTSC color standard works at all. The picture should be orders of magnitude worse.

One thing to keep in mind is the non-integer ratio between the NES internal framebuffer resolution and the NTSC frame resolution.

Thanks! The next step is to take pictures of the NES running on my 12″ television. The hardware has heavy artifacting, which (I think) can be reproduced by enlarging the image and drawing the artifacts at the “subpixel” level. We’ll see… Also I need a camera…

Oh man, that looks really good.
