SuperGrafx mentioned in SEGA interview on making 3D Sonic the Hedgehog for 3DS

[Tatsujin]

there are about four or so different resolution/modes to choose from. and each of the three games is differently done as well. anyhow, I just use native resolution for the most near arcade experience possible.

[Joe Redifer]

How do you know the resolution is native? It doesn't say native anywhere.

I just wish I could play these on a TV or monitor instead of a handheld.

[Tatsujin]

I know it by seeing it. when it uses the exact amount of pixels as it was designed for. you easily see that if the picture is washed out/blured/interlaced etc. -> not native. or if each pixel is crisp and clear perfectly displayed as it should be.

the 3DS has a 400x240 WQVGA x2 screen. so it displays any 320x240 or 320x224 designed games (which most of the sega 80s games were) pixel perfect either in full height or with a bit of a filler on top and bottom and cut of 40 pix on each side.
All three so far released super scaler using 320x224 native resolution. I think, but i have to check this again, they have even expanded the horizontal resolution to meet the max vertical resolution of 240 by adding more of the graphics oin each side. in this case this would be something like 342x240 uneven.

[Joe Redifer]

Yeah that's what I was saying, the gameplay is screen is now actually wider (which is easy to do in Super Scaler games, I imagine). I play so that none of the "arcade cabinet" is showing on the top or the bottom. But it still doesn't seem native to me. Space Harrier seems to be missing a teensy tiny bit of detail. I can tell in the stages that have a ceiling because if I recall the gap between floor and ceiling is two pixels tall natively.

Cancelled Thunder Blade? For the millionth reissue of Sonic 1??? And Altered Beast isn't even the arcade version. It's the MD version! Which is also available commercially. I just don't understand.

yeah me too..but hey, they're just continuing releasing them (after burner II on this wednesday in j-land), so chances are high that thunder blade will make it too some day

@joe, yeah seems we're taking about the same. what I only wanted to say is that in the "native mode" it doesn't deform/distort the pixels, which you can clearly see in the other available modes..so me very like much
