Plans for more consoles? #8

Open jadasse opened 1 year ago

jadasse commented 1 year ago

Are there plans to extend the range of consoles to convert images to? Like the Mega Drive, Game Boy Color, SNES, PC Engine, or the Atari 8-bit line?

Indeed, I would like to see support of Intellivision's STIC. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_Television_Interface_Chip

@jadasse @polluks What really helps is any technical specs on how the bitmap is encoded in memory and how the color mappings are done (if one is present). That helps cut down on the research time and gets faster into implementation.

@polluks What you provided as a link for the Intellivision is sufficient to get started on it.

Ok, SNES has been added in PR#34 for binary export. If you need help understanding their exports, let me know. It's considered experimental as I cannot test the resulting output but I welcome feedback so I can fix any issues / misunderstandings that may exist in the output format. Intellivision was added in PR#30 (but PR#34 also has this support).

This fix is merged. You can now download binary outputs for the Intellivision STIC and a bunch of SNES modes were added too. This is all experimental and untested so it could have issues so feedback is appreciated.
