Finally figured out how to get glitch free 240p <-> 480i (and 288p <-> 576i) transitions without adding lag or fake blanking the image!!

In this mode, the RT4K syncs and scans the fields exactly the same way as a CRT.

Perfect for mastering 240p Test Suite.

I've just saw that there was an update to pldarchive with the full toki schematics ! (I was working on them since some time and done ~40%). This will be super helpful, I don't know from where that come from but I'm really happy, and will update the core accordingly

Yesterday, I uploaded the ISO image of one of the rarest videogames known to exist, of which a single copy is known to exist in the online world. After years of appeals, its owner finally agreed to share it with me so that I could in turn share it with the world.

I've just released a new tool github.com/vertrex/vcd_... that let you merge multiple VCD files and resynchronize them based on a common reset signal. I use it to analyze IC that have more pins that my logic analyzer have channels available.
