Atarixlbox v7

I'd post this in the other thread but I kinda wanna keep it in the one from the last released version.

I finally ran into the screen blur problem.  Not sure what caused it but I did "finally" notice it.  Anyways it did not seem to crop up it's ugly face until I connected my xbox up to my new LCD TV and used my "component" cable.  So my guess would be that it occurs under this setup.  I never really seemed to experience it with a regular SDTV cable.

Not much to go on but it's a start.  As stated it only occurs when changing video options while "in game".  When I exit out of the game and go back in the blurryness goes way.

About the blur:

I am using a NTSC SDTV through 480i input - 720x480 mode (100x11 pixel aspect ratio on) -
where I set up all Xport emulators to run in: POINT / SIMPLE 2X (or none) / FLICKER 0.
Also, I turn the SOFT ON to better display the GUI info (since flicker filter is off).

I never saw a Xbox1 plugged to a HDTV (and I really don't want or plan to do so...).
After all this years playing  on this setup one thing I think I could say solidly is when a game is blurry!!!
And the actual problem is not only in the game, it extends also to the emulator GUI!
It is very easy to find it.

Put your flicker in zero, and let's keep soft OFF.
Don't enter a game yet - at the moment check the emulator GUI.
The letters, lines, anything, are sharp as a knife.

Now enter on a game. It's blurry!
Definitely it is not Flicker Zero!

Call InGame menu, a-haaa --- The in Game menu is not sharp anymore!!!
Then put SOFTEN to ON, and back to OFF, on the same moment.
Get back to the game. Bingo. The game is healed. Sharp again.
Exit the game, go back to the rom selection.
Blaaargh... It got blurred again.
Then, go to the video settings, Soft ON and OFF again (or OFF and ON),
tadá --- Sharp again.


Should be fixed now.  I also discovered that 10x11 pixel aspect ratio is not very compatible with non-480 modes and has a nasty habit of locking up the xbox.  So if the user has the mode set to anything higher it just sets 10x11 to no.
