Re: [Atari800-users] Correct artifact setting for Flight Simulator II

[<be...@op...>]

It seems to me that the atari800 emulator fills in pixels in-between artifacted pixels with the artifact color. 99% of the time this makes it look better. The following example would show two vertical red lines on a real computer, but will show as a solid red block in the emulator:

Artifacted pixels on a Real Atari:
o o
o o
o o

Artifacted pixels on atari800:
ooo
ooo
ooo

I don't know if there is a solution to this, just pointing out what I see. I might like an option to not fill in space between artifacted pixels.
