Saturn's Resolution: what is it??
Dave Oconnor
the PSX and Jaguar have higher resolution. Is this true? The reason
being that if a game is released on the PSX and Saturn, I'd rather get
the PSX version because grpahics would be improved. (Assuming the same
level of gameplay) For example Streetfighter the movie will be released
on both platforms with the PSX version having better resolution.
(According to a magazine)

: Deos anyone know Saturn's true resolution capabilities? I have read that
Well, there have been some differences on opinion here, but the best
figure I've seen (in the Saturn manual, and in the magazines) is ...
shoot, can't find the manual right now. It was basically >700 x >500 if
memory serves. At the moment, however, the games are using 352x224
resolution.
We'll just have to see what happens with games in the future.

700x500. I don't remember the tenth and one digit exactly so I just put
the zeros in there.

700x500.. Am i right in thinking a uk TV cant display such a resolution.
If so, what are they planning to do with this mode? I dunno, maybe
its different in the states... (Isnt there a new standard or summit?
SVHS or ???)

Ok enough with the BS. Here is the low down on the resolutions:
Supported resolutions on Playstation
non-interlaced 256X240
320X240
512X240
640X240
384X240
interlaced
256X480
320X480
512X480
640X480
384X480
Supported resolutions on Saturn
Non-interlaced NTSC
320X224
320X240
352X224
352X240
352X256
640X224
640X240
640X256
704X224
704X240
704X256
Interlaced
320X448
320X480
352X448
352X480
640X448
640X480
704X448
704X480
Non-interlaced, 31kHZ monitor only
320X480
640X480
Non-interlaced Hi-vision monitor only
352X480
704X480
As you can see, the Saturn is MUCH more flexible in terms of resolution
modes.

The saturn has a range of resolutions between the two you list.

I guess the 352x240 mode should make VideoCD support a bit easier...no
need to strech/crop/leave black space on the screen.
