Dear All,

Arnaud Cocquière, webmaster of http://www.ctrl-pomme-reset.fr/, has
just coded the world-famous image of Jonathan Mak to be displayed on
the HGR screen of an Apple II.

I've made a video of it @ http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=laJEMt5YYfc

Antoine,

I saw the Steve Jobs Apple image on a friends Facebook page, not sure
if it came from this or somewhere else. Definitely impressive though.

Jonathan or Chris? That is the question.

This is actually cooler as it seems! The image is actually a BMP. Arnaud coded a BMP viewer and included the sources in the disk image. I studied it for a while and thought it would be nice to extend it to support DHGR. So I changed it a bit and asked Arnaud for permission to upload it to github. You can find the enhanced version here:

Thank you, very good idea.

Any chance to see it in action?

Sure, here you go:

I don't have an RGB monitor so I used JACE to show the color bitmaps and the switching to Video 7.
I think the screen capture tool was taking some processor cycles because the rendering is actually faster than what the video shows.
I'll try to do another video with a real machine soon.

Great stuff! I'm glad the Video7 rendering mode was useful to you.
