Microgrid Voxel Emulation
|
||
Assign a microgrid and only update the voxels to emulate 640x480 display.
|
||
|
||
Architecture:
|
||
- Create 640x480 voxel microgrid (virtual display)
|
||
- NES renders at 256x240 (native)
|
||
- Map NES pixels to microgrid voxels
|
||
- Only update voxels that change (differential updates)
|
||
- DSP math and voltage computation optimize voxel updates
|
||
- Effective 640x480 resolution without changing NES PPU
|
||
|
||
This is horrific because:
|
||
- Virtual display at 2.5×2 resolution on 1× hardware
|
||
- Voxel-level differential updates require precise tracking
|
||
- Microgrid emulation is essentially software rendering on 1985 hardware
|
||
|
||
This is wonderful because:
|
||
- Effective 640x480 resolution without hardware modification
|
||
- Only update changed voxels (efficient)
|
||
- Modern GPU-like techniques on retro hardware
|
||
- Maximum retro insanity: microgrid = virtual display
