Perhaps the community can help out?  Does calc84 mind posting source?

Since when isn't it being rewritten?

Well, progress on this is chugging along. The graphics work fairly well now. Today I tried increasing the quality of the dither pattern for zoomed-out display mode, with what looks like success! I'll most likely have dither quality be a runtime option (cause of course higher quality == more screen updates == slower).

Here is a screenshot of Zelda with the new dither mode, and notice that the text is pretty much readable now!

wow...that looks amazing....i didn't really look into this as actually practical for gaming before since you can't see anything when zoomed out all the way and you couldn't really play zoomed all they way in either....but now it looks amazing even at 100% zoom. good job :)

Progress is still.. uh.. progressing on TI-Boy. Unlike the last version, it can now run Galaga/Galaxian! And the title screen shows off the newly supported lcd effects :)

Warning: high framerate, may not run fullspeed in browsers like IE.
