Anyone have a list of the US SNES games that use this mode? I need to test the signal on an o-scope.


Thanks,
Rich

Try the "character test" of the SNES test program. This screen has interlace enabled:

I take it that is a demo?

 Problem is I don't have a flash card and I need to test this on the real hardware. I was thinking I might be able to find a game that uses the interlaced mode for a reasonable price, if I had a list of US games that supported/used it.

It's an actual cart, used by Nintendo to test consoles. Might be sold on eBay?

Power Drive and Radical Psycho Racing (RPM Racing) use it, too.

Can someone give a quick interlaced description? I don't even know what it is.

For SNES that means: 448(480 line output) vertical res instead of the standard 224(240 line output) vertical res.

I think for PAL it's 239/478 lines. Wink

EDIT: Wikipedia says that interlace is also used by Ranma 1/2 and Axelay (only in Level 4).

Secret of Mana's menu screens use it, I believe.

Nope, they just use BG mode 5, i.e. 512x224.
