Looking forward to it!

I also wanted to add that I got the RG350M mainly because of your fantastic work. Thank you!

That's cool, because I got into pico-8 after watching your fantastic breakout hero videos! 

@Krystman See my review of the RG280V as the most pico PICO-8 handheld yet. Because of it's higher resolution there a practically no scaling issues.

@pixelpunker There are different RG350s. The RG280V has a higher resolution than the original RG350 but lower than the RG350M. Also you say no scaling issues but I see you rocking a 128x128 Pico8 full-screen on a 480x320 panel. If you can't see that it doesn't scale evenly I'm going to take your impressions with a dose of salt.

The ratio of input to output resolution with this panel is 2.5. While this does not allow flawless scaling the resulting pattern is very regular: 1 original px is mapped to 2, then to 3px, then to 2 and so on. I come from a gpicase with a 320x240 panel where this pattern is totally irregular because of the ratio 1.875.

Yes, you can still see it, mainly in some lines of text, but barely. And I prefer the sharpness of this approach to the blurriness of bilinear filtering.


There is a best of both worlds though, you do an integer upscale, then a bilinear downscale. E.g. I set my pi0s internal resolution to 1024x768. If you have high enough dpi like we have in todays smartphones the issue tends to go away.
