I want to develop some 2d computer art for game consoles, what is the full screen resolution for games made for say: The Playstation 2 The Sega Dreamcast The Playstation The Nintendo 64 How does the NTSC, PAL, and PAL-M standards affect what resolution the game will ultimately be? I''ve looked and asked around but could never get a definate answer from game artists about this.

Maybe a good place to look is at console emulators for the PC.

Just an idea...

640x480
640x480
320x240
" " "

Why does my life have to be so hard in every world?

I''ve been checking myself and have found these resolution for the PSX:
256 x 256, 320 x 240, 512 x 512, & 640 x 480

Also I heard TV Safe res is 320 x 240.

I was just wondering if there are any body out there that does or has done art for consoles that can give me more info than this.

i dont know about consoles but for broadcast video the numbers are:

NTSC - 720 x 486
PAL - 720 x 576

these are full screen numbers and do not include the safe grids.

also on a side note: does anybody know the pixel interpolation of consoles? are they square, D1, or something else? all these do are affect how the pixels are interpolated and affect width only.
