tvpassfail without NTSC filter: RFC 2119 abuse

Line 127:		Line 127:

	You say TASVideos "SHOULD NOT be running [tvpassfail] until they routinely encode video files that contain the NTSC filter." In my opinion, emulators without an NTSC filter (or with the NTSC filter turned off) are emulating a PlayChoice with no hint screen set to free play. The RGB signal from its PPU has the same [[nesdev:Overscan\|8:7 pixel aspect ratio]] as the composite output of the Famicom and NTSC NES. This makes the aspect ratio test valid for emulators without an NTSC filter even if the "OMG seizure" screen after it isn't. --[[User:Tepples\|Tepples]] 12:48, 15 May 2012 (MST)		You say TASVideos "SHOULD NOT be running [tvpassfail] until they routinely encode video files that contain the NTSC filter."

Soft redirects are just the way I've chosen to do this when "somewhere" happens to be another site. And I saw your first-aid response to spam as perfectly civil, especially on a tiny wiki still at the "Rules to consider" stage rather than the "Five Pillars" stage. --[[User:Tepples\|Tepples]] 17:13, 7 November 2010 (MST)		:IMHO, talk pages that are persistent spam targets should be redirected to other, more visible talk pages before protection, just like missing articles that are spam targets should be redirected somewhere. If there were an article about [[fruit in DX Town]], for example, I would have pointed Acai to the article section just below Coconut, and Talk:Acai to Talk:Fruit in DX Town.

		+	== Intra-wiki soft redirects ==
		+
		+	Are there any plans for a template and/or category to mark soft redirects ''within'' this wiki, such as [http://pineight.com/mw/index.php?title=User:Eighty5cacao/misc/LJ65_notes&oldid=933 User:Eighty5cacao/misc/LJ65 notes]<!-- using an oldid because I may soon edit the page to include actual content, in the process expanding it to cover Lockjaw -->?
		+
		+	I know that intra-wiki soft redirects SHOULD NOT be created just like on Wikipedia, so the answer is probably no. But it doesn't hurt to ask, right?... [[User:Eighty5cacao\|Eighty5cacao]] 00:14, 14 May 2012 (MST)

	:Of all the emulators that failed (or at least Nestopia), I'm pretty sure the reason was absence of NTSC filter. I mention Nestopia in particular because I suspect "overlay H" is a platform-specific frontend that lacks support for the filter.

	::In a video format that computes PAR from DAR, setting a DAR of 4:3 on NTSC video at the [[wikipedia:TMS9918\|TMS9918]] dot rate (ColecoVision, MSX, NES, SMS, MD in 256px mode, SNES) is just fine as long as you pad the video with borders to 280x240 first. The Genesis also has a 320px mode, which is clocked 25% faster than TMS9918 video. In this mode, 350x240 is exact, and the commonly seen 352x240 (NTSC [[wikipedia:Source Input Format\|Source Input Format]]) is acceptable.

		+	What is your justification for putting spaces after all the <code>\|</code> delimiters? I would personally be inclined to do exactly the opposite (i.e., remove all the spaces).
