|[[Atari 2600emulators|Atari 2600]]|160×192<ref group=N name=one>This is a rough figure given for simplicity's sake. In reality, the Atari 2600 doesn't really output pixels, and it has no limits on the number of lines it can display. However, it did have a hard limit on the number of horizontal color clocks for drawing the picture (160), and most games only output 192 lines, hence the commonly given resolution of 160x192.</ref>|128 colors, Color/Luminance|240p|###x160*59.922751013551 (NTSC), 49.860759671615 (PAL)

<nowiki>**</nowiki>==Color encoding==On systems connected with a composite, s-video or rf cable the color of the video signal is encoded using either NTSC or PAL. While N64 games ran at various resolutions internallyNTSC and PAL has become synonymous with 60 and 50hz, in practice the hardware's VI component always doubled color encoding is independent of refresh rate, with the scale horizontally, and output Dreamcast popularising "PAL-60" modes in either 640x240p PAL regions. Note that a RGB or component video signal is not inherently NTSC or 640x480iPAL coded. When playing on an emulator, though there is letterboxing at times[[NTSC filters]] can be used to produce an image similar to playing on a TV.

Upscaling the resolution will only look good if you scale it by integers (2x, 3x, 4x, etc.). If you are scaling with non-integers, you can make the image look better using the [http://emulation-general.wikia.com/wiki/[Shaders_and_Filters#Pixellate |Pixellate]] shader.
