Anyone know how the Xbox flicker filter works??
In Xbox you can choose (if you use a homebrew program like XBMC) betwen 1 to 5 and 5 its like rock steady interlace with almost no flickering on a ordinary tv set. I know that xbox has some kind of special hardware for doing it but maybe you could also do it in software on the Amiga?

My guess would be that the flicker filter is a vertical low-pass filter on the framebuffer.

It takes a lot of CPU time and memory bandwidth to perform on OCS/AGA. You can get some vertical filtering (nay, blurring) when displaying a 4-bitplane screen using 8-bitplane mode and a specially created palette but it will not be that close to what the Xbox does.

To get efficient, high quality results you need a graphics card with 2D/3D hardware accelerated rendering, and support for blending operations.
