    But these may have been produced on another tech used in the early 2000's, such as Heber or Stealth, which aren't emulated.

    Yeah that seems to be Haze's take, back when he started the 'sys7' driver in 2011 - Pluto 6 is a skelly driver, and this sys7 one does actually start the boot process, but doesn't have devices/input set up, so it's just a somewhat booting skeleton.
     

    ```
    /* only Ker - Chinq has sound roms, they seem to map in cpu space, sound roms are probably missing from the rest? */

    /* seems to be Coldfire based (but not the MCF5206E, it writes to peripheral registers that would be invalid?) */
    /* Could be Pluto 7 or 8?, doesn't seem to be Pluto 6 based on Coldfire register use, P6 is apparently 5206e (although I should check if all sets use registers in the same way) */
    /* todo - split sets */

    /*

    Info found online

    Pluto 5: 68340
    Pluto 6: ColdFire 5206e
    Pluto 7: ColdFire 5271
    Pluto 8: ColdFire 5475

    */

    Are we sure these are emulatable though and not released on some tech not emulated or possibly a tech that wasn't emulatable until the newer MFME released from 2016.

    Latest MFME looks like it only emulates up to Sys5, unless there's some other name - looks to be Jpm Sys 7 according to MAME (and since they do actually do some of the boot process, I think MAME has it right here).  Shows 3 messages on alpha the last of which is 'Initialising'.

    For future use then :)

    Wow that really looks like a huge improvement. Is this a paid for Ai you are using ? 

    It's free and opensource :) 

    The program is Upscayl - and there are some models it ships with, though you can also add other models, I've not dug into that yet.  I think different models are best for different elements - I think if I was reauthoring a layout from low quality source material (low res grainy flyers etc), I'd probably generate a bunch of different copies using different models, and have them as separate layers, to blend in different areas.

    Have fun anyway, link to latest release is here:
    https://github.com/upscayl/upscayl/releases/tag/v2.5.5

    Note that in the above upscale I did, I also rebalanced colours (to make black actually black and white actually white), and also ran an unsharp mask.  That was it though (along with initially upscaling with 'General Photo - Ultrasharp' model).

  4. Just gave this a quick try through yet another new AI upscaling model, with also level fix and unsharp mask - it really can improve some of these flyer scans I think... though the models may continue to improve even further yet :)
