GroovyBee Posted January 13, 2010 Share Posted January 13, 2010 Due to the differences between the 7800 emulator's palette and the colours seen on the real hardware (both NTSC and PAL) find attached a utility I've written :- ColourPicker_13_01_10.1.00.a78 ColourPicker_13_01_10.1.00.bin CC2 users will need the following information :- 7800_16K 78BIOS The utility displays a palette of all 256 colours available. When you press SELECT a flashing cursor appears that can be moved around using the joystick. It displays the hex value of each colour in the top left of the screen. If you press the left fire button the whole screen will be filled with the current colour. Pressing the right fire button or moving the stick will go back to the palette display. Press RESET to go back to the palette display (minus the cursor). The utility works in NTSC and PAL. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I'm too lazy to try it at the moment but how is this different than the Atari version? Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

+Random Terrain Posted January 14, 2010 Share Posted January 14, 2010 I didn't know that there was an atari version . Now we have proof that ignorance is not bliss! Take that believers of famous sayings! I don't see an Atari version of what you made here: http://www.atariage.com/system_items.html?SystemID=7800&ItemTypeID=ROM Maybe it exists, but Albert forgot to include it? Darn it! The not knowing hurts my brain! Ignorance is far from bliss! My brain! My brain! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

GroovyBee Posted January 14, 2010 Author Share Posted January 14, 2010 (edited) Thanks for that Mitch. I'll have a look at it later. EDIT: Composition. Edited January 14, 2010 by GroovyBee Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 The Atari version works in PAL it just has junk at the bottom of the screen due to the fact that its an NTSC ROM image running on a PAL machine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Mitch Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 Looks like Eric Ball did one too. http://www.atariage.com/forums/topic/27106-color-grid-demo/page__view__findpost__p__303868 Mitch Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GroovyBee Posted January 15, 2010 Author Share Posted January 15, 2010 At least all the versions are linked together in the same thread now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gdement Posted January 15, 2010 Share Posted January 15, 2010 From looking at the screenshots, I apparently have been using the Atari version. But I like the idea of being able to fill the screen with a selected color. Actually, that thread that was linked above makes it look like the Atari version can do something similar - I never knew that. I guess I never tried playing with the controls.
