+Andrew Davie Posted November 12, 2020 Share Posted November 12, 2020 On my NTSC '2600, with my TV set to NTSC 3.58, the Recently Added ROM "Kaboom HSC NTSC" displays only in greyscale. No other ROMs that I have tested are missing colour like this. I have tried fiddling with difficulty switches - no change. Tesing on a '2600 JR -- no Colour/B&W switch avaialble. Could this be an initialisation error? How odd. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted November 12, 2020 Author Share Posted November 12, 2020 Normally, one would suspect the "odd scanline count" PAL colour-loss. However, I checked the binary and it's 262 according to Stella. I'd put this one down to some weirdness in my dual-format TV. Maybe. Unless Kaboom actually has a B&W mode...?

Omegamatrix Posted November 13, 2020 Share Posted November 13, 2020 Kaboom does have a black and white mode, and it checks SWCHB for the color/bw switch each frame. Everything looks normal in this game. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
+Andrew Davie Posted November 13, 2020 Author Share Posted November 13, 2020 There you go -- I just discovered that my Atari does indeed have a COLOR/B&W switch and when I flick it.... COLOUR! I'm really quite intelligent, you know. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
