Recommended Posts

First one. Full screen (160*192) scroll in 160B in charmode (2chars)

Graphics from Mayhem in Monsterland (C64)

I'm using only 7 colours so far.

I never seen before on A7800 

Real dual layer Parallax full screen 160x192 in 160B mode (13 colours)

Glitching little bit one font, will have to redraw the background layer.

Also I will put some colours change on DLI and maybe few different speeds for the background layer. 

I hope you will enjoy.

I would like to present my new idea for A7800 - new graphics mode - Multicolor 160B+

 

Orginal picture - One Zak and his Kracken by Carrion (commodore plus 4) 89 colors used

Converted for A7800 has 55 colors

I'm still working on glitches and color palette ? 

I hope I'll finish in next few weeks

@Synthpopalooza something else ;)

@Cyprian crossplatform tool (base on pchg) I'm still working on timings and colors. Also I'm using my scripts (data,dli,palets)

@SlidellMan yes only static screens (16kb)

 

My another test LSD Lizards by Jok - Amiga 32 colors

https://tomseditor.com/gallery/i/31046/madesolskogen-aka-lsd-lizards-by-jok&lang=en

I'm getting better :)

In this mode I can use all 256 colors on screen

Biggest problem I have so far is A7800 palette ? 

There is too many of them ;( I just need ONE.

 

Enjoy

@Cyprian not my tool. I know that one for ST. I'll send you PM

I can change up to 6 colors per line.  

LSD Lizards are up to 3 colors per scanline.

 

But I'll probably stay with 3 colors max and change my DLI script to generate something like this:

 

	ldx #$23
	ldy #$45
	lda #$67
	sta WSYNC
	stx P0C1
	sty P0C2
	sta P0c3

 

@Synthpopalooza I will try with 320B next.

But I'm not going to experiment with interlacing.

When you do 320B ...

 

It works like Antic 4 on the XL/XE but with one caveat:  00 and 01 can't occupy the same nybble.  It will result in both pixels being blank.  There is a way to defeat this, by engaging what is called Kangaroo mode, by turning off transparency.  The tradeoff for this is, 00 on your sprites will return the BG color, and not transparency.

 

Also you get two palettes available instead of just one.  Not usually used in game because of high DMA/MARIA costs, but can be used for static pictures/title screens.

The other modes (apart from the 4 color 160A and two color 320A)

 

320C ... is a 320 pixel mode, but has the limitation that every nybble must take its color from the same Px palette number.

 

320D ... is a weird one.  Even columns are taken from one palette and odd columns from another.  I did try an interlace experiment once where you swap character sets and also color palettes, to get a 320 pixel vertical line interlace, but it didn't look very well.  So 320D is, at least to me, not of much use.

 

DMA costs:  160A/320A has lower DMA overhead than 160B/320B.  320C DMA overhead matches to 320B, and 320D DMA overhead matches to 320A.  This should be kept in mind when using these modes for actual in-game graphics.
