One thing that is a huge improvement over the original 7800

Is the color palette especially for Commando. Could never get any modern TV even close to the correct colors like the 2600+ does.

And much brighter!  Connecting my 7800 to any modern TV for some reason it was dark. It was difficult to see certain sprites and shots fired. If I adjusted the brightness on the TV the picture would be washed out. I didn’t use my 7800 much because of this.
 

The 2600+ looks great on modern TVs in 2600 or 7800 mode. I now can see those sprites and shots on my games very clearly!

IIRC I understand thanks need to go to @Trebor for his colour palette work and of course @raz0red @RevEng for implemtation.

I played today Xevious with Rev3 and it looks much better than on 1.0. Thanks for that

Does your 7800 have an A/V mod?  A friend of mine modified mine, and at first everything was darker, until he took it apart again and made some kind of brightness/color adjustment.

No mod on mine, but I will see if there is a brightness adjustment. Thank you for the info.

My pleasure.  I have worked on the 7800 NTSC and PAL palettes.  For the 2600, it has only been for NTSC. 

Coincidentally, I believe I read, there appears to be some issue(s) with the PAL side of 2600.  Happy to take a look at that too.

I am happy how the PAL palette looks for 2600/7800 since it got changed the last time, many thanks!

Now just a few 2600 PAL60 carts need to be patched to use the PAL palette 🤗

plus once public updates come out, i imagine the benefit of being able to play games like Robot Tank, Space Shuttle and supercharger games on a 7800 compatible someday, it's nice to know we might have the possibility of full compatibility to some extent at the very least.
