Pallette
Benadski: If a FPGA is used, can you choose your own palette in software? It would be a cool feature!
- Its actually something I had on my wishlist, but I'm not sure if its doable. One of the premises of the Spectrum that it used a minimum of hardware for a maximum of features, to keep it low in price, and still have necessary features.
- The original idea was to have a (ARM-CPU's) 32-bit word split into four 8-bit shift registers, one for each R, G, B and I. Perhaps if the 4-bit bit stream can be used for a Palette-RAM we can have a "low complexity-cost" palette. I'm certainly keeping it in mind! Mahjongg (talk) 18:08, 29 January 2015 (CET)
